About the Storeman Position

The Storeman will play an important role in supporting the daily operations of the stores and supply chain function. The role involves handling stock, maintaining inventory records, preparing orders and assisting with deliveries and general warehouse activities.

Previous experience in a stores, warehouse, inventory or stock control environment will be advantageous. Candidates should also have good organisational skills and the ability to maintain accurate records.

Key Responsibilities

The Storeman will be responsible for a range of daily stores and warehouse duties, including receiving incoming stock and materials. Deliveries must be checked against relevant documentation to ensure that quantities and items received are correct.

Key responsibilities include:

• Receiving, checking and storing incoming stock and materials.
• Issuing stock, parts and equipment as required.
• Assisting with the loading and offloading of deliveries.
• Ensuring that stock is correctly labelled and stored.
• Maintaining proper accountability for stock held in the storeroom.
• Conducting regular stock counts.

Receiving and Checking Stock

A key part of the Storeman role involves receiving stock and materials delivered to the Boksburg branch. Incoming items need to be checked carefully to ensure that the correct goods and quantities have been received.

The Storeman may be required to compare deliveries against relevant documentation, identify discrepancies and report any issues to the appropriate team members.

Once stock has been checked, items should be labelled and stored correctly so that they can be located easily when required.

Stock Control Duties

Accurate stock control is an important part of this position. The Storeman will assist with maintaining records of stock received, issued and stored.

Regular stock counts and stock take activities will help identify shortages, incorrect quantities or other discrepancies. The successful candidate should therefore be comfortable working with numbers, documentation and inventory records.

Good attention to detail is essential when recording stock movements. Incorrect records can result in stock shortages or delays, making accuracy an important requirement for the position.

Picking and Packing

The Storeman will also assist with picking and packing orders. This involves locating the required stock or parts, checking quantities and preparing items for collection or delivery.

Stock should be handled carefully during picking, packing, loading and movement to reduce the risk of damage.

The storeroom should remain organised so that frequently required items can be located efficiently and stock can be accessed without unnecessary delays.

Loading and Offloading

The position may involve physical work, including assisting with the loading and offloading of deliveries and the movement of stock around the warehouse or storeroom.

Candidates should therefore be physically fit and able to perform manual handling duties safely.

All stock and equipment must be handled according to applicable workplace procedures and health and safety requirements.

Storeroom Organisation

Maintaining a clean and organised storeroom is another important responsibility. Stock should be stored in suitable locations and clearly identified where required.

An organised storeroom makes it easier to locate parts and equipment, monitor inventory and complete stock counts.

The successful candidate should take responsibility for maintaining good housekeeping standards and ensuring that the work area remains safe and orderly.

Skills and Personal Attributes

Good communication skills will assist with coordinating deliveries, stock requests and general duties with other members of the Supply Chain and warehouse teams.

The successful candidate should also be able to work under pressure and complete tasks efficiently in a fast-paced environment.

A willingness to perform both administrative and physical duties is important. The role may require periods of standing, lifting, moving and organising stock, as well as completing stock records and related documentation.
