Are you organised, analytical and looking to build your career within stock control? We're working with a well established food manufacturing business in Harlow that is looking to add an Assistant Stock Controller to its growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast paced environment where you'll play a key role in ensuring stock accuracy, supporting production and helping maintain efficient operations across multiple sites.
The Role
Working closely with the Senior Stock Controller and Finance team, you'll be responsible for supporting all aspects of stock control and inventory management. No two days are the same, and you'll be involved in everything from daily stock checks through to monthly stock takes and reporting.
Key responsibilities include:

- Auditing daily vehicle dispatches
- Booking deliveries into the system across multiple sites
- Investigating stock discrepancies and resolving stock queries
- Monitoring stock exception reports
- Managing part pallets and returning cancelled orders to stock

- Assisting with monthly stock takes across three sites
- Producing reports on stock variances
- Monitoring best before dates to minimise waste and support effective stock rotation
- Supporting internal and external audits
About You
We're looking for someone who is detail focused, organised and enjoys working with data and processes.
Ideally you'll have:
- Previous experience in stock control, inventory or warehouse administration
- Strong Microsoft Excel and Microsoft 365 skills
- Excellent communication and organisational skills
- Strong analytical and problem solving abilities
- The ability to manage your own workload and prioritise effectively
- A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or similar ERP systems would be an advantage, but isn't essential.
What's on Offer?
- Join a successful and growing food manufacturing business
- Supportive and friendly working environment
- Opportunity to develop your stock control career
- Long term career progression
- Competitive salary and benefits package
