Warehouse & Stock Control Supervisor vacancy in Cardiff, South Wales (335DM)

Salary: £30,000 – £37,000 per annum (depending on experience)

We are recruiting for an experienced Warehouse & Stock Control Supervisor to join a well-established Cardiff-based manufacturing business specialising in aluminium windows, doors, frames and architectural glazing systems.

This is a newly created role offering a great opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving processes and making a real difference to the day-to-day running of a warehouse.

The position would also be particularly well suited to individuals with a military logistics background, especially those with experience in military stores, supply or inventory management, who are looking to put their skills and experience to good use in a civilian environment.

With a busy manufacturing operation and a constant flow of incoming materials and outgoing deliveries, the business is looking for a hands‑on supervisor who can bring structure, organisation and accountability to its warehouse and stock management processes.

The Role

You will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the warehouse, overseeing a small team of 2–3 employees and ensuring that stock is accurately recorded, stored and accounted for.

A key part of the role will involve taking ownership of a newly introduced stock control system, ensuring it is used effectively and that accurate inventory records are maintained.

You will also have the opportunity to review existing warehouse procedures, identify areas for improvement and introduce practical solutions to improve efficiency and minimise stock discrepancies.

Key Responsibilities

• Supervise the daily activities of a small warehouse team of 2–3 employees.
• Take ownership of stock control and inventory management across the warehouse.
• Learn and manage the company's new stock control system.
• Ensure all incoming deliveries are checked, recorded and stored correctly.
• Oversee outgoing materials and deliveries, ensuring stock movements are accurately documented.
• Carry out regular stock checks and investigate any discrepancies.
• Introduce and maintain clear procedures to improve stock accuracy, traceability and accountability.
• Work closely with production and management teams to ensure materials are available when required.
• Maintain a clean, safe and well‑organised warehouse environment.
• Identify opportunities to improve warehouse efficiency and reduce stock losses.
• Lead by example, providing guidance and support to the warehouse team.

About You

We are looking for someone who is organised, reliable and confident taking responsibility for a busy warehouse environment.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience in warehouse supervision, stores management or stock control.
• A strong understanding of inventory management and warehouse procedures.
• Experience using computerised stock control or inventory management systems.
• The confidence to supervise and motivate a small team.
• Good organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Experience managing goods in, goods out and stock movements.
• A proactive, problem‑solving approach with the ability to identify and implement improvements.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work alongside production teams.
• A hands‑on attitude and willingness to get involved in the day‑to- day operation.

Experience within a manufacturing, engineering, construction materials or aluminium fabrication environment would be advantageous, although not essential.
