The company:
The business manufactures a modern material that has performed extremely well in the market and especially since Covid.

They are already well on their way for this, utilising API''s that feed into the ERP system, coming from teams that are out and about (delivery''s etc).
The ideal person for this role will be a Project Manager who has experience in updating an ERP system and who is comfortable working across a growing manufacturing business. There are loads of projects to work on and you will be joining a booming company, that has seen massive growth in the last 12 months.
