Full job description

SFM ENGINEERING ARE CURRENTLY RECRUITING AN INVENTORY CONTROL MANAGER

SFM Engineering have an excellent reputation in the Engineering industry and have been an established Engineering and Manufacturing company for 19 years. SFM Engineering is based in Keady, Co. Armagh.

What we can offer you:

A competitive salary.
Length of service rewards.
Attendance rewards.
Refer a friend bonus incentive.
Holiday pay.
Weekly paid.
Company pension scheme.
Free car parking.
Flexible working hours.
Early finish on a Friday.
Career progression opportunities.
Health cash plan.

Essential Criteria:

A degree or HND in Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations or a related field OR A minimum of 3 years in inventory control or warehouse management.
Experience using ERP systems (preferably Sage 200 or similar).
Experience in goods-in processes, stock control systems and storage layout.
Previous line management experience.
Must be legally entitled to work in Northern Ireland/UK and travel throughout the island of Ireland if required; if you do require a visa/work permit allowing you to work in Northern Ireland/UK you must upload a copy of it with your application. Failure to provide a relevant Visa/Work permit may result in your application not being considered.

Key Tasks and Duties:

Receive all incoming deliveries promptly and thoroughly inspect each item for correct quantity, correct part, and physical condition. Nothing is signed off without being checked.
Book all received inventory accurately onto Sage 200 on the day of receipt, including correct item codes, descriptions, quantities, storage locations, and supplier references.
Immediately flag to the supply chain team any delivery that is short, damaged, incorrect, or otherwise not as ordered — giving enough lead time for the supplier to be contacted and a resolution put in place before the assembly line is affected.
Manage the document control system for all supplier delivery notes.
Manage a structured quarantine area for goods that are under query, damaged, or awaiting inspection. No suspect goods should enter the main stores until they have been cleared.
Oversee the accuracy of the inventory master data in Sage 200 — including storage locations, item codes, part descriptions, and quantities on hand.
Assign stock to the correct Sage 200 stock categories once parts have been picked for an assembly build, ensuring stock accuracy is maintained as material moves through the facility.
Conduct rolling daily stock checks as part of normal workflow, rather than relying on periodic full stocktakes. Flag and investigate any discrepancy immediately — wrong quantities, parts in wrong locations, or parts that cannot be found must be escalated to supply chain so the root cause can be identified and resolved.
Monitor parts that are running low and report this to the supply chain team proactively, so that re-ordering or plan adjustments can be made before a shortage affects a build.
Analyse inventory data on an ongoing basis to identify patterns — overstocked items tying up space and cash, slow-moving items in prime locations, or parts with a history of discrepancies — and use those insights to drive improvement.
Support the supply chain team in tracking and reporting key inventory metrics: stock turns, inventory accuracy, carrying costs, and any other measures requested by the senior team.
Conduct a full audit of the existing stores layout, both inside and outside. Restructure and relocate parts which are not in the correct location.
Reorganise the layout based on how frequently parts are picked. Fast-moving, regularly picked parts must be at low, easily accessible heights. Heavier or slower-moving parts can go in higher or less accessible locations.
Group parts logically by type and use: galvanised parts in the galvanised area, rollers in the roller area, drums together, belts together, hydraulic fittings together, fasteners together.
Take full ownership of the racking system. You decide what goes where, what each rack is for, and how it is labelled. For customer-specific builds, you will define what is required on each rack, what part numbers are assigned to each bay, and how the rack is laid out to support the assembly process for that customer.
Label every storage location clearly. Location labels must match exactly what is recorded in Sage 200. There should be no location that exists physically but is not in the system.
Manage the space proactively. When areas become full, or when stock is overstocked, you make a decision about what to do — whether that is reorganising, relocating parts to a different area, or making the case for additional racking.
Manage the storage rules for different types of parts. Belts, hydraulic fittings, fasteners, galvanised components, paint shop consumables — each category has different handling, storage, and tracking requirements. Define those rules, document them, and enforce them.
Manage galvanised parts through their full cycle: outbound to the galvanising treatment facility, tracking their expected return, and planning for their return into the stores.
Establish and own a formal kitting process for the assembly lines. Kits must be picked and fully staged ahead of the assembly build schedule. The advance window should be sufficient to identify and resolve any issue before the conveyor is loaded onto the line.
Before a kit is presented to the assembly team, it must be fully checked: correct parts, correct quantities, correct condition. If anything is missing or damaged, notify the assembly line supervisor and supply chain team immediately.
Ensure all components and materials are available, picked, and issued to production in a structured and efficient manner that keeps pace with the build schedule.
Liaise closely with the production planning team and assembly manager to ensure you understand the build schedule at least one week in advance, so that assembly kitting activity can be planned accordingly.
Where a build cannot proceed due to missing parts, communicate this to production in time for the schedule to be adjusted — preventing wasted line capacity and team downtime.
Oversee the dispatch of finished conveyor builds to customers, ensuring the correct product is loaded onto the lorry trailer, on time, with the correct delivery note.
Complete all delivery note and despatch documentation accurately on Sage 200.
Coordinate loading of lorries efficiently, ensuring finished goods are staged and ready for collection at the agreed time.
Maintain records of finished goods despatch for traceability and audit purposes.
Take ownership of paint shop consumable stock management such as paint aerosols and paint containers to establish full visibility of stock levels at all times.
Conduct regular stock checks of paint shop materials and report low-stock situations in advance, so that orders can be placed without urgent pressure.
Apply appropriate storage rules to paint and specialist materials, including safe handling, correct labelling, and compliance with relevant health and safety regulations.
Maintain and improve the inventory and stock category structures within Sage 200. If something is not set up correctly in the system, fix it or escalate it.
Drive process improvements across the stores and inventory function using lean principles. If a process is slow, confusing, or error-prone, identify it and fix it.
Work towards the introduction of a barcode scanning system. Many parts currently arrive without part numbers or barcodes, so this is a work-in-progress goal rather than an immediate requirement.
Identify and implement efficiency improvements to how parts are fed to the assembly lines. This includes reviewing the layout and setup of line-side racks and supply points for each customer’s product range and making ongoing improvements.
Ensure all processes are documented clearly enough that another trained person can follow them. This is important for the onboarding future team members.
Maintain consistently high standards of housekeeping across all store’s areas — both inside and outside.
Line-manage the existing inventory control operative, providing clear direction on daily priorities, workload allocation, and performance expectations.
Allocate daily workloads across goods-in, picking, and stores activities, based on the production build schedule.
Monitor team performance, accuracy, and adherence to processes. Address any performance issues promptly and constructively.
Provide coaching, training, and development to the stores team to build competence, confidence, and a culture of accuracy and accountability.
Ensure all team members always comply with health and safety procedures, including safe storage, safe handling, and correct use of equipment.
Promote cross-functional collaboration — working closely with the assembly team, supply chain team, and production planning to ensure the inventory function is seen as a reliable function by the rest of the business.
Ensure safe storage and handling of all materials in line with current health and safety legislation and company policy.
Maintain compliance with internal quality procedures and ISO 9001 standards.
Ensure the stores function is audit-ready at all times — documentation in order, locations correct, stock accurate.
Report any health and safety concerns or near-misses immediately.
