Description

We are looking for a strong, hands-on leader to take full ownership of inventory and warehouse operations within a food manufacturing environment. This is a key role where you will bring structure, lead a small team, and lift standards across systems, processes, and people.

This role is in the food industry, so proven experience in food manufacturing, production, and inventory management is essential.

You will lead from the front. Someone practical, driven, and highly organised. You’re just as comfortable working in the system as you are on the floor, supporting the team and getting the job done. Day shift | Monday to Friday | 8-hour days

About the Role You will be responsible for ensuring accurate, end to end stock control, from raw materials through to finished goods in a fast paced food production environment. With a new ERP system in place, your focus will be to strengthen processes, improve accuracy, and create a disciplined, reliable way of working. You will also lead and motivate a small team, making sure everyone is aligned and performing at a high level.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage daily warehouse and inventory operations
  • Maintain accurate stock control and system integrity
  • Take ownership of ERP processes (Business Central experience highly regarded)
  • Identify and resolve stock issues and system gaps
  • Build, implement, and enforce clear inventory processes
  • Lead, train, and motivate a small team
  • Work closely with production and other departments
  • Remain hands-on, supporting warehouse tasks when required

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience (Essential)
  • 5–10 years in inventory, warehouse, or supply chain roles
  • Proven experience in food manufacturing or FMCG production environments (this is a must have)
  • Strong ERP system experience
  • Proven leadership in a warehouse or manufacturing environment

Skills

  • Strong understanding of inventory control and stock accuracy
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to use data to improve performance
  • Process driven with a focus on continuous improvement
  • Confident communicator who can influence and align teams
  • High attention to detail and strong problem-solving ability

What You’ll Bring

  • A hands-on, lead by example approach
  • Strong sense of urgency, ownership, and accountability
  • Passion for people, systems, and doing things right
  • Ability to build structure and get teams working together

If you are a practical leader with solid food production and inventory experience, who thrives on improving systems, leading people, and making a real impact, we want to hear from you.
