* Ensure all shipments and deliveries include accurate documentation (packing slips, bills of lading, manual tags)
* Uphold safety, cleanliness, and compliance standards throughout the parts department
* Support cross-training and development within the warehouse team
* Fulfill internal requisitions and ensure parts are delivered efficiently to technicians and service areas
* Track and report on key operational metrics and inventory accuracy
What We're Looking For:
* Proven experience in the automotive industry, particularly in parts management, dealership operations, service centres, manufacturing, or similar settings
* Comfortable leading a team and working closely with technicians in a workshop or service environment
* Knowledge of supply chain principles, inventory systems, and parts handling processes
* Skilled in Excel and reporting tools; familiarity with inventory and ERP systems
* Hands-on experience with warehouse tools like pallet jacks (forklift certification not required)
* Strong attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain a well-organized workspace
* A proactive leader who’s willing to jump in where needed—whether organising parts, managing deliveries, or maintaining stockroom standards
