About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Ever found yourself gazing at a meticulously organized workshop, thinking, “Wow, someone’s got their act together”? If that’s you, this Storekeeper role with our bustling decoration company in Al Ain might just be the calling you’ve been waiting for. We’re on the lookout for someone who thrives on order, knows their way around a stockroom, and enjoys being at the heart of a team that turns creative visions into reality. If you believe there’s a place for everything and everything should be in its place, you’ll fit right in.
About the Company
We’re not just your average decoration company – we’re a creative collective with a passion for transforming spaces. Based in the heart of Al Ain, our team brings bold ideas to life, whether it’s for a glamorous event, a transformation of a local business, or a cozy home makeover. What sets us apart? Our people: we value open communication, a hands-on spirit, and the feeling that every team member’s input shapes our success. Fridays often mean coffee-fueled brainstorming and the occasional friendly debate over which color palette rules supreme.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Overseeing the day-to-day operations of our warehouse — from incoming deliveries to outgoing materials for projects.
- Monitoring stock levels, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks (and that those elusive curtain rods don’t vanish mysteriously).
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and well-organized storage environment. Safety first, chaos never.
- Preparing detailed inventory reports and sharing insights to help guide project planning and purchasing.
- Tracking material movements in and out of the facility using inventory management software (we’re digital, not dusty ledgers here).
- Regularly auditing stock and verifying shipments to keep surprises (and shortages) at bay.
- Coordinating with project teams and suppliers to make sure material needs are met without delays.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- At least 2 years spent wrangling warehouses or similar stock/inventory environments.
- Solid understanding of stock systems, inventory best practices, and material flow.
- Hands-on experience preparing inventory reports and tracking stock movement accurately.
- Proficiency with computer systems and inventory management software — if you’ve used specific platforms, let us know!
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in the decoration, events, or construction fields.
- Familiarity with barcoding, asset tagging, or mobile inventory apps.
- Strong English and Arabic communication skills.
- A knack for problem-solving and thinking on your feet.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Positive, close-knit team with a collaborative, helpful work culture.
- Opportunity to learn, grow, and take real ownership of your domain (your storeroom will be as legendary as our designs).
- Competitive salary, with performance reviews and incentives for great organization or creative solutions.
- Clean, safe workspace — and did we mention the coffee and snack stash doesn’t run out?
- Regular team celebrations for project launches, holidays, and milestones.
