This is a practical, hands-on role where you’ll work alongside your team, solve problems and take ownership of maintaining high standards.

• Working with the Stores, Sales and Workshop teams to meet operational and customer requirements.
• Maintaining a clean, safe and organised working environment and identifying ways to improve efficiency.
• Supporting the wider Stores and Yard teams, including making occasional deliveries when required.

What we’re looking for

You’ll have previous experience supervising or managing a small operational team and be comfortable taking responsibility for the day-to-day organisation of a busy working environment.

You’ll also be someone who:

• Leads by example and is happy to work alongside the team.
• Can allocate work, set clear expectations and maintain standards.
• Is organised, proactive and able to prioritise competing demands.
• Takes ownership of problems and follows them through to resolution.

Experience that would be an advantage

Experience in a yard, warehouse, stores, builders’ merchant, distribution or similar operational environment would be beneficial.

Training and development

You’ll receive support to develop your knowledge of the products, stock procedures and business systems. As you become established in the role, there will be opportunities to take on additional stock control and administrative responsibilities.

Why consider this opportunity?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an important operational area, lead a team and make a real difference to stock accuracy, efficiency and customer service.

You’ll be joining an experienced team where your initiative, organisation and practical approach will be valued, with scope to develop your responsibilities as your knowledge of the business grows.
