Planner/Office Support
ForFarmers
Date: 1 day ago
City: Carmarthen, Wales
Contract type: Full time
Job Title: Planner/Office Support
Location: ForFarmers Carmarthen, Cillefwr Industrial Estate, Johnstown, Carmarthen SA31 3RD
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full-time 40 hours per week
Position Overview:
Working as part of the office team, supporting both Transport and Production functions to ensure smooth and efficient operations across departments.
Key Responsibilities:
Do you ever stop to wonder where your Sunday morning poached egg came from? Or the milk in your cafè latte? Or what about the sausage and bacon served with full English? It will come as no surprise to you that the animals which produce these products need to eat themselves too. And that’s where ForFarmers comes into the equation.
ForFarmers produces feed for cattle, pigs and poultry in both conventional and organic livestock farming. And that probably sounds a great deal simpler than it actually is. Make no mistake: an awful lot of knowledge, research and innovation has gone into one of those seemingly simple-looking chunks of animal feed. And these are the kind of things we, as a company, invest a great deal in.
