About the Parts Picker Packer Role

The Parts Picker Packer plays an important role in ensuring that the correct vehicle parts are available when required by customers and workshop personnel. The position involves receiving parts, checking deliveries, picking requested items, preparing parts for collection or delivery, and maintaining accurate stock records.

The successful applicant will also help ensure that the Parts Storeroom remains clean, organised and properly maintained. Parts need to be stored in the correct locations so that they can be located quickly and efficiently when required.

Accuracy is particularly important in this position because incorrect parts, documentation errors or stock discrepancies can affect workshop operations, customer service and inventory management.

Key Responsibilities

The Parts Picker Packer will be responsible for picking and delivering the correct parts to customers and workshop personnel within the required timeframes. Where necessary, parts must be packed appropriately and arranged for delivery or customer collection.

The position also requires accurate completion of relevant documentation. This includes invoices, payment-related documents and other official paperwork associated with parts transactions.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Workshop to support parts availability and ensure that established procedures relating to packaging, service exchange parts and warranty parts are followed correctly.

Another important responsibility involves receiving incoming packages. Deliveries must be inspected carefully to confirm that the correct items have been received and that there are no discrepancies. Any differences or problems identified during the receiving process must be addressed and reported through the appropriate channels.

Dispatching parts is also part of the role. Dispatched parts must be checked against the relevant invoice, while invoices and supporting documentation must be completed accurately and signed where required.

Stock Handling and Storeroom Management

The Parts Picker Packer will assist with loading and unloading parts and placing stock in the appropriate bin locations. Parts must be packed into the correct bins to ensure that the storeroom remains organised and that items can be located efficiently.

When a new bin location is required, the location must be entered into the bin register and provided to the Parts Manager for the necessary system input.

Daily cycle counts are another key responsibility. Completed cycle counts must be submitted to the Parts Manager, while any discrepancies identified during stock counting must be reported immediately.

The role also involves reviewing parts movement during the picking process. This helps ensure that stock levels remain at the required levels and that potential shortages can be identified.

Outgoing goods documentation must correspond with the relevant parts and supporting paperwork. Careful checking is therefore required before parts leave the premises.

Communication and Customer Service

The position requires regular communication with the Parts Sales team regarding orders, deliveries and other parts-related matters.

Good communication is important when confirming the availability of parts, following up on orders and ensuring that customers and workshop personnel receive the correct items within the required timeframe.

A professional approach is expected when dealing with internal departments, customers, suppliers and other individuals involved in the parts process.

Inventory Control

Monitoring stock, spare parts and inventory forms an important part of the position. The successful candidate will assist with organising stock takes and maintaining accurate information about parts held in the storeroom.

Regular stock monitoring can help identify discrepancies, low stock levels and parts movement. Candidates should therefore be comfortable working with physical stock and following inventory procedures.

Attention to detail is essential when checking part numbers, quantities, invoices, bin locations and delivery documentation.

Cleanliness and Safety

Maintaining a clean and organised working environment is an important responsibility of the Parts Picker Packer.

The Parts Storeroom must be kept clean, tidy and in good order. Parts should be stored correctly, work areas should remain organised and stock should be handled safely.

The successful candidate must also comply with applicable Health and Safety regulations and follow safe working practices at all times.

Minimum Requirements

Candidates applying for the Parts Picker Packer position must meet the stated minimum requirements.

The minimum requirements include:

• Completed Matric.
• Previous experience in the automotive industry or a warehouse environment.
• Technical experience or a qualification in Parts or a similar field would be advantageous.

Candidates with previous experience handling automotive parts, warehouse stock, inventory, deliveries or related responsibilities may find their experience relevant to the requirements of the position.

Technical knowledge or formal training related to automotive parts may provide an additional advantage, although the stated minimum requirement is completed Matric together with relevant previous industry or warehouse experience.

Candidates must have been employed in their current role for a minimum of one year in order to apply for this vacancy.

Skills That Can Support the Role

Although the vacancy specifies its formal minimum requirements, several practical abilities are relevant to the responsibilities of the position.

Attention to detail is important because parts must be correctly identified, picked, counted, documented and dispatched.

Organisation is also important because the Parts Storeroom must remain orderly, with stock placed in the correct bin locations.

Candidates should be able to follow established procedures relating to receiving, packaging, warranty parts, service exchange parts, stock counting and dispatch.

Basic administrative skills are useful because the position involves invoices, payment documents, stock records, bin registers and other official documentation.
