The original advert was posted on 29 October 2026 and runs for 34 days.
Fides Recruitment was founded in 2008 by seasoned recruiter Brent Leeuw, and in 2011 a second company, Fides Placements, was started to focus on executive search and placements. Fides is able to offer clients assistance in finding high-calibre individuals who are hard to find, and its database includes screened candidates. The Stock Controller is responsible for maintaining accurate physical and system stock levels across the factory. The position ensures that all incoming materials, production issues, stock transfers, returns and finished goods are properly recorded and controlled, and that the company has the correct materials available for production while maintaining accurate stock records and minimising stock losses, variances, obsolete stock and production stoppages caused by material shortages.
Stock control covers maintaining accurate stock records for all raw materials, consumables, components and finished goods, ensuring every stock movement is recorded accurately and timeously, monitoring physical stock against the stock management system, investigating and resolving discrepancies, maintaining appropriate stock levels according to production requirements, identifying slow-moving, obsolete and excess stock, monitoring minimum and maximum stock levels, and ensuring stock is correctly labelled, identified, stored safely and systematically, with proper stock rotation using FIFO where applicable. Receiving duties include verifying incoming stock against purchase orders and delivery documentation, checking quantities received and reporting shortages, damages or incorrect deliveries, ensuring goods received are properly recorded on the system, working closely with the Procurement Buyer so GRVs are processed accurately, and ensuring rejected or damaged stock is properly quarantined and reported, with supplier discrepancies communicated to Procurement and Finance. Production stock issues cover issuing raw materials to production according to authorised production requirements, ensuring materials issued correspond with production requirements, recording all issues accurately, monitoring material consumption against production quantities, investigating unusual or excessive material usage, monitoring and correctly recording returns of unused materials, identifying potential material shortages before they affect production, and communicating shortages to Production and management. The role also processes stock transfers between stores and departments, ensuring transfers between main stores, feeder departments and production areas are recorded, maintaining accurate records of stock held by each department, investigating stock in the incorrect location, and ensuring no stock is moved without proper documentation or system transactions. Stock taking covers daily or weekly cycle counts where required, monthly stock counts, comparing physical stock to system quantities, investigating variances, preparing variance reports, identifying recurring causes of discrepancies, implementing corrective actions approved by management, and maintaining accurate stock-count documentation. Stock accuracy duties include ensuring all movements are captured correctly, preventing unauthorised movements, monitoring adjustments, ensuring adjustments are properly authorised, investigating unexplained variances, identifying potential stock losses or process weaknesses, and keeping physical and system stock aligned. Production planning support includes reviewing upcoming production requirements, checking material availability, identifying potential shortages in advance, reporting shortages to management, monitoring feeder department requirements, ensuring materials are available for scheduled production, assisting with material planning where required, and monitoring stock availability against the production plan. Systems administration covers capturing stock issues, transfers and returns, maintaining stock locations, item codes and descriptions, ensuring correct units of measure, producing stock reports and maintaining accurate documentation. Reporting covers current stock levels, shortages, variances, adjustments, slow-moving, obsolete and excess stock, stock issued to and returned from production, stock accuracy, material consumption, and stock-on-hand versus production requirements. Document control covers purchase orders, delivery notes, GRVs, stock issue, transfer and return notes, stock adjustment documents, stock count sheets, variance reports and production material requisitions. Health and safety duties include complying with all company health and safety procedures, ensuring stock is stored safely, reporting unsafe storage conditions, keeping aisles and access areas clear, using material-handling equipment correctly where applicable, wearing required PPE, and reporting damaged racking, pallets or storage equipment.
