On behalf of AWE, we are looking for a Material Production Planner (Outside IR35) for an 18 Month hybrid contract based in Burghfield.

What if you could work on something that you can’t test… but cannot afford to fail? Something that could have spent years on a submarine, is launched into outer space (where the temperature is below -250c), comes hurtling through the atmosphere, being heated up and shaken and then must work? Some challenge. That’s exactly what the team of over 6,500 people at AWE do every day delivering important work, in support of the most important mission – keeping the nation safe.

AWE plays a crucial role in national nuclear security. Their role in nuclear deterrence and their specialist technical assistance to nuclear threat reduction is vital in the defence against the most serious threats faced by the UK.

• Sourcing, consolidating & translating Demand data from across the TC and relaying onto Commercial Function to support the creation of procurement plans that address future material requirements and adhere to PPR/DSPCR thresholds.
• Working with TC Planners, Commercial & Finance Partners to ensure appropriate procurement strategy is in place to enable delivery of programme materials.

Essential:

• Experience of collaborative working and bringing groups together.
