Job description

You'll be the backbone of Toolstation, supporting your team in making sure the right products arrive at the right branches in perfect condition. The key is in maintaining an efficient and unified team operation by ensuring communication is slick. Your team will be working quickly, checking deliveries for accuracy and ensuring high levels of stock accuracy. It can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. But if you and your team take real pride in what you do, our customers will notice and love us all the more for it.

Day-to-day

• Supporting. Whether it's assisting the Stock Control Manager, working closely with all operational departments to achieve a high level of stock accuracy, or motivating, engaging and coaching the team to achieve targets.
• Communicating. Be it with the Buying department and suppliers, or your team in daily briefings, you'll make sure communication is at the heart of everything you do to ensure a smooth operation.
• Delivering great service. You'll lead the replenishment operation to ensure the highest level of stock availability on the pick face - and you'll do it with a smile on your face - no matter how busy you are and coaching the team to do the same.
• Improving. Never resting on your laurels. Identifying risks and formulating ideas to reduce them, making proposals for improvement and implementation. And when it comes to your team, you'll do the same; mentoring, coaching and developing them to help them fulfil their roles and progress with Toolstation.
• Building a fun working environment. Maintaining our great product availability and high standards, while making sure that it's somewhere everyone loves coming to work.

• Knowledge. You're at home in large scale logistics and distribution operations and have worked at a supervisory level previously with sold stock experience.
• Hard work and passion. You're energetic, positive, highly motivated and impart this on your team.
• A love of team work. Be happy to muck in and get your hands dirty.
• Reliability. Be there when we need you, be flexible and fun to be around.

Yourself. Bring your whole self to work and let your true personality shine through.
