This is a key role in a busy builders’ merchant operation, taking ownership of stock accuracy and helping to make sure the right products are in the right place at the right time. You’ll be keeping a close eye on goods coming in and out of the branch, carrying out stock checks, investigating discrepancies and working with the wider team to minimise damages and stock losses.

With a large range of building materials and high-value stock moving through the branch, we’re ideally looking for someone who already has stock control experience within a builders’ merchant or a similar high-value stock environment.

• Making sure stock is correctly received, recorded and put away
• Carrying out regular stock checks and investigating discrepancies
• Maintaining accurate stock records on our systems
• Monitoring stock levels and liaising with the Branch Manager and Buyer regarding ordering
• Managing returned, damaged and special-order stock
• Working with the Warehouse Manager to minimise damages and improve stock processes
• Liaising with warehouse, transport and sales colleagues to resolve stock issues
• Supporting the day-to-day operation of the branch when required
• Maintaining high standards of Health & Safety

What we’re looking for

• Previous stock control experience, ideally within a builders’ merchant, construction materials or similar environment
• Experience managing high-value stock
• Excellent attention to detail and a strong focus on accuracy
• Good organisational and time-management skills
• Confidence using stock management or similar computer systems
• The ability to investigate discrepancies and solve problems
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well with colleagues across the branch
• A proactive, hands-on approach and the ability to work well under pressure

Hours

7am–5pm Monday–Friday

Occasional flexibility may be required to support peak trading periods and operational demands.

What you’ll get

• Competitive salary
 • Pension scheme
 • Employee discount
 • Training and development opportunities
 • Company benefits package

If you’re an experienced Stock Controller looking for a hands-on role where you can make a real impact on the day-to-day operation of the branch, we’d love to hear from you.
