About the Role:
Our Cairns head office is growing, and we're looking for a highly analytical and commercially minded Inventory Analyst to join our Supply Chain team. This role plays a critical part in ensuring we maintain the right stock levels, optimise inventory investment, and provide valuable data insights that support purchasing, sales, and operational decisions across the business. If you enjoy working with data, identifying trends, and driving smarter business decisions, this is an exciting opportunity to build your career in the renewable energy sector.
You'll be responsible for analysing inventory performance, forecasting demand, monitoring stock movements, and supporting purchasing strategies through accurate reporting and insights. Working closely with procurement, warehouse, and sales teams, you'll help ensure product availability while minimising excess stock and improving overall inventory efficiency. The role requires strong attention to detail, advanced Excel capability, and the ability to interpret data into clear and actionable recommendations.
This is a fast-paced and commercially focused role where your analysis will directly influence stock investment, supplier performance, profitability, and customer outcomes. You'll also contribute to process improvements, inventory planning, reporting dashboards, and forecasting models that support the continued growth of the business.
Our modern Cairns office environment offers a great balance of professionalism and personality. We work hard, lift each other up during busy periods and genuinely celebrate team wins. It's a friendly, close-knit workplace where your contribution will be recognised and valued.
AC Solar Warehouse is proudly 100% Australian and employee-owned. Our founder and Managing Director remains hands-on in the business and leads with a supportive, empowering and team-focused approach.
