• Maintain 5S standards and organised, safe working areas
• Support compliance with ISO and quality standards

• Min 2‑3+ years' experience in a manufacturing stores or warehouse environment
• Experience in electronics, automotive, aerospace or technical manufacturing (highly desirable)
• Previous team leadership or supervisory experience
• ERP/MRP system experience (e.g. SAP, Sage or similar)
• High attention to detail – able to differentiate similar components
• Forklift licence (Reach or Counterbalance preferred)
• Comfortable working in a hands‑on production environment
• Experience with Lean, 5S or quality systems such as ISO
  9001 or AS9100 would be advantageous.

• ✔ Genuine Responsibility – Lead a critical function within the manufacturing operation.
• ✔ Autonomy to Improve – Opportunity to shape stores processes and implement improvements.
• ✔ Stable, Growing Business – Be part of a well‑established engineering manufacturer with a strong customer base.
• ✔ Visible Impact – Your performance directly affects on‑time delivery and production efficiency.
