ABOUT IEIS
IEIS is a specialist engineering business based at Stone Business Park in Staffordshire, supporting large-scale industrial and construction projects across the UK. The business is growing, the team is close-knit, and the work is genuinely varied.
THE ROLE
This isn’t a quiet stores job.

* Operate a counterbalance forklift for loading, unloading, and stock movement
* Organise and package site shipments of tools and materials
* Maintain stock records and log assets and consumables on the system
* Keep the stores clean, organised, and correctly maintained

* Proven hands-on experience with industrial or construction tools and equipment
* Practical knowledge of lifting gear: slings, shackles, and chain blocks etc
* Ability to safely change plugs, replace cables, and carry out basic electrical fault finding
* Full UK driving licence
* Comfortable with basic computer use for data entry and asset logging
