We are Recruiting – Stock & Procurement Controller (part time)
We are recruting a Stock & Procurement Controller (20 hours per week)
The Role
We are looking for a part-time Stock & Procurement Controller to help manage the growing volume and complexity of our transport solar inventory.
As our Stock & Procurement Controller, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless operation of our supply chain, from sourcing and ordering to storage and distribution. You will directly contribute to the efficiency and success of our solar solutions division.
This role offers a high level of autonomy, where your contributions will make a meaningful impact on our growing team.
We are seeking a dependable, experienced professional who combines procurement and inventory management skills with a hands-on approach. While this role involves high-level responsibilities, it equally requires active participation in physical tasks like order fulfilment, stock handling, and occasional deliveries. If you take pride in overseeing processes from start to finish and are eager to contribute to both planning and execution within a collaborative team, this role is right for you.
This is a part time role Monday to Friday (4 hours per day). Ideally this would be 09:00-13:00 but we are open to a level of flexibility to suit your circumstances.
