Support the goods receiving process in line with agreed Procurement and Finance process.
• Stock Control: Record stock consumed at the NCC and replenished in line with minimum stock quantities and consumable forecasts provided by the Manufacturing Support Lead. This will require the use of separate systems that interface with the NCC and satellite sites. Due to the extensive lead-times for some materials and consumables, project success may depend on proactive forecasting, so the Stores Officer is required to communicate long lead-times to the Stores Manager and relevant Project Managers.
• Dispatch: Pack and load goods that are leaving the NCC. Take responsibility for following the correct process, completing the relevant paperwork and for loading with a forklift if required. Ensure our legal compliance with regards to export control licensing.

The responsibility for removing waste, tooling, equipment and materials lies with the project teams, however stores team is accountable for policing the 5S policy and is therefore required to regularly move misplaced items to a quarantine area and inform the owners. Ultimately the Stores Manager will follow the asset disposal process and remove unclaimed items from the quarantine area and away from NCC. It is expected that the stores officer will report and rectify any 5S issues seen around the NCC.
