• Monitor stock usage, reorder points and supplier deliveries.
• Work closely with maintenance and engineering teams to understand parts requirements.
• Liaise with suppliers and internal teams to resolve stock, delivery or availability issues.
• Support stock checks, audits, safety checks and continuous improvement activity.
• Act as a key onsite contact for the customer, building strong working relationships.
• Identify opportunities to improve stores efficiency, stock accuracy and service levels.

• Experience in engineering stores, MRO supply, maintenance spares, industrial supplies or onsite stock management.
• Good understanding of stock control, replenishment, goods-in, goods-out and inventory accuracy.
• Experience setting up or improving stores areas, including racking, labelling and stock organisation.
• Exposure to 5S, Lean, Kanban, vending solutions, consignment stock or managed inventory would be advantageous.
• Confident communicator with the ability to work with engineers, maintenance teams, suppliers and customer contacts.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Comfortable working independently on a customer site.
• Customer‑focused, proactive and commercially aware.
• Experience with stock systems, ERP, vending systems or barcode‑based inventory tools would be beneficial.
• Full UK driving licence preferred.

This role may suit candidates from backgrounds such as:

• Engineering Stores Manager
• MRO Account Manager
• Onsite Account Manager

• Maintenance Stores Controller

The employer is a UK supplier of engineering parts, industrial products and support services, working closely with manufacturing, maintenance and engineering customers to improve parts availability, reduce downtime and support operational efficiency.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys combining hands‑on stores management with customer‑facing account support in a busy engineering environment.
