The Role
If you’re someone who notices when stock doesn’t quite add up, this will be right up your street
You’ll be leading the inventory function on shift, making sure stock is accurate, accounted for, and where it should be. Not just reacting when things go wrong, but staying ahead of it
This is a hands on leadership role where you’ll be managing people, processes, and stock control all at once. You’ll be the one making sure the operation doesn’t grind to a halt because of avoidable errors
You’re not just counting stock here, you’re owning it
What You’ll Be Doing
Leading a team responsible for stock control, cycle counts and inventory accuracy
Tracking stock movement and investigating discrepancies
Coordinating with supervisors to plan workload and priorities
Ensuring stock is stored, handled and recorded correctly at all times
Supporting inbound and outbound operations to maintain stock accuracy
Training and developing team members on inventory processes
Monitoring performance and productivity across your team
Maintaining systems and ensuring data accuracy across stock records
Supporting audits, stock takes and reporting requirements
Escalating issues quickly and putting fixes in place
Driving improvements in processes to reduce errors and inefficiencies
\Leading by example on the floor and setting the standard
What You’ll Need
Previous experience in inventory, stock control or warehouse operations
Some leadership or supervisory experience or ready to step up
Strong attention to detail and problem solving ability
Confidence working with systems and data
Good understanding of warehouse processes and stock flow
Experience with MHE or warehouse equipment is a plus
Comfortable working in a fast paced environment
Strong communication skills and ability to manage a team
What You Might Not Like
Rotating days and nights which is not for everyone
It’s detail heavy and accuracy really matters
You’ll be expected to investigate issues and not just flag them
You’ll be balancing people management with operational demands
What To Do Next
If you’re someone who takes pride in getting stock right, leading a team properly, and improving how things are done, this is a solid opportunity
