We're currently recruiting for a reliable and hands-on Stores Person to join a specialist engineering and infrastructure business based in Chesterfield.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and growing company, supporting projects across the rail, infrastructure, construction and engineering sectors throughout the UK.

The role would suit someone with previous stores or warehouse experience who enjoys practical, varied work and is looking for a long-term career opportunity rather than just another warehouse position.

Importantly, there is genuine scope for progression, with the opportunity to develop into an engineering role and gain additional industry qualifications and tickets, which can lead to increased earning potential.

The Role

Working within a busy stores and operational environment, you'll play an important part in ensuring materials, equipment and specialist products are organised, prepared and ready for upcoming projects.

Your duties will include:

  • Picking and preparing materials and equipment for projects.

  • Booking stock in and out of the stores.

  • Loading and unloading deliveries.

  • Moving heavy and awkward items safely.

  • Organising and maintaining stores and yard areas.

  • Assisting with stock checks and inventory control.

  • Cleaning, checking and preparing returned equipment.

  • Working with specialist equipment

  • Supporting warehouse, workshop and operational teams.

  • Ensuring equipment is stored correctly and ready for use.

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Reliable, punctual and hardworking.

  • Practical and hands-on with a positive attitude.

  • Organised with good attention to detail.

  • Comfortable with manual handling and physical work.

  • Happy working both indoors and outdoors.

  • Able to work independently and as part of a team.

  • Keen to learn new skills and develop within the business.

Previous experience in any of the following would be beneficial:

  • Stores or warehouse operations.

  • Stock control and inventory management.

  • Goods-in and goods-out.

  • Engineering, manufacturing or construction.

  • Plant hire or infrastructure environments.

  • Forklift truck operation.

A forklift licence would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's on Offer?

  • £26,436.80 – £27,040 per annum, depending on experience.

  • Permanent position from the outset.

  • Monday to Thursday, 8:30am – 5:00pm.

  • Early finish every Friday.

  • Free on-site car parking.

  • Genuine career progression opportunities.

  • Opportunity to progress into an engineering role.

  • Training and development with the opportunity to gain additional industry tickets and qualifications.

  • Increased earning potential as you develop your skills.

  • Supportive team environment.

  • Annual bonus potential.

Career Progression

This is more than just a Stores Person position. The business is keen to invest in the right individual and provide opportunities to develop their skills within the engineering and infrastructure industry.

For someone who is motivated to learn and progress, there is the opportunity to gain several additional qualifications and industry tickets, potentially opening the door to an engineering-based role and increased salary over time.

If you're looking for a permanent opportunity with a company that will invest in your development and offer genuine long-term progression, we'd love to hear from you.
