  • Ensure stock levels are accurate and replenished in a timely manner.

  • Process and correctly store returned stock from Production and Workshop.

  • Handle requests and distribution of Buffer stock, ensuring levels are maintained across locations.

  • Manage inbound deliveries, efficiently locating and storing Customer Service stock.

• Inventory Management & Systems

  • Operate the computerized Stock Control System (training provided).

  • Carry out regular stock checks and inventory counts to keep records accurate.

  • Process Helpdesk requests (Pearl/Xpert) for clients such as Scheidt & Bachmann, Daisy Group, etc.

• Compliance & Safety

  • Maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized Stores environment.

  • Follow Cubic Health & Safety procedures and report hazards.

  • Control access to the Stores area, allowing only authorised personnel.

  • Comply with all relevant company policies (Quality Management, OHSE, Security, etc.).

• Team Support & Flexibility

  • Keep all paperwork tidy and up to date to ensure a clear audit trail.

  • Collaborate closely with colleagues and management to support cross-department workflows.

  • Be open to taking on other Stores-related duties as needed to support the department.

  • Participate in training and skill development to grow within the role.

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• Minimum of 5 GCSEs (Grade A–C), including Maths and English (or equivalent).

• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn.

• Good communication and organisational skills.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Strong attention to detail and reliability.

Desirable:

• Full clean driving license.

• A forklift operating license.

• Experience using Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) or similar software.
