Are you looking for a hands-on role where quality matters? British Silverware is seeking a dedicated Warehouse & Quality Control Operative to join our Sheffield workshop.
From world-renowned trophies and medals to bespoke cutlery and special commissions, you will play a vital role in ensuring our high-value products are handled with care, inspected to perfection, and dispatched on time.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will be the guardian of our standards, overseeing items as they progress through the workshop and ensuring the smooth flow of production.

- Workshop Support: Coordinating between departments and preparing items for their next production phase (e.g. moving work from polishing to engraving).
- Stock Control: Managing the "booking in and out" of items and ensuring our internal tracking system remains 100% accurate.
- Dispatch Management: Conducting final stock checks and securely packing high-value items for safe transit.

- Organised: You can juggle multiple projects (from a single medal to a full canteen of cutlery) simultaneously.
- A Natural Communicator: You enjoy moving between teams to keep everyone on the same page.
