Location: Wigan

We are excited to expand our team with a new Stock Controller at our Carver and Co Depot, part of Sysco GB, in Wigan. The role involves planning and managing stock levels for multi-temp products across various categories and locations. You will collaborate with multiple departments, including the chilled production unit and office, to achieve business targets.

As a Stock Controller, your daily responsibilities include verifying that physical stock matches system records, assisting the Butchery Supervisor in reviewing product ranges to meet customer demand, and ensuring adherence to quality standards such as ISO, BRC, and FSA. You will oversee inventory management, conduct accurate stock counts, and generate reports using FIFO methodology. Collaboration with the Warehouse Goods In/Out teams is essential to prevent shortages and ensure efficient unloading, storage, and preparation for delivery. Routine quality control inspections for damage and compliance, along with investigating stock variances, are also key aspects of the role. This position offers variety, and no two days are the same.

We prefer candidates experienced in operating a counterbalance FLT. A valid FLT certificate is ideal, but refresher training can be provided if needed. Attention to detail and a proactive attitude are crucial for maintaining accurate stock levels. The role requires independence, teamwork, reliability, flexibility, and a safety-conscious mindset aligned with warehouse safety regulations.

In addition to a competitive salary, benefits include:

• Wagestream – early access to earned salary and financial wellbeing support
• Option to purchase extra annual leave
• Help at Hand – 24/7 GP, physiotherapy, and health services for you and your family
• Life assurance
• Discounts through Sysco Perks on various products and services
• Product discounts at our company
