Your responsibilities will include:

Maintaining production-related information within Microsoft Business Central.

Creating and managing production plans, bills of materials, product specifications and quality records.

Supporting Production and Planning teams with scheduling and stock management.

Producing operational reports and KPI data to support decision making.

Coaching and training colleagues to build confidence and capability within the system.

Supporting continuous improvement initiatives that drive efficiency and reduce waste.

Working closely with Production, Brewing, Warehousing, Finance, Sales and Customer Service teams to ensure smooth operations across the business.

What We're Looking For

You'll ideally have:

Experience using production or ERP systems within a manufacturing environment

Excellent administration and organisational skills

Strong IT capability and attention to detail

The ability to analyse data and identify opportunities for improvement

Great communication skills and confidence working with stakeholders across multiple departments

A customer-focused approach and a genuine desire to support others

It would be great if you also have:

Experience using Microsoft Business Central

Experience within food and beverage manufacturing

What Makes You Successful in This Role?

You'll thrive if you:

Take ownership and pride in your work.

Enjoy solving problems and improving processes.

Are comfortable working with data and systems.

Build strong relationships across teams.

Love supporting and developing others.

Bring energy, curiosity and a continuous improvement mindset every day.

Why Robinsons?

We're an independent family brewer with a long history, strong values and ambitious plans for the future. We believe great businesses are built by great people, and we're committed to creating an environment where you can develop, grow and make a genuine impact.

In return, you'll join a supportive team, work with talented colleagues and play an important role in helping our production operations perform at their very best.
