- Check deliveries against purchase orders and documentation, reporting shortages, damage and discrepancies
- Complete stock checks and reconciliations, accurately recording stock movements in the ERP system
- Investigate stock variances, maintain stock rotation and minimise waste and obsolescence
- Maintain food safety, hygiene, traceability and Health & Safety standards
- Support audits and continuous improvement across stock control, procurement planning and warehouse operations
You will need:
- Experience in stock control, inventory management, supply chain or warehouse operations, preferably within food manufacturing or FMCG

What you will receive:
- €37,500 – €45,000 salary
