  • Maintaining accurate supplier, product and purchasing information
  • Supporting project teams with urgent and specialist procurement needs
  • Identifying opportunities to improve costs and purchasing processes
  • Ensuring procurement activities align with project budgets and deadlines
  • Assisting with supplier reviews and contract administration

About You
To be successful, you will ideally offer:

  • Previous experience as a Purchasing Officer, Procurement Officer or Buyer
  • Experience within electrical contracting, construction, engineering, manufacturing or trades
  • Strong supplier-management and negotiation skills
  • Confidence reviewing quotations and commercial terms
  • Excellent organisation and attention to detail
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and urgent project requirements
  • Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills
  • Competence using purchasing, ERP and Microsoft Office systems
  • A practical, proactive and solutions-focused approach

Knowledge of electrical products, construction materials or project-based procurement would be highly regarded.

What’s on Offer

  • Permanent, full-time opportunity
  • Salary package of up to $110,000
  • South East Brisbane location
  • Join an established Australian-owned business with a strong national presence
  • Exposure to major projects across a diverse range of sectors
  • Collaborative and team-oriented working environment
  • Ongoing professional development and career progression
  • Stable business with a significant pipeline of current and upcoming work
