Environment:

The Stores Person / Delivery Driver is responsible for managing, organising, and maintaining the company's stores, ensuring materials, tools, and equipment are accurately logged, well-stocked, and ready for operational use. The role includes preparing and issuing materials for jobs, receiving, and checking deliveries, and keeping the stores clean, safe, and compliant. In addition, the postholder will carry out scheduled deliveries and collections to sites using company vehicles, ensuring all items are transported safely and efficiently. This position supports the smooth running of daily operations by providing reliable stock control, timely deliveries, and strong communication with operatives, planners, and management.

What might a day in this role look like?

A typical day involves organising and maintaining the stores, preparing materials for operatives, and receiving and checking deliveries. The Stores Person then loads the van and carries out scheduled drop-offs and collections to sites across the city, ensuring operatives have the correct materials. After returning to the depot, they update stock records, carry out basic stock control, manage returns, or waste, and ensure both the stores and vehicle are kept clean, safe, and ready for the next day.

What will I learn?

In this role, you'll gain hands-on experience in stock control, materials management, and organising a busy stores environment. You'll learn how to read delivery notes, manage inventory systems, and understand the materials, tools, and equipment used in property maintenance. You'll also develop skills in planning efficient delivery routes, safe loading and unloading, and maintaining company vehicles. Alongside this, you'll build strong communication skills by working closely with operatives, planners, suppliers, and management, while gaining a solid understanding of health and safety, compliance, and the wider operational flow of a maintenance and construction business.

What qualifications/skills are required?

Full UK driving licence (desirable) with a good, safe driving record. Basic numeracy and literacy skills to read delivery notes, stock lists, and job sheets.
