We are seeking a full-time, organized, and experienced storekeeper capable of managing all stocks and inventory while ensuring store maintenance. Our ideal candidate should possess multitasking abilities, a learning aptitude, strong organizational skills, and great attention to detail, all while maintaining professionalism with customers. We are looking for a customer-service oriented professional who can efficiently manage inventories, restock supplies, maintain inventory-related records, and report damaged inventories for record-keeping. Additionally, we expect our storekeepers to have hands-on experience using inventory management and material management software to perform all job-related tasks.
Storekeepers manage inventory and oversee all operations in the store. From ordering to receiving and managing inventory, these professionals ensure the safe custody of all store-related inventory. In addition to this, a storekeeper performs various day-to-day activities:
The management and operation of an inventory warehouse are frequently supervised by storekeepers, who are tasked with a wide range of responsibilities to ensure the efficiency and safety of the warehouse. The primary duty of a storekeeper is the secure custody of all items within the warehouse. This involves organizing and maintaining inventory in a way that prevents damage, loss, and deterioration. Storekeepers must implement effective inventory management practices such as first in, first out (FIFO) or just in time (JIT) to optimize material usage and reduce waste.
Storekeepers are also responsible for tracking inventory levels and initiating replenishments when supplies decrease to predefined thresholds. This requires meticulous attention to detail and proactive communication with procurement and production departments to avoid discrepancies that may disrupt the manufacturing schedule. Additionally, they conduct regular audits and checks to ensure that actual stock matches recorded inventories and to identify any issues related to inventory accuracy or depletion.
The work environment for storekeepers typically revolves around the inventory warehouse but may involve interactions across various departments of the manufacturing facility. Storekeepers work closely with production managers, supply chain coordinators, and logistics personnel to align inventory availability with production and shipping schedules.
