Stock Control Administrator - Suffolk in Bury St Edmunds

We are currently seeking a Stock Control Administrator for our well-established client based in Stanton, about 10 miles from Bury St Edmunds. This is an important role that is based both in the office as well as some more physical duties to prepare stock and receive deliveries as required. This is a full-time, permanent role offering a salary of £28,000 and an excellent opportunity to join a friendly team.

The company provides a wide range of Air Compressors and related services to various industries within East Anglia and beyond. This year, the company has celebrated 35 years in business and moved into new premises.

The role involves managing and controlling the inventory of the stores and equipment, maintaining accurate stock levels, turnover of stock, and ensuring safe and proper storage. You will provide quotations for goods and enquiries from new and existing customers and ensure they have all the information they need. Additionally, you will take responsibility for monthly spare parts orders and prepare and organise the dispatch of purchased parts directly to customers as required.

Duties and Responsibilities include:

• Assessing monthly stock requirements by organising parts requisitioning with the Service team.
• Taking ownership of the administrative process including providing prices and quotations for spare parts for the service team, install, and sales teams as required.
• Organising monthly Service team stock purchases including SOPS and POPS.
• Receiving, inspecting, and recording incoming goods, ensuring they match deliveries and collections.
• Organising and managing the storage of goods to optimise space and ensure safety.
• Collating spares for all the engineers' jobs and organising for ease of identification and allocation to customer jobs.
• Informing Service and Installations teams that parts are ready for jobs to enable them to be booked in.
• Preparing and processing outgoing shipments.
• Monitoring and maintaining accurate stock levels through regular stock checks and audits, investigating and reporting any discrepancies.
• Ensuring compliance with H&S regulations within the stores/workshop and yard by maintaining tidy work areas.
• Completing sales orders for Hir, ensuring the Service Office is kept in the loop so any service intervals are upheld.
• Keeping the inventory of equipment up to date.
• Arranging annual PAT testing and waste management collections.
• Dealing with incoming calls.
• Providing occasional cover within the team as required.

The Person:

This is an integral role within a very small but supportive team, and we are seeking someone with the following skills and attributes:

• Experience within a similar role in stock/inventory control.
• Strong organisational and administrative skills; experience of MS Office and Sage would be helpful but not essential.
• Some engineering experience would also be useful but not essential.
• Excellent customer service and communication skills.
• A brilliant team player, happy to work in a role where everyone pitches in to get the job done.
• An ability to work under pressure whilst upholding excellent attention to detail.
• A full driving licence is helpful in order to make the occasional delivery; FLT licence too, if not training will be given.
• While this is a desk-based role, some more physical duties are required.

Details:

This is a full-time, permanent role offering a salary of £28,000. Working hours are 08:00 – 17:00 Monday – Friday. Due to the rural location of the business, unless you live in Stanton or very close by, a driving licence will be required to get to work on a daily basis.
