About the role
We are a dynamic SME in precision engineering and manufacturing, serving high-tech sectors such as Aerospace and other high-tech companies. With a flat hierarchy and a collaborative environment, we empower our team to take ownership, innovate, and develop multi-dimensional skills. As part of our digital transformation journey, we are implementing Madsoft Solutions ERP to optimize our workflows - and you could be a key driver of this change! Your Role: ERP Champion: Lead the setup, migration, and ongoing maintenance of our Madsoft ERP system (Inventory, Purchasing, and Production modules). Material Demand Forecasting: Analyze customer orders & BOMs to generate accurate procurement forecasts, balancing optimal inventory with production needs. Production Scheduling: Collaborate with the workshop supervisor to plan job queues, aligning machine capacity, material availability, and delivery timelines. Process & Logistics Optimization: Track parts and WIP (Work-In-Progress), identify bottlenecks, and refine shop-floor processes. Agile Problem-Solving: Work closely with procurement and production to quickly resolve urgent supplier or inventory issues. Cost & Inventory Management: Maintain Excel logs for daily WIP, and design models that integrate ERP and HR data for precise cost reporting. Audit Readiness: Lead the annual stock-take, ensuring clean, audit-ready inventory and cost records. About You: Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain Management (Quantitative/Operations track), Business Data Analytics, or Accountancy / Management Accounting Experience: 2-4 years' hands-on in production/materials planning, inventory control, or MRP in a precision engineering or technical manufacturing setting. Industry Sector: Direct experience within a precision engineering or CNC machining manufacturing environment is highly preferred. You must understand multi-stage manufacturing workflows (e.g., machining, surface treatments, inspection) and multi-level Bills of Materials (BOM). Software Savvy: Advanced Excel (VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, Power Query, array formulas). Prior ERP experience (Madsoft, Sage, SAP B1, Million, etc.) is a big plus! Technical Foundations: Confident reading drawings, understanding BOMs, and applying safety stock formulas. Costing Know-How: Solid grasp of manufacturing cost accounting (standard costing, labor absorption, and WIP valuation). Mindset: Proactive, organized, and adaptable. Enjoys autonomy in a fast-moving SME with minimal bureaucracy. Communication: Fluent English - able to liaise with regional suppliers and internal teams.
