Job Overview
Fedics is currently looking for a Storeman to join its Tsebo Catering division in Johannesburg. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the receipt, storage, issuing, control and availability of food, beverage, resale and other stock used within the operation.
The main purpose of the position is to ensure that all deliveries are received correctly and that stock ordered by the business is present, accounted for and in acceptable condition. The Storeman will need to check deliveries for damage, verify quantities, maintain accurate stock records and ensure that products are stored correctly.
This is a practical and administrative stock-control position that requires strong organisation, attention to detail and the ability to work accurately on a daily basis. The successful candidate will work with various storage areas, including fridges, freezers, dry stores and chemical stores.
The role also involves stock costing, stock takes, invoice administration, stock rotation, wastage management, hygiene and maintaining good relationships with suppliers and clients.
About Fedics and Tsebo Solutions Group
Fedics forms part of Tsebo Solutions Group, which is described as a leading African Integrated Workplace Management Solutions Provider. Tsebo provides services across areas such as catering, facilities management, cleaning and hygiene, pest control, protection, energy, procurement, workspace design, engineering and remote camps.
The organisation places importance on developing its people and ensuring that employees understand and respond to client needs.
For this position, the Storeman will play an important supporting role in the catering operation by ensuring that the correct products are available, properly stored and adequately controlled.
Main Responsibilities
Receiving Stock and Deliveries
One of the most important responsibilities is receiving stock from suppliers.
The Storeman must:
- Receive deliveries according to Fedics policies and procedures.
- Check that delivered products are not damaged.
- Confirm that everything ordered has been delivered.
- Ensure that received stock is properly accounted for.
- Report product-quality concerns.
- Maintain appropriate documentation relating to stock received.
Accuracy when receiving stock is important because errors at this stage can affect stock levels, costing and the operation’s ability to provide meals and services.
Ordering Food and Beverage Items
The Storeman will administer the ordering of food, resale and beverage items.
This requires the employee to monitor stock levels and plan ahead to ensure that the operation has sufficient stock available.
The Storeman must also plan for consecutive days and report when stock is unavailable.
Stock Issuing
The position involves issuing stock from different storage areas, including:
- Fridges
- Freezers
- Dry stores
- Chemical stores
Stock must be issued according to company specifications, including the required portion sizes or quantities and specified issuing times.
This requires good attention to detail and an understanding of stock-control procedures.
Stock Costing
The Storeman will be responsible for ensuring that the costing of stock, meals and functions is completed daily, accurately and on time.
Candidates with proven costing experience and stock-control or storekeeping experience will have an advantage.
This aspect of the position means basic numerical ability and computer literacy are important.
Invoice Administration
The Storeman must receive all invoices daily on Tsebo Retail.
Accurate invoice handling is important for maintaining proper records of goods received and supporting the organisation’s stock and financial-control processes.
Stock Takes
Weekly stock takes are required.
The Storeman will need to participate in or conduct stock-counting activities to ensure that physical stock levels correspond with the relevant records.
Attention to detail is particularly important during stock takes.
Storage and Organisation
The Storeman must ensure that all storerooms, fridges and freezers are properly maintained.
Responsibilities include:
- Keeping storage areas clean.
- Ensuring products are stacked correctly.
- Making sure products are date marked correctly.
- Maintaining appropriate stock rotation.
- Protecting products and equipment.
- Ensuring stock is stored safely.
- Keeping chemical storage areas according to company requirements.
Proper organisation helps prevent product damage, wastage and stock losses.
Stock Rotation and Wastage
The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring that stock rotation is in place.
Products should be managed appropriately so that older stock is used correctly and unnecessary wastage is reduced.
The Storeman will also be responsible for managing wastage and leftovers and reporting on product quality.
This requires the employee to regularly monitor stock and identify products that may be damaged, expired, unsuitable or otherwise require attention.
Hygiene and Food Safety
Maintaining high-quality hygiene standards is an important part of the position.
The Storeman must ensure that storage areas and equipment are kept clean and that products are handled and stored appropriately.
Because the position deals heavily with food and beverages, good food and beverage knowledge is listed as one of the desired competencies.
Supplier and Client Relationships
The Storeman will interact with suppliers and clients and is expected to build and maintain professional relationships.
Good communication and customer-service skills are therefore required.
The employee may also be expected to report customer complaints and compliments and, where possible, take appropriate action regarding concerns.
Professional communication is important when dealing with both internal and external stakeholders.
Teamwork and Operational Support
The Storeman will operate as part of a team and needs good interpersonal skills.
The employee may also be required to:
- Provide proper handovers when necessary.
- Relieve in other local units from time to time.
- Assist with reasonable requests from management.
- Assist with duties outside the normal scope of responsibility when required.
- Work according to set store times.
The ability to multitask and coordinate several responsibilities is therefore important.
Minimum Requirements
Applicants should have:
- Matric / Grade 12.
- At least 2 years’ working experience.
- Computer literacy.
- Good verbal and written communication skills.
- Strong client and customer-service skills.
- Good food and beverage knowledge.
- Ability to work as part of a team.
- Good attention to detail.
- Ability to coordinate multiple tasks.
- A positive, punctual and professional approach.
Advantageous Experience
The following would strengthen an application:
- Proven costing experience.
- Stock-control experience.
- Storekeeping experience.
- Experience working with Tsebo Retail.
- A healthcare background.
The advert specifically states that proven costing and stock-control/storekeeping experience is advantageous rather than an absolute requirement.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate should be organised, reliable and comfortable working with stock and inventory on a daily basis.
They should be able to work accurately while handling multiple responsibilities, from receiving deliveries and issuing stock to completing stock takes, processing invoices and monitoring product availability.
A strong candidate should also understand the importance of keeping food storage areas clean and organised and should be comfortable following established company procedures.
Good communication is equally important because the Storeman will interact with suppliers, clients, colleagues and management.
Physical and Practical Nature of the Role
Although the advert does not provide specific lifting limits or physical requirements, the Storeman position is a practical stock-management role involving deliveries, storage areas, fridges, freezers, dry stores and the movement and issuing of products.
Applicants should therefore be comfortable working in an active operational environment rather than expecting a purely office-based position.
Career-Relevant Skills
This position can provide or strengthen experience in:
- Stock control
- Inventory management
- Receiving and checking deliveries
- Food and beverage operations
- Stock costing
- Invoice administration
- Stock rotation
- Wastage management
- Supplier communication
- Customer service
