Job Opportunity: Engineering Stores & Obsolescence Specialist
Location: Fermoy, Co. Cork
Contract: 12-Month Contract (with potential for permanency)
Salary: €35,000 - €45,000 (depending on experience)
Are you an experienced Engineering Stores / MRO Specialist with a strong background in engineering storerooms and obsolescence management? Do you have a deep understanding of MRO parts, vendor engagement, and sourcing strategies? This role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a highly regulated cGMP environment within the manufacturing sector.
About the Role
This position is not a standard stores technician role. It requires technical expertise in identifying engineering parts, understanding their function, and managing obsolescence risks to ensure continued operational efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and update registers of obsolete and at-risk parts.
- Engage with OEM and OCM suppliers to identify sourcing options and alternative solutions for obsolete parts.
- Analyse specifications and identify critical aspects of spare parts.
- Provide engineering teams with specification packs for alternative parts and assess required modifications.
- Obtain quotations for remaining stock of obsolete parts for potential stockpiling.
- Collaborate with site teams to ensure compliance with cGMP and regulatory standards.
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of experience in an inventory or MRO-related position.
- Experience in a pharmaceutical, manufacturing, or engineering environment is highly desirable.
- Strong knowledge of engineering parts and their applications.
- Ability to manage vendor relationships remotely and source parts effectively.
- Analytical problem-solving skills and the ability to react to change.
- Systems experience with SAP, Ariba, or Maximo is a plus.
- Strong organisation skills and the ability to handle engineering queries efficiently.
- Access to own transport is essential, as public transport is not available for this location.
Why Apply?
- Competitive salary based on experience (€35k-€45k).
- Opportunity to work in a dynamic, highly regulated environment.
- Potential for permanent employment following the initial 12-month contract.
- A chance to apply technical expertise in MRO, obsolescence management, and engineering parts sourcing.
