Stores Manager

We are looking to recruit a Stores Manager to work for a small SME manufacturing business but operate across the globe through partners. We operate a small sales office also in France, this is helping to build up more business in Europe.

The main job requirement is to run the daily operations in our main stores. This mainly consists of goods in and goods out but includes other more detailed tasks. We have a large supply chain and parts come in from across the globe. These parts range from small O-rings to large palletised drums which are stored on high pallet racking (6 metres). A high level of organisation and time management is needed to prioritise the most urgent daily requirements. You will work alongside an existing stores person who will assist in all your tasks.

We operate a computer system called orderwise which manages all sales, purchasing and stock for the company. This system is tailored towards manufacturing companies and so help all areas of the business work together and operate smoothly. All manufactured items has BOM lists which help to speed up the pick process and easily see if we have stock parts or if they need to be order.

The company likes to manage the stock and also its value so monthly reports are produced to do this. The internal system makes this very simple and the data can be exported to excel. Physical stock checks on random parts are also made to ensure accuracy.

Previous stores experience is required for this position and also helpful if you are aware of quality systems such as the ISO(Apply online only) we currently use. Some items we purchase have batch numbers or lot traceability and so this must be controlled and information is scanned onto our system and hard copies also filled for backup.

Fork lift use is also a key part of the job and so counter balance and reach truck up to date license must be presented, ideally with this application.

Contact with suppliers may be required to help progress orders and also resolve any quality problems. Regular communication with the purchasing and quality team is also required.

Our working hours are 8AM-5PM Monday to Thursday and 8AM-12:30PM on a Friday. We are located in Park Royal NW10 London in a large industrial park. Onsite parking or good public transport links all around.

We are an expanding company and searching for people to help with this and bring in new ideas. We are constantly trying to expand our global sales network either directly or through agents and so very important we can meet these growing demands and maintain our delivery lead times.
