Store Logistics Operative in Canterbury

Morris & Spottiswood are one of the UK’s leading providers of fitout, refurbishment, M&E and construction services. As a family‑owned business with a proud track record of excellence, we aim high, act responsibly and place significant value on our people, our clients and the communities we serve. We are looking for a practical, organised and proactive Store Logistics Operative to support the smooth running of our stores operation in Whitstable.

This is a hands‑on role where you will help ensure materials are received, recorded, stored and delivered accurately to our joinery workshop and construction sites.

About the Role

As Store Logistics Operative, you will play an important part in keeping materials moving efficiently across the business. You will manage goods in and goods out, maintain accurate stock records, support site deliveries and work closely with Procurement, Project Managers, Site Managers, workshop teams and transport providers. The role requires strong attention to detail, a hands‑on approach and a commitment to maintaining a safe, tidy and well‑organised store environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Receiving and Recording Materials: Receive, inspect, label, and store incoming deliveries safely, checking all items against purchase orders and delivery notes. Record receipts accurately in Microsoft Dynamics NAV and report any shortages, damages or discrepancies promptly.
• Preparing Orders and Site Deliveries: Pick, pack, issue, and prepare materials and documentation for the joinery workshop and construction sites. Coordinate and track site deliveries with project teams and external transport providers, ensuring proof of delivery is captured.
• Managing Stock and Systems: Maintain accurate stock records in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, including regular stock checks and cycle counts. Investigate stock variances, monitor stock levels and raise replenishment requirements with relevant teams.
• Working with Teams and Suppliers: Work closely with Procurement, Project Managers, Site Managers, workshop teams and transport providers to support stock planning and site delivery requirements.
• Keeping the Stores Safe and Organised: Maintain a clean, organised and safe store environment, ensuring safe manual handling, correct storage and compliance with company Health & Safety procedures. Support continuous improvement, audits, management reporting and other reasonable operational duties as required. Reduce material waste and costs by controlling surplus or obsolete stock, assessing reuse potential and avoiding unnecessary collection, transport, storage or disposal.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in a store, warehouse or logistics role, ideally within construction or manufacturing, including goods in and goods out.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage stock or procurement systems confidently.
• Good communication, teamwork and stakeholder liaison skills.

Beneficial

• Experience using Microsoft Dynamics NAV or a similar ERP system and an understanding of construction materials or joinery products.
• Forklift licence, or willingness to obtain one.

About You

• Reliable, proactive, well organised and able to manage changing priorities under pressure.
• Practical, hands‑on and committed to safety, accuracy, ownership and high standards.

Interested? If you are an organised and reliable individual who enjoys practical, hands‑on work and takes pride in keeping operations running smoothly, we would like to hear from you.
