Location: West Oxfordshire Hours: Full time, 40 hours per week Permanent
Are you an organised, practical person who enjoys keeping things running smoothly? We are recruiting for a Stores & Materials Controller to join a growing engineering and manufacturing business in West Oxfordshire.
This is not a traditional warehouse position. You will play an important part in making sure engineers and project teams have the right parts and materials available when they need them.
You could already be working within stores, warehousing or stock control, or perhaps have experience within an automotive, manufacturing or engineering environment and be looking for your next opportunity.
What will you be doing?
- Involved across the full stores and materials function, including:
- Receiving and booking in parts and materials
- Checking deliveries against purchase orders
- Picking and issuing parts to engineers and project teams
- Kitting materials against Bills of Materials
- Booking stock in and out against projects
- Picking, packing and preparing goods for dispatch
- Carrying out stocktakes and rolling stock counts
- Investigating and correcting stock discrepancies
- Keeping stock records accurate and up to date
- Maintaining well organised storage and stores areas
- Supporting engineers with day to day parts and material requirements
- Completing relevant paperwork and project documentation
- Occasionally collecting parts from suppliers
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
