Job Description
Imagine working for a business that has been a staple of British agriculture since the mid 1940's. We aren't just a company; we are a community of growers passionate about delivering the highest quality produce to dinner tables across the country.
As our Engineering Stores Person, you aren't just managing shelves, you are the heartbeat of our maintenance department. When a machine needs a part to keep the harvest moving, you're the one who ensures it's there. You'll be part of a team that prides itself on "doing things the right way," combining traditional values with modern engineering.
Your Role in the Team:
You'll work closely with our Engineering Manager and a team of skilled engineers. Your day-to-day will be a mix of hands-on warehouse management and vital administrative support:
- The Hub of Operations: You'll receive, verify, and store incoming materials, ensuring every nut, bolt, and component is right where it needs to be.
- Inventory Ownership: Using your keen eye for detail, you'll manage our digital inventory system (Excel/ERP), keeping records accurate and conducting regular stocktakes.
- Engineer Support: You are the first port of call for our engineers, issuing the parts they need to keep our operations running smoothly.
- Operational Excellence: Beyond the stores, you'll help track equipment downtime and coordinate with various departments to keep the site efficient, safe, and clean.
You'll be a great fit if:
- You have a solid background in engineering stores and a basic understanding of mechanical components.
- You are IT-literate (especially with Excel and purchasing systems) and enjoy the "puzzle" of stock management.
- You are physically fit and happy to be on your feet, moving materials and keeping the stores in top shape.
- You hold a Forklift licence (this is a big plus, but not a dealbreaker!).
- You value Health & Safety and take pride in maintaining a safe environment for your colleagues.
What we can offer you:
- Competative salary with a fortnightly pay structure.
- 28 days annual leave (which increases with length of service)
- Real opportunities to learn and grow within the business.
- Free on-site parking
- Reliable pension scheme
- Free WiFi
- Relocation support: Opportunity to occupy company accommodation.
