Are you someone who enjoys being out on-site rather than sitting behind a desk? Do you have experience in stock control, inventory management, asset auditing, or warehouse operations? If so, we have an exciting opportunity to join a leading utilities organisation as a Field-Based Stock Control Coordinator.
This is a hands-on role where you'll travel across depots and operational sites throughout the East and West Midlands, helping to identify, track, and maximise the use of valuable stock and assets. You'll play a key role in driving operational efficiency, reducing unnecessary purchasing, and supporting a major stock optimisation programme.
Summary
- Start date: ASAP
- Duration: 6 months with potential for longer
- Location: Field based across the South West & Wales Area including Bristol, Plymouth, Cardiff and Swansea
- Pay Rate: £21.36 per hour
- Hours: 37 hours per week Monday to Friday
- Working Pattern: Typically 8am to 4pm, with flexibility to manage your own schedule around site visits and travel
Purpose Of The Role
As a Stock Control Coordinator, you'll spend the majority of your time visiting operational depots and sites, carrying out stock audits and helping teams better understand, organise, and utilise existing materials and assets.
You'll be responsible for identifying surplus, unused, or underutilised stock and ensuring accurate records are maintained. Working closely with depot and operational teams, you'll help drive better visibility of stock across the business and support initiatives that deliver significant cost savings.
This role would suit someone who enjoys working independently, managing their own diary, building relationships with operational stakeholders, and being out in the field.
