• Identify, store and track materials, consumables and bought-in components, maintaining accurate stock records and locations. 

• Carry out cycle counts, support stocktakes, investigate discrepancies and implement corrective actions. 

• Maintain stock rotation, material traceability, supporting documentation and tool storage. 

• Support production teams with timely material availability. 

• Maintain housekeeping standards, follow health and safety procedures, and ensure stores activities comply with ISO 9001 quality requirements. 

• Contribute to continuous improvements in inventory accuracy and efficiency and undertake other reasonable duties. 

What you’ll bring 

• Experience in a stores, warehouse or materials control environment, including receiving and booking in goods against purchase orders and delivery documentation. 

• Working knowledge of MRP, ERP or inventory management systems, goods receipt processes and stock control principles. 

• A good basic education to GCSE standard or equivalent, including Maths and English at grade C/4 or equivalent. 

• Confidence using Microsoft Office applications and general office equipment. 

• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritise your workload and work independently under pressure. 

• Clear verbal and written communication, good interpersonal skills and a practical approach to problem-solving. 

• An adaptable, reliable and professional approach, with respect for confidentiality, enthusiasm and a willingness to take ownership of tasks. 

It would also be helpful to have 

• Experience in a manufacturing environment and knowledge of supply chain operations. 

• A forklift operator licence or manual handling certification. 

• A Level 2 or 3 vocational qualification in Warehousing, Supply Chain, Logistics or Manufacturing Operations. 

• A basic understanding of ISO 9001:2015. 

• Experience of continuous improvement activities and a mindset focused on making processes better. 

Your working environment 

You will be based at the Paragon facility located at Teesside Airport, working across stores, warehouse and production areas. The role involves regular standing and walking, bending, reaching and kneeling, as well as frequent lifting and moving of materials and packages, typically up to 25 kg, using mechanical lifting aids where appropriate. You will use pallet trucks and, where licensed, forklift trucks. 

If you enjoy keeping stock organised, solving practical problems and supporting busy manufacturing teams, we would welcome your interest in the Stores Controller role.
