We are currently recruiting on behalf of our client for an Inventory Operative to join their warehouse operations team based in Nether Heyford.

This is a great opportunity for someone with previous warehouse, stock control or inventory experience who has excellent attention to detail and enjoys working in an organised, fast-paced environment.

You will play an important role in making sure stock levels are accurate, deliveries are checked correctly and customer orders are picked and packed to a high standard.

You will work closely with different warehouse teams, helping to identify and resolve stock issues, carry out regular checks and ensure everything is recorded correctly on the warehouse system.

 

Key Duties:

• Investigate stock shortages, missing items and stock discrepancies.
• Carry out regular stock checks to ensure inventory records match the actual stock held in the warehouse.
• Check incoming deliveries against purchase orders to ensure the correct products and quantities have been received.
• Identify and report damaged, missing or incorrect stock.
• Carry out random checks on picked and packed orders to make sure everything is correct before dispatch.
• Check product codes, quantities, labels and packaging.
• Investigate stock errors and work with warehouse colleagues to resolve any issues.
• Complete regular stock counts and update records accurately.
• Use warehouse systems and handheld scanners to check and record stock movements.
• Keep clear records of any stock issues and actions taken.
• Work closely with goods-in, picking, packing and despatch teams to ensure warehouse operations run smoothly.
• Follow warehouse health and safety procedures and maintain good housekeeping standards.

 

What We're Looking For:

• Previous experience working in a warehouse, inventory or stock control role.
• Good attention to detail and accuracy.
• Confident using computers, warehouse management systems and handheld scanners.
• Basic Excel skills would be beneficial.
• Good communication and organisational skills.
• Able to investigate problems and find practical solutions.
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team.
• A reliable, proactive approach with the ability to manage workloads and meet deadlines.

 

What Does the Role Involve?

This is more than a standard warehouse operative position. You will be responsible for helping to maintain stock accuracy and ensuring warehouse processes are running correctly.

You will need to be confident checking stock, spotting errors, investigating issues and working with colleagues to put things right.

 

Interested?

If you have previous warehouse or stock control experience, enjoy working with figures and have a keen eye for detail, we would love to hear from you.
