Storekeeper

MFF Limited operates a fleet of approximately 35 vessels (10–50m LOA) across the Mediterranean, supporting Atlantic bluefin tuna capture and aquaculture operations. We are looking for an organised, hands-on Storekeeper to run our stores, making sure the right parts, consumables and equipment are on the shelf, accounted for and ready when the fleet, the workshop and the purchasing team need them.

What You Will Do

The Storekeeper is responsible for receiving, storing, issuing and controlling all spares, consumables, tools and equipment held by the company. Working closely with the Marine Mechanical Engineer, Mechanics and Technicians, as well as the general workshop and the purchasing team, you will be the single point of control for everything that comes into and goes out of the stores. The role is based at the stores and workshop.

Key Responsibilities:

• Receive incoming goods: check deliveries against purchase orders and delivery notes for part number, quantity, condition and certification, and report any discrepancies or damage to purchasing.
• Store parts and materials safely and logically, with clear locations and labels, keeping engine spares, consumables, lubricants, chemicals and safety equipment properly separated.
• Issue spares, consumables and tools to vessels, mechanics and the workshop against work orders or requisitions, booking every movement to the correct vessel or cost centre.
• Create and keep the inventory system accurate and up to date (stock levels, locations and transactions) and linked to the planned maintenance system where applicable.
• Monitor the minimum and reorder levels set with the Marine Mechanical Engineer and raise timely replenishment requests to purchasing.
• Carry out regular cycle counts and periodic full stock takes; investigate and report any variances.
• Prepare, pack and label parts for dispatch to vessels, cages or overseas locations, and coordinate collection and delivery with crews and drivers.
• Prepare seasonal spares kits with the mechanics and engineers so vessels are stocked ahead of time.
• Control workshop tools and equipment: keep a tool issue and return log, track inspection and calibration dates for lifting gear and test equipment, and flag items needing repair or replacement.
• Support the purchasing team with stock figures, usage history and part details for quotations, ordering and budget tracking.
• Identify slow-moving, obsolete or surplus stock for transfer between vessels or disposal.
• Keep the stores clean, secure and compliant with health and safety requirements, including the handling of oils, chemicals and gas cylinders and correct waste separation.
• File delivery notes, goods received records, certificates of conformity and stock reports so they stay organised and audit-ready.

The ideal candidate will have a:

• Secondary-level education (MQF Level 3 or above); a qualification in logistics, supply chain or a mechanical trade is an advantage.
• At least 2 years' experience in a stores, warehouse or parts department, ideally in a marine, automotive, plant or engineering environment.
• Working knowledge of mechanical parts, fittings, fasteners, filters, lubricants and consumables, and the ability to read part numbers and technical descriptions accurately.
• Experience using an inventory, ERP or CMMS system, and good Microsoft Excel skills.
• Forklift certification, or willingness to obtain one.
• Full driving licence.

Skills and personal attributes

• Highly organised and methodical, with a careful eye for detail in part numbers, quantities and records.
• Trustworthy and accountable for company stock, tools and equipment.
• Proactive: anticipates what the fleet and workshop will need and spots shortages before they cause downtime.
• Calm under pressure and flexible during peak season, when vessels need parts at short notice.
• Clear, helpful communicator with crews, mechanics, engineers, purchasing staff and suppliers.
• Good spoken and written English; Maltese is an advantage.

What we offer:

• A central support role keeping a 35-vessel fleet and busy workshop supplied and running.

• Exposure to a wide range of marine engines, machinery and equipment.

• A clear path to grow into a stores supervisor or procurement role.

• Competitive salary and regional reach through the EBCON Group network.
