TITLE : Automotive Parts Specialist - Logistics

Salary : circa £40,000 p/a + 15% bonus (additional
£6,000). Salary may be negotiable

Location: Rugby

The role: This is an OEM-side warehouse/3PL operations role with
real ownership, rather than a conventional warehouse job. The
position is based at a UK warehouse in Rugby, and you will
effectively be the company’s representative on site, acting as
the main interface between the business and its third-party
logistics provider. You will oversee and challenge the 3PL
provider: monitoring receiving, put-away, storage, picking,
packing, dispatch and returns and making sure the logistics
partner is performing against its contract and SLAs.

Duties :There is genuine operational problem-solving role and a
large part of the job is dealing with things that have gone wrong
— urgent orders, backorders, incorrect shipments, shortages,
damage and stock discrepancies. The job specifically works across
Supply Chain, Aftersales, Finance, IT and the 3PL operation. They
would also look for ways of making the operation faster, more
accurate or less expensive

· Look at the previous week's warehouse performance: Were
orders dispatched on time? How accurate was picking? Were parts
put away quickly enough? Are there backorders or urgent dealer
orders outstanding? Are there any stock discrepancies? The role
specifically tracks put-away lead time, on-time dispatch, picking
accuracy and inventory accuracy. They'd then speak with the 3PL
team about problems and agree what needs attention that week.

· Walk the warehouse checking inbound parts, storage,
picking, packing and dispatch processes. A dealer may have
received the wrong component, a shipment may be short or damaged,
or the system may show stock that can't actually be found. The
Parts Specialist investigates what happened and coordinates the
solution.

· Stock & Inventory reviewing inventory accuracy, cycle
counts and discrepancies with the 3PL The role supports both
cycle counts and the annual stocktake

· Improvements. Talk to Aftersales about an urgent dealer
requirement, Supply Chain about incoming stock, Finance about a
discrepancy, or IT because something isn't flowing correctly
through the system.

· Performance review review the week's KPIs with the 3PL
suggest improvements
