About the Company
We are a large, well-established manufacturing facility based in Redditch, supporting high-volume production and precision engineering operations. Due to continued growth, we are seeking an experienced Stores operative to join our production support team.
This is not a general warehouse role — we are looking for candidates with proven experience in a manufacturing or engineering stores environment.
The Role
Reporting to the Stores Supervisor, you will play a key role in ensuring production cells receive accurately picked and kitted components in line with route cards and bills of materials.
Key Responsibilities:
o Kitting parts for production and assembly in line with route cards and BOMs
o Reading and interpreting route cards, pick lists, and engineering drawings
o Issuing materials to production cells accurately and on time
o Using SAP or equivalent ERP/WMS systems for stock control and transactions
o Maintaining stock accuracy and supporting cycle counts
o Working closely with production teams to support manufacturing flow
Accuracy is critical in this role — you must demonstrate a strong track record of low error rates and attention to detail.
Mandatory Experience (All Required)
o Previous experience in a manufacturing stores or engineering stores environment
o Experience kitting parts for production or assembly
o Ability to read route cards, pick lists, or engineering drawings
o Experience using SAP or another ERP/WMS system
o Demonstrable history of high accuracy and low error rates
Desirable (But Not Essential)
o Valid FLT licence
o Experience supporting production cells
Not Suitable For
o Candidates with a pure warehouse background and no manufacturing exposure
o Candidates who have only worked in high-volume distribution environments (e.g., Amazon-style picking/packing)
o Applicants unable to explain what a route card or BOM (Bill of Materials) is
o Applicants unable to provide examples of accuracy-critical work
What We Offer
o Stable, long-term employment
o Competitive salary
o Structured onboarding and training
o Opportunity to work within a professional manufacturing environment
o Overtime opportunities
