Materials Controller

About the role

JRL Modular is recruiting for a Materials Controller to join their team. This is a dynamic, split role—spending your day managing their stock inventory systems in the office and working physically on the shop floor to keep their production lines moving.

Key Responsibilities

• System Management: Keep their COINS stock database fully up to date by processing Goods Received Notes (GRNs) daily.
• Inventory Control: Conduct regular physical stock takes and perpetual counts to ensure system accuracy.
• Investigate Variances: Identify any stock errors, find out why they happened, and write up detailed variance reports.
• Protect Production: Proactively cross-check stock levels against upcoming production schedules to stop material shortages before they cause downtime.
• Supplier Chasing: Actively communicate with suppliers to make sure their deliveries are arriving on schedule.

What We Need From You

• Experience: Previous background in a Materials Control, Technical Stores, or Inventory Planning role (Manufacturing or Construction experience is a massive plus).
• Skills: A solid understanding of Bills of Materials (BOMs) and standard stock control procedures.
• IT Literacy: Proficient with MS Excel and computerised stock systems (if you know COINS or SAP, that’s an instant advantage).
• Mindset: Highly organised, attentive to numerical data, and proactive with a "can-do" approach.
