About the role:
My client is a major supplier to the building industry in WA, servicing everyone from large scale commercial clients to “mum and dad” renovators. As a big player over an extended period, it is natural their business has grown in line with the WA building market. This growth, although positive for business has of course been followed by some common “growing pains”… now it’s time to fix them!

Their main business, located in Bayswater, has gradually expanded into surrounding work sheds, a situation which over time has caused numerous workflow deficiencies. Additionally, there are several processes which require a digitally focused makeover – including inventory management, ordering and receipting, naming conventions, and stock labelling.

The ideal applicant will have the capacity to quickly assess and understand the current situation, develop a comprehensive plan of action with respect to key deliverables, and project manage the execution of the plan. Additionally, they will look to own the process of change and associated outcomes, providing reports on progress and a final handover package encompassing SOP’s, diagrams, and future methods of scaling.

The complete job will encompass:

• Layout and Space Utilisation – Optimising site layout and storage / racking options
• Workflow Redesign – Update current processes to be more efficient, reduce double handling, delays, manual errors
• Inventory and Location Mapping – Develop structured location mapping across the site, improve stock visibility
• Technology – Support rollout of framework system for stock control and scanning
• QA / Compliance – Implement key QA checkpoints, assess storage compliance
