Role Overview

This position is central to the smooth movement, storage, and control of materials and tools that support production. The role is well suited to someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment within joinery and fit-out operations.

Key Duties

• Accept incoming materials and tools, verify them carefully, and place them into storage.
• Keep inventory records current and accurate for all items held in the store.
• Release materials to production teams according to job requirements and on schedule.
• Track stock usage and alert procurement when replenishment is needed.
• Maintain a tidy, well-organized store area that meets safety expectations.
