SOC 3116 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Huel Limited is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3553 (Merchandisers, Demand planner is an index entry; role balances availability and demand), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Huel Limited what the duties actually are.
About the role
Hey! We're Huel, and we're pleased to meet you 👋
Our culture thrives on high performance, and we set the bar high for new Hueligans who join us.
We invite you to read the advert below for our new Production Planner position to understand the role, and explore our 7 Huel values before applying to ensure we have the right working environment for you!
The role
As a Production Planner with a focus on Huel's in-house manufacturing operations, you'll play a key role in maintaining 100% product availability across our D2C and retail channels. This internally-focused role centers on our Huel factory, where you’ll be the fundamental interface between HQ and the factory team - ensuring alignment, efficiency, and seamless execution of production plans across all product categories manufactured at the Huel Milton Keynes site.
This role is based at Huel HQ (Tring) and acts as the key planning link between our HQ supply team and Milton Keynes factory team, ensuring factory production plans are aligned and executed smoothly; it is not a factory-based role.
Deliver on Our Customer Promise of ‘Never Out of Stock’: Balance product availability and wastage risk by maintaining optimal production plans and finished goods stock levels across all sales channels.
Own the Factory Supply Plan: Develop, maintain, and optimise robust production plans for product categories manufactured at site, balancing capacity, efficiency and commercial demands.
Be the Planning Link Between HQ and Factory: Act as the key liaison between the Huel HQ supply team and the Huel MK factory team. You'll be responsible for ensuring production plans are effectively communicated, aligned, and executed on-site.
A high degree of flexibility to change:
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with materials, packaging, and sourcing teams to ensure timely readiness of production requirements, partner with logistics teams to plan efficient outbound movements of finished goods.
Drive Continuous Improvement: Champion supply planning best practices within the team and identify ways to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and unlock production capacity at the factory.
Problem-Solve in Real Time: Quickly troubleshoot and resolve supply issues in collaboration with the factory team, ensuring minimal disruption to our operations and customer experience.
Data-Driven Insight & Reporting: Produce clear, timely reports on product availability, capacity utilisation, and forward coverage. Use data to inform decisions and pre-empt supply or manufacturing issues.
System Accuracy: Ensure all planning-related activities are accurately recorded in our systems, helping maintain end-to-end visibility and integrity in our supply chain data and processes.

Experience: 1-2 years in supply chain planning, preferably in production management or planning within the FMCG sector, with a relevant degree
Detail-Oriented: Highly organised with a focus on execution; nothing falls through the cracks under your watch.
Problem-Solving: Comfortable with ambiguity, you can clearly demonstrate how you have taken ownership of difficult analytical and planning challenges and driven them through to resolution.
Communication Skills: Strong relationship-building abilities and exceptional communication across both HQ and Factory teams. Able to present recommendations clearly using simple slides that can be understood by all stakeholders.
Analytical Mindset: Advanced spreadsheet and numerical analysis skills, with the ability to interpret ambiguous situations using data and calculations in innovative ways to clearly explain routes forward.
And as always, we’re on the lookout for new Hueligans who love a fast-paced environment and are always striving to be their best.
