If you’re looking for an exciting role with a secure company - one that values balance as much as hard work - then this might be the opportunity for you. Bidfood Richlands is seeking a detail-focused Inventory Controller to take charge of stock integrity and quality assurance at our busy warehouse.

This is a Monday to Friday position that suits someone who enjoys having their weekends free, whether that’s for family, kids, sport or simply time to themselves. With career development opportunities and the backing of Australia's leading foodservice distributor, this is a chance to build something long-term.

About the role

As Inventory Controller, you'll be responsible for managing the accuracy, movement and quality of stock in our warehouse.

About you

This role could suit a range of people. Maybe you've just finished school and are ready to kick off your career.

Whoever you are, you're someone who likes order and accuracy. You notice when things don’t line up- and you enjoy solving problems until they're put right. You're organized, practical and not afraid to roll up your sleeves in a warehouse environment when needed. Most of all, you're looking for stability - a Monday to Friday job with weekends free, backed by a company that can offer a secure future.
