- Investigating variances and resolving issues quickly and thoroughly
- Ensuring stock is correctly received, stored, and recorded
- Managing short-dated, damaged, or expired stock proactively

- You have a tertiary qualification in Supply Chain Management, or equivalent
- You’re confident on systems (Intermediate/Advanced Excel & Sage Evolution)
- You have a valid driver’s licence and your own transport
- You’re detail-oriented and numerically strong
- You’re hands-on and comfortable spending time on the factory floor
- You stay calm, focused, and solutions-driven under pressure
