Stock Controller

A Stock Controller is responsible for managing inventory within a warehouse, retail store, or distribution centre. The role involves monitoring stock levels, placing orders, receiving deliveries, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring products are stored correctly and efficiently.

Stock Controllers often use inventory management systems to track movements and coordinate with suppliers and internal departments to prevent overstocking or stockouts. Attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and the ability to work under pressure are essential, as the role directly impacts business operations and customer satisfaction.
