About the Role
Reporting to the Supply Chain Manager, the Warehouse Assistant is a foundational, hands-on role responsible for bringing structure, accuracy and reliability to Urban Rest's Sydney warehouse. Today our warehouse operates without scalable processes. Stock leaves the building without being recorded, vehicles are not stock-controlled, and warehouse tasks are absorbed informally by housekeeping and operations team members between property jobs. This role exists to change that. You will work closely with the Supply Chain Manager to design, implement and continuously improve the standard operating procedures, layout standards and inventory practices the warehouse currently lacks, and then take ownership of running them day to day. This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys building structure from scratch, takes pride in an organised and accurate warehouse, and wants genuine ownership of a function as it grows. As Urban Rest scales, this role is expected to scale with it.
Responsibilities
Process & SOP Ownership
Partner with the Supply Chain Manager to design and document warehouse SOPs from the ground up, covering receiving, put-away, cycle counts, van restocking, returns, and damaged stock handling, where none currently exist
Own day-to-day adherence to SOPs once established, and proactively identify gaps or improvements as volume and complexity grow
Support the design and upkeep of warehouse layout standards, storage zoning and signage systems
Act as the on-the-ground source of truth on warehouse operations,



feeding practical insights back to the Supply Chain Manager to inform ongoing process refinement
Help onboard and train future warehouse team members on documented SOPs as the function grows
Warehouse Operations

Ensure all products are stored safely and efficiently, using manual handling equipment such as trolleys and pallet jacks for heavier or bulkier items
Complete a scheduled weekly deep clean and reset of the warehouse
Inventory Management
Maintain accurate inventory records within the InFlow Inventory Management System

Ensure equipment is in good working order and any test and tag requirements are met
Ensure the warehouse is secured at the end of each shift
What We Look For
Must have:
Experience in a warehouse, distribution or logistics environment
