STOCK CONTROLLER – Fair Price Supermarket Pte Limited

Most employers in Fiji require a high school certificate or Form 7 pass as a minimum. A certificate or diploma in warehouse management, logistics, or business studies from FNU or USP gives you a strong advantage. Computer literacy, especially in MS Excel and inventory software, is essential.

You will monitor stock levels, coordinate deliveries with suppliers, and ensure accurate record-keeping of all inventory movements. Daily tasks include conducting stock counts, identifying discrepancies, and reporting to management. You also work closely with purchasing and sales teams to prevent overstocking or stockouts.

Fijian retail workplaces value respect for hierarchy, teamwork, and strong customer service ethics. Punctuality and reliability are highly regarded, and many supermarkets operate six days a week with rotating shifts. Building good relationships with colleagues and suppliers is important for success.

Benefits vary by employer but typically include annual leave, sick leave, and public holidays as mandated by Fiji labour law. Larger retail chains may offer medical aid, staff discounts, and FNPF contributions. Some employers also provide uniform allowances and meal provisions.

With experience, you can advance to Warehouse Supervisor, Inventory Manager, or Operations Manager roles. Further studies in supply chain management or logistics can open doors to regional or corporate positions. Many senior retail managers in Fiji started in stock control or similar operational roles.

Submit a clear CV highlighting any inventory, retail, or administrative experience, along with a cover letter. Employers value honesty, attention to detail, and references from previous supervisors. Be prepared for practical assessments such as basic numeracy tests or mock stock reconciliation exercises during interviews.
