As a result of significant recent and planned growth Everun are planning to appoint a Supply Chain Manager to take central control of issues relating to parts stock and its management.
Over the last 3 years Everun has expanded operations in NI and Scotland, adding new customers and Wind Farm sites. This growth has created a more complex operating environment across multiple work and storage locations with the need to manage circa £3M of stock usage pa.
As a result we now wish to appoint a dedicated Supply Chain Management function to support the day to day operational delivery of services – The function will cover Procurement, Parts management, warehousing (multiple locations x 7) and logistics. While mainly focused on parts management the function will also include areas such as vehicle management and tooling calibration. There will also be a requirement to manage customer owned stock.
Supply Chain Management sits within a circular delivery model managed by the Operations and Projects Teams, and will come under the remit of a dedicated COO. It is also anticipated that the function will provide input to growth plans including new client tendering to ensure continued scaling.
