Stores Controller

Stores Controller

Location:

Irvine

Salary: £28,000 - £32,000

We’re looking for someone to take full ownership of a busy service stores function, operating almost like you’re running your own mini business. You’ll be responsible for the flow of parts and equipment supporting a field engineering team, ensuring everything runs efficiently, accurately, and proactively.

This role requires someone who can spot problems, fix them, and continuously improve processes—not just follow them.

• Take responsibility for incoming and outgoing service stock, ensuring accuracy and availability
• Manage stock control, storage, and organisation, making best use of space and location systems
• Monitor and manage hire/loan stock, ensuring timely returns or invoicing
• Handle parts identification and ordering in support of engineering teams
• Fulfil service and sales orders efficiently
• Maintain accurate records and systems (CRM/stock management)
• Work closely with engineers, logistics, and internal teams to keep operations running smoothly

• A hands‑on, self‑sufficient individual who takes ownership
• Experience in a manager, supervisor, or controller‑level role
• Proven ability to:
• Improve processes
• Reorganise and streamline operations
• Identify and resolve issues proactively
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Confident working independently without close supervision. This role will not suit someone who has only worked as an operative or stores person following set processes.

• Trade counters / wholesalers (e.g., tool or builders merchants)
• Automotive or parts distribution
• Engineering or spare parts environments
• Any role involving stock ownership, control, and process improvement

• Real autonomy – run your own function
• Opportunity to shape and improve processes
• Work closely with engineering teams in a technical environment

If you take pride in running an efficient operation, improving how things are done, and making a tangible impact day‑to‑day, this is a great opportunity to step into a role with real ownership.
