Inventory Controller (Bestandskontrolleur)

What you will do (in practical terms)

Inventory Controllers protect stock integrity. You verify quantities and locations, investigate discrepancies, document root causes, and help the site keep a stable “single source of truth” in the WMS.

What “good” looks like

• High inventory accuracy, low recount rate, traceable adjustments, and clean variance documentation.
• Confident use of RF scanners and WMS transactions (move, count, adjustment request, status checks).
• Basic Excel for reporting: filters, pivot tables, reconciliation lists, and exception tracking.

Short candidate portrait

You are detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and comfortable challenging “almost correct” stock results. You communicate clearly, keep records, and prefer process discipline over improvisation.

Requirements (detailed)

• CV in English (PDF preferred) with real project or warehouse experience—mandatory for screening.
• Experience with inventory tasks: cycle counts, recounts, bin audits, discrepancy resolution (even if partial).
• WMS/RF scanning discipline: you understand that “not scanned” means “not done”.
• Basic Excel skills for lists and exceptions; you can work with item/location tables.
• Physical readiness: walking/standing, moving within zones, occasional handling of cartons/pallet labels.
• German A1–A2 is a strong advantage for safety briefings and site signage (not always mandatory).

Pay baseline (gross)

All rates on this page are stated as gross. We do not offer below the statutory minimum wage in Germany: €13.90 gross/hour from 01 January 2026. Actual project rates depend on site, shift model, and verified experience.

Working with a Polish employer on a German project

Many assignments are coordinated by a Polish company and performed on sites in Germany. The operational goal is simple: stable onboarding, clear rules, and predictable reporting—so your work is verifiable and compliant.

• English-speaking onboarding and day-one process briefing (scanning rules, zones, escalation routes).
• Shift model depends on the site (day/evening/night where applicable); break rules follow site procedures.
• Workwear/PPE requirements are communicated before start; safety rules are non-negotiable.
• Attendance and scan discipline are tracked; repeated “off-system” actions typically lead to removal from the project.
• Accommodation/transport options may exist depending on the project; availability and terms are confirmed individually.

We focus on operational transparency: written task scope, clear reporting line, and documented inventory actions. This reduces disputes, improves payroll accuracy, and protects your work record.

Reality check: Germany requires a legal route

Language is not the only factor. For non-EU candidates, eligibility depends on the correct residence/work pathway and document verification. Skilled profiles typically have more realistic options than entry-level warehouse roles.

• Skilled worker route (§18a / §18b): relevant if your qualification can be recognized and matches the job profile.
• Other regulated pathways: depend on nationality, sector, employer setup, and current administrative practice.
• Entry-level reality: purely “no-skill” profiles are harder to place legally and sustainably.

If you also need clarity on Polish-side employment formalities and permits, use this internal information page: https://mavial.pl/zezwolenie.html

This is general information and not legal advice. Final eligibility depends on your nationality, documents, employer requirements, and authorities.

Prepare these before applying

• CV in English (PDF) + current phone/email
• Passport scan + current location (country/city)
• Inventory-related proof (references, certificates, internal training logs) if available
• Short project summary: site type, dates, WMS/RF tools, count methods used
• Any equipment licenses (only if you will also operate MHE on site)

Strong documentation reduces verification time and improves response rates.
