Stores & Inventory Controller

This is a hands-on, detail-driven role for someone who takes pride in a well-run, accurate store.

Key Responsibilities

• Receive all incoming raw materials and bought-in goods against purchase orders in our inventory system — verify quantity and quality, record accurate receipt dates, and flag shortages, overages or damage.
• Issue materials to production against manufacturing orders (MOs) and record consumption accurately.
• Receive finished goods from packing into the finished-goods store and book them into our inventory system.
• Pick, pack and record transfers
• Own stock accuracy: run regular cycle counts, maintain bin locations, reconcile the system against physical stock, and investigate and resolve discrepancies.
• Keep the stores clean, organised, labelled and secure; apply FIFO where it matters.
• Flag low stock and reorder triggers to the Inventory Planner and support the replenishment cycle.
• Maintain clean receiving records, stock movements and stock reports.
• Uphold stock security, housekeeping and safety standards in the stores.
