Stock Controller Nights

About The Role

At AO, we believe logistics should be fast, accurate, and brilliantly executed — and that starts with having exceptional people controlling our stock and data overnight. As a Stock Controller (Nights), you’ll play a vital role in keeping our operation running smoothly, ensuring every trailer, shipment and stock movement is accounted for with precision.

If you’re someone who enjoys solving problems, thrives in a busy environment, and takes real pride in accuracy, this could be the perfect next step for you.

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

Trailer Building & Night Operations

• Manage end‑to‑end trailer building, ensuring all loads, drivers, routing information and documentation are correct and ready for dispatch.
• Oversee night‑shift workflows including tranship operations, crew changes, departure tracking and exception handling.
• Keep systems updated in real‑time to support accurate, on‑time departures.

Additions & System Accuracy

• Lead the "Additions" process — handling route changes, producing reports and communicating updates across teams.
• Maintain accuracy across internal systems, ensuring clean, reliable data for the wider operation.

Inbound & Inventory Control

• Check inbound documentation and assign loads to the correct bays.
• Use the Goods In Dashboard to process JIT, KLS, HD and Bulk supplier deliveries, escalating discrepancies as needed.
• Investigate stock issues using our Warehouse Management System (GEAC) — including missing stock, negative balances, order errors and other anomalies.
• Produce key inventory reports on time and to a high standard.
• Manage Simba product processes, including inbound checks, investigations and reporting.

Your work will ensure the night operation stays on track and the day team starts every shift with the right information.

• Excellent communication across departments.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
• Able to work accurately under pressure and multitask effectively on a busy shift.
