We are looking for a practical, organised and proactive Store Logistics Operative to support the smooth running of our stores operation in Whitstable. This is a hands‑on role where you will help ensure materials are received, recorded, stored and delivered accurately to our joinery workshop and construction sites.

• Receive, inspect, label, and store incoming deliveries safely, checking all items against purchase orders and delivery notes.
• Record receipts accurately in Microsoft Dynamics NAV and report any shortages, damages, or discrepancies promptly.

• Pick, pack, issue, and prepare materials and documentation for the joinery workshop and construction sites.
• Coordinate and track site deliveries with project teams and external transport providers, ensuring proof of delivery is captured.

• Maintain accurate stock records in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, including regular stock checks and cycle counts.
• Investigate stock variances, monitor stock levels, and raise replenishment requirements with relevant teams.

• Work closely with Procurement, Project Managers, Site Managers, workshop teams, and transport providers to support stock planning and site delivery requirements.

• Maintain a clean, organised, and safe stores environment, ensuring safe manual handling, correct storage, and compliance with company Health & Safety procedures.

• Support continuous improvement, audits, management reporting, and other reasonable operational duties as required.
• Reduce material waste and costs by controlling surplus or obsolete stock, assessing reuse potential, and avoiding unnecessary collection, transport, storage, and disposal.

• Previous experience in a stores, warehouse, or logistics role, ideally within construction or manufacturing, including goods in and goods out.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage stock or procurement systems confidently.
• Good communication, teamwork, and stakeholder liaison skills.

• Experience using Microsoft Dynamics NAV or a similar ERP system, and an understanding of construction materials or joinery products.
• Forklift licence, or willingness to obtain one.

Reliable, proactive, well‑organised, and able to manage changing priorities under pressure. Practical, hands‑on, and committed to safety, accuracy, ownership, and high standards.
