• Maintain accurate inventory records within warehouse management systems (WMS)
• Monitor stock movements, including goods received, transfers, and stock issues.
• Work closely with Production, Purchasing, and Warehouse teams to ensure stock availability and avoid shortages.
• Support stock audits and assist with inventory reconciliation activities.
• Investigate root causes of stock discrepancies and implement corrective actions.
• Ensure stock handling follows company procedures and quality standards.
• Maintain a clean, organised, and safe working environment.

Skills & Experience

• Previous experience in inventory control, stock management, or warehouse operations.
• Strong understanding of inventory management principles including cycle counting and stock reconciliation.
• Experience managing BBE/expiry-controlled stock.
• Good numerical and analytical skills.

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Good communication and organisational skills.
• Experience within manufacturing, food, pharmaceutical, or FMCG environments.
