Join a Major Infrastructure Project: We're Seeking Warehouse & Inventory Operations Experts
Are you an experienced professional with a strong background in warehousing, inventory control, and materials coordination on large-scale projects? We have a fantastic long-term opportunity for a meticulous and proactive Materials Controller / Logistics Officer to play a key role in a critical infrastructure project.
This role is central to the smooth flow of materials, from arrival on site to final use. If you have a proven track record in managing complex inventory, storage solutions, and quality documentation, we want to hear from you.
The Role:
Reporting to the Site Management team, you will be responsible for the end-to-end control and coordination of materials for a major Converter Station project. Your focus will be on ensuring materials are received, stored, and issued efficiently and accurately.
Key Responsibilities:
· Take custody of all materials delivered to site, from initial shipment through to site storage.
· Coordinate and manage all on-site storage logistics and layout.
· Control the issue and return of permanent materials and plant equipment in line with project programme requirements.
· Handle a range of mechanical and electrical instrumentation components.
· Compile, manage, and maintain all necessary quality documentation, including FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) records.
· Understand and plan for the dimensions, weights, and handling requirements of large equipment.
· Liaise with site management, contractors, and delivery teams to ensure seamless logistics operations.
What We're Looking For:
· Essential: Strong, proven experience in warehousing, inventory operations, and materials control, preferably within a large-scale construction, engineering, or industrial environment.
· Essential: Valid CSCS/ECS/CCNSG Safety Passport.
· Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail for documentation and stock accuracy.
· Proactive problem-solver with strong coordination and communication skills.
· Experience handling technical materials and associated quality paperwork is a significant advantage.
· Note: While a telehandler licence and experience would be beneficial, it is not an essential requirement for this role. We are actively seeking candidates whose core expertise lies in warehouse and inventory management.
