The Role

The role is to ensure the product makes its way to the customer at the right time and in the correct manner to avoid any disruption on our customer production lines.

Working within the warehouse team ensuring that product arriving is received and processed in a timely and accurate manner to ensure high levels of stock availability

Picking product to a high standard ensuring a “right first time” mentality is applied to the ways of working to avoid any customer disruption while maintain high batch and country of origin standards to ensure the highest level of batch and stock integrity.

Packing product to a high standard to ensure it arrives undamaged upon reaching the customer destination.

Key Tasks

• Process incoming goods in a timely and accurate manner ensuring product is checked in line with the policies set out by the quality department
• Process inbound paperwork within 24 hours of passing to ensure on time supplier payment

The Candidate

We are seeking a service-driven individual with excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills, both verbal and written. While experience in sales, expediting, logistics, or supply chain management, as well as knowledge of fastenings and procurement, would be advantageous, they are not essential as full training will be provided. Familiarity with Microsoft Word and Excel is required, and experience with Dynamic 365 (D365) would be beneficial, though training will also be given.

The successful candidate will be self-motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of working effectively in a fast-paced environment while consistently meeting deadlines. Strong organisational skills, the ability to prioritise multiple tasks, and a proactive approach to problem-solving are essential.
