• Supporting production and technical teams with stores-related queries.

• Ensuring correct handling of components, including ESD-sensitive items.
• Working closely with Supply Chain, Operations and other internal departments.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience within shipping, receiving and inventory management.
• Strong experience within warehouse or stores operations, ideally within manufacturing, engineering or a similar environment.
• Experience with stock control and cycle counting.
• A good understanding of material handling and shipping documentation.
• Experience using ERP or stock management systems.
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Confidence communicating with suppliers, couriers and internal departments.
• The ability to multitask and work to deadlines in a busy environment.

Experience within procurement or inventory control would also be advantageous.

Why apply?

This would be a great opportunity for an experienced Stores Person, Inventory Controller, Logistics Coordinator, Goods In/Out Coordinator or Warehouse Coordinator looking to take on a broader supply chain position within a professional manufacturing environment.

You’ll be joining a business where accurate inventory, efficient logistics and on-time delivery are genuinely important to the wider operation.
