Your future role

We have an opportunity available for an experienced Supply Chain professional to join us as an Material Planner / Inventory Controller.

• Providing contemporary inventory management services for operational and production activities, inclusive of purchasing, invoicing and the optimisation of stock levels through forecasting models.
• Maintaining assigned inventory stocks across ERP systems in a cost effective, timely and efficient manner.
• Monitoring the technical aspects of inventory related activities, ensuring compliance with contractual, company, and regulatory requirements.
• Delivering timely and meaningful reporting and analysis to the Supply Chain Manager and Material Planning team for use in monthly reports.
• Ensuring inventory holdings are sufficient to meet scheduled outcomes, whilst ensuring reduction of total material costs and disposal of obsolete or excessive stock.
