Inventory Auditor – Costco – South London, ON

At Costco’s South London, Ontario warehouse, accuracy matters.

Reporting directly to the Warehouse Manager, you’ll be working across the warehouse floor, the steel, and receiving — physically counting merchandise, reviewing reports, and sending reconciled adjustments to the central office. It’s hands-on work that combines data entry, physical inventory counting, and analytical review on a daily basis.

About the Role: Inventory Auditor

The core of this position is identifying and correcting inventory discrepancies. You’ll audit the receiving summary report daily, review negative inventory counts weekly, and physically count merchandise throughout the warehouse — including specialty categories like cigarettes, jewellery, Major Sales, and tires on a periodic basis. Your findings go directly to the Warehouse Manager and the central office.

Beyond counting, you’ll be researching variances, reconciling book inventory vs. physical counts vs. stock status, auditing item signs for price and description accuracy, and attending Shrink Committee meetings to help address losses from damage, theft, or error. Providing courteous member service is also part of the role when interacting with shoppers on the floor.

Benefits and Salary

This position pays $21.00 per hour.
