About the role

National Gas is looking for a motivated and skilled Stores Operative to join our Ambergate Stores team. Reporting to the Stores Lead, you will play a key role in managing stock and materials efficiently and ensuring customer requests are handled promptly and safely.

Your main duties will include handling the receipt, storage, and dispatch of goods, ensuring stock levels are accurate and materials are stored properly. You’ll use SAP warehouse management software to record inventory data and generate reports, so experience with this system is highly desirable.

Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and you’ll play a key role in maintaining a clean and hazard-free warehouse while adhering to all health and safety regulations. Additionally, you will be working onsite 5x a week and you’ll be required to participate in a standby rota approximately once every four weeks to support the team when needed.
