Job Description

Do you come from a CNC machining, engineering workshop or precision manufacturing environment?


We are recruiting for a Production Planner & Scheduler role with a well-established New Zealand engineering manufacturer producing precision-machined components and high-performance engineering plastics.


This opportunity is ideally suited to someone who understands how an engineering machine shop operates and can confidently work with machinists, programmers, foremen and production teams in a fast-paced custom manufacturing environment.


Why this role is different


This is not a traditional planning role where success is determined purely by spreadsheets and ERP systems.


The successful person will bring a strong understanding of engineering manufacturing, machining processes and workshop operations, alongside planning and coordination capability.


About the Role


You'll be responsible for coordinating workflow across multiple machining operations, balancing machine capacity, customer priorities and production requirements.


Responsibilities include:


  • Scheduling and coordinating work through a jobbing-shop environment
  • Managing workflow, bottlenecks and machine capacity
  • Coordinating materials and supplier requirements
  • Supporting production teams to achieve delivery commitments
  • Working closely with machinists, programmers, foremen and sales teams
  • Maintaining planning and scheduling information


What We're Looking For


Highly regarded experience includes:


  • Engineering workshop or CNC machining environment
  • Precision engineering or industrial manufacturing
  • Planning, scheduling or workflow coordination
  • CAD/CAM exposure
  • Understanding engineering drawings and manufacturing processes
  • Knowledge of engineering materials, machining constraints and quality requirements
  • Capacity planning and resource coordination
  • ERP and manufacturing systems experience


Who we are


At PERSOL, we connect people to meaningful work and growth.

With decades of experience and a future-focused mindset, we're here to support your career journey. We offer fresh opportunities, trusted guidance, and a people-first approach.


We're committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace that embraces diverse experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives.


We strongly encourage applications from individuals from all communities.
