SAGE Evolution

Experience working with SAGE Evolution would be advantageous.

FMCG Warehouse Experience

This vacancy specifically requires FMCG warehousing experience.

Candidates should therefore clearly show relevant FMCG experience on their CV, particularly experience involving receiving, stock control, inventory, warehouse supervision and the movement of goods.

The employer requires a minimum of three years’ warehousing experience in the FMCG industry, rather than simply three years of general employment experience. www.pnet.co.za

Stock and Inventory Responsibilities

Stock accuracy is an important part of this position.

The successful candidate will help ensure that stock audits and inventory-control procedures are completed correctly. The supervisor will also manage receiving, stock rotation, warehouse space and supplier pallets.

Candidates with practical experience investigating stock discrepancies, maintaining accurate inventory records and supervising receiving operations should make these abilities clear on their CV.

Safety and Quality

The position also requires the Warehouse Supervisor to maintain SHEQ, food-safety and quality standards.

Responsibilities include ensuring employees use the correct PPE and that inspections, toolbox talks and warehouse inductions are properly managed.

This makes previous experience working in a structured FMCG environment particularly relevant to the position. www.pnet.co.za

Reporting and Administration

The successful candidate will maintain warehouse records and operational reports and assist with monthly forecasts, budgets and operational trends.

Intermediate Excel skills are therefore specifically required for the position. www.pnet.co.za

How to Apply

Candidates who meet the requirements can submit their applications through the original PNet vacancy page.

Before applying, make sure your CV clearly shows your FMCG warehouse experience, Logistics qualification, stock-control experience, inventory-management knowledge, supervisory responsibilities and Excel abilities.

Do not simply state “warehouse experience” if you have FMCG experience. Mention the FMCG environment specifically because it is one of the employer’s minimum requirements.
