As an integral part of our street lighting operational depot, you’ll play a key hands‑on role in keeping our stores, yard, and fleet running smoothly and safely. This is a varied position where no two days are the same, and your positive attitude and attention to detail will make a real difference to our operational efficiency.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Taking overall ownership of the stores and yard - maintaining a tidy, safe, and well‑organised environment that everyone can take pride in
• Managing all deliveries and collections, including safe operation of a forklift truck to load, unload, and move materials
• Booking stock in and out accurately - both physically in the yard and on our inventory systems - while proactively monitoring and maintaining stock levels (setting and reviewing clear max/min thresholds and raising orders as needed)
• Leading regular stock counts and cycle checks to ensure inventory accuracy and minimise discrepancies
• Handling day‑to‑day plant and fleet matters - troubleshooting minor vehicle issues, liaising with our internal support teams and external suppliers to keep vehicles compliant, on the road, and ready for operations
• Ensuring all tools, lifting equipment, and electrical assets are calibrated, inspected, and fully compliant with safety standards
• Supporting compliance across the depot - helping maintain Balfour Beatty and general health & safety requirements, contributing to a strong safety culture, and assisting with audit preparation and facility checks
• Working closely with the contract team to coordinate procurement - sourcing and purchasing the right products and materials needed to support the contract effectively

If you’re someone who thrives in a busy depot environment, enjoys variety, and takes pride in keeping things organised and compliant, this could be the perfect role for you!

We’re seeking a reliable and hands‑on Storeperson to join our team and take real ownership of our stores and warehouse operations.

• Proven experience working in a stores or warehouse environment, with a demonstrated level of ownership and responsibility for tasks and stock
• Solid knowledge of general IT systems, including MS Office and stores/warehouse management databases (you’ll be comfortable navigating software to update records, process movements, and generate reports)
• A positive, proactive attitude with the ability to use your initiative - you spot issues early, suggest improvements, and get things done without needing constant direction
• Comfort thriving in a predominantly hands‑on stores and warehouse role, while also spending time at a desk using IT systems for inventory, orders, and administration

• Previous experience using Oracle R12 (or similar ERP/inventory systems)
• A valid forklift licence, or solid proven experience safely operating a forklift in a warehouse setting
