* Supporting stock control, ordering and reporting low stock
* Keeping on top of health and safety, PPE and site compliance at all times
* Opening and closing the site and ensuring security procedures are followed
What we’re looking for
* Experience in a yard, warehouse or similar supervisory role
* Background in a builders’ merchant or similar environment
* Strong leadership skills with the ability to organise and motivate a team
* Solid understanding of warehouse operations and stock control
* Confident with health and safety and safe working practices
* Hands-on approach and willingness to support the team
* Clear communicator who can keep things running smoothly under pressure
Hours: 7am–5pm Monday to Friday, 7am–12pm alternate Saturdays
Holiday: 21 days plus Bank Holidays
Salary: Competitive
