As our Maintenance Store Apprentice, you’ll join our Operations and Maintenance team in a varied role combining practical learning with store administration. You’ll help organise spare parts, maintain stock levels and order supplies, using spreadsheets and our Maintenance Management systems to keep accurate records.
Alongside this, you’ll develop your knowledge of machine parts and gain supervised hands-on experience working with the maintenance team around our machinery. The Supply Chain apprenticeship is delivered through Kirklees College; please note that this is not a maintenance engineering apprenticeship.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Keep machine spare parts correctly stored, labelled and organised so the maintenance team can find what it needs.
- Monitor stock levels, support stock checks and learn to use stock information to identify replenishment needs.
- Support ordering of spare parts, liaise with suppliers and follow up orders and delivery dates.
- Receive deliveries, check parts against orders and maintain accurate records of goods received and invoices.
- Update spreadsheets and Maintenance Management systems accurately, keeping stock and maintenance information current.
- Support the scheduling of maintenance work and help ensure the necessary parts are available when required.
- Work alongside the maintenance team on supervised practical tasks, learning about machinery and safe working practices.
- Help solve day-to-day stock and administration problems and suggest improvements to store processes.
- Maintain a tidy, safe store, communicate clearly with colleagues and complete apprenticeship learning activities.
