Investigate and resolve stock discrepancies promptly.
Ensure appropriate stock levels are maintained for commonly used preparation and workshop parts.

Ensure all credits are received and reconciled accurately.
Maintain accurate records of returned parts and outstanding supplier credits.
Support warranty-related parts administration where required.

Cost Control & Operational Efficiency

Support the business in controlling vehicle preparation and workshop-related parts costs.
Identify opportunities to reduce procurement expenditure and improve supplier terms.
Monitor parts usage and purchasing trends to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
Work closely with preparation and workshop teams to ensure effective planning of parts requirements.
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within the parts operation.

Administration & Systems

Maintain accurate purchase order, invoice, and stock records.
Ensure all parts transactions are recorded accurately within company systems.
Support month-end stock and purchasing reconciliation processes.
Produce reports relating to stock levels, supplier performance, and purchasing activity as required.
Ensure compliance with company procedures relating to purchasing and stock management.
