The ideal candidate will be responsible for receiving, unpacking, and arranging new shipments, as well as keeping the stock area organized and accessible. A keen eye for detail and the ability to perform tasks accurately and efficiently is paramount. This role requires physical stamina, as it involves lifting, moving, and managing heavy items. The Stock Clerk will also be tasked with keeping records of all inventory movements and may be involved in performing inventory audits to ensure that all listed items are accounted for and properly stored. This position is vital for maintaining the smooth operation of our business, ensuring that products are available and accessible when needed.
