Parts Manager – Forklift & Materials Handling
Sheffield
£28,000 + company car
Permanent
Shillito Group are recruiting for a Parts Manager to join an established business operating within the forklift and materials handling sector.
This is a hands-on role for someone who knows parts, understands customers and suppliers, and can keep a busy parts operation running properly.
You do not need someone standing over you telling you what needs doing. You will take ownership of the department, make sure customers get what they need and keep stock, orders and suppliers under control.
The role
- Running the day to day parts operation
- Handling customer enquiries and identifying the correct parts
- Ordering parts from manufacturers and suppliers
- Managing stock levels and availability
- Producing quotations and processing orders
- Building strong relationships with customers and suppliers
- Keeping on top of lead times, pricing and margins
- Supporting engineers and the wider service team with parts requirements
- Looking for ways to improve the efficiency and commercial performance of the department

Get help with your application

What is on offer
- £28,000 salary
- Company car
- Permanent position
- Training and development
- Plenty of ownership over the parts function
- Opportunity to make a genuine impact within an established business
