PI Operative

**Shift Pattern Mon-Fri 04:00am-12:30pm**

More than stock counting. A role that keeps the operation moving.

At Bidfood, stock accuracy underpins everything we do. From warehouse efficiency to customer service, getting stock right makes the difference between a good day and a great one.

We’re looking for a  PI Operative to join our Stock Team, supporting the control, accuracy, and integrity of stock across a busy multi temperature foodservice depot.

This role goes far beyond counting locations. You’ll play a key part in maintaining depot standards, investigating issues, and ensuring products are in the right place, in the right condition, at the right time.

Why this role stands out

✔ Varied, skilled operational role
✔ Trusted position within the depot operation
✔ Mix of analytical and hands on warehouse work
✔ Opportunity to influence stock accuracy and layout standards
✔ Work closely with warehouse and transport teams

You’ll become one of the people the operation relies on when stock challenges need solving.

What you’ll be doing

• Completing perpetual inventory counts across all warehouse areas
• Investigating stock discrepancies and supporting root cause analysis
• Managing short dated and stock at risk products
• Supporting customer credit and stock investigation processes
• Maintaining accurate warehouse layout and location control
• Working at height using MEWP / scissor lift equipment (training provided)
• Supporting quarantine and compliance processes
• Ensuring products are correctly located, labelled, and scanned within systems
• Working closely with operational teams to prevent repeat stock issues

This is an active role combining warehouse experience, attention to detail, and problem solving within a fast paced environment.

What we’re looking for

✅ Experience within a warehouse or distribution environment
✅ Strong attention to detail and accuracy
✅ Comfortable working across ambient, chilled, and frozen environments
✅ Confidence working at height or willingness to be trained on MEWP equipment
✅ Good IT and system confidence
✅ Someone proactive who takes ownership rather than walks past problems

Previous stock control or PI experience is beneficial but attitude and reliability matter just as much.

The essentials

• 33 days holiday including bank holidays
• Pension scheme matched up to 6%
• Life assurance
• Health cash plan and wellbeing support
• Employee assistance programme including GP access
• High street discounts across retail, travel, and leisure

Want to be part of the team behind the scenes making everything work?

If you enjoy understanding how operations function, solving problems, and taking pride in accuracy and standards, this could be the role for you.
