Job description
  • Two contract opportunities supporting a major Queensland mining operation.
  • Newly scoped roles addressing a procurement backlog following an acquisition
  • Immediate start

Our client is a privately held, Brisbane headquartered resources and industrial business with a significant portfolio spanning mining, manufacturing and critical minerals.

Following the recent acquisition of a major Queensland mining and processing operation, the business is entering an exciting period of transformation, supported by substantial long term investment and a clear growth strategy.

As part of this growth, we are recruiting for two contract positions within the procurement function:

  • Procurement Specialist | Initial 6 month contract

  • Procurement Administrator | Initial 12 month contract

Both positions will play an important role in supporting the procurement function through a period of significant change and increased activity.

Procurement Specialist | Initial 6 Month Contract

This is a hands on procurement role with responsibility for driving sourcing and negotiation activity across the business.

You will take ownership of the full RFQ/RFP process from end to end, working across suppliers and stakeholders to source, evaluate and negotiate commercial outcomes.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing RFQ/RFP processes from initial sourcing through to supplier selection and award

  • Sourcing and evaluating suppliers across raw materials, MRO, capital equipment and logistics/services

  • Leading commercial negotiations and finalising supply and service agreements

  • Working closely with internal stakeholders and suppliers to deliver procurement outcomes

  • Helping to clear an existing procurement backlog and improve purchasing activity

  • Managing multiple priorities in a fast paced environment while maintaining commercial rigour

About you:

  • Proven procurement or purchasing experience within mining, resources or heavy industry

  • Hands on experience managing RFQ/RFP processes and supplier negotiations

  • Strong commercial and stakeholder management skills

  • Ability to work autonomously and hit the ground running

  • Tertiary qualifications in supply chain, business or a related discipline will be highly regarded

Procurement Administrator | Initial 12 Month Contract

This role will provide essential administrative and coordination support to the procurement team, helping ensure purchasing activity is processed accurately and efficiently.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Raising, processing and tracking purchase orders

  • Maintaining accurate supplier records and procurement documentation

  • Supporting RFQ/RFP administration and coordination

  • Liaising with suppliers regarding order confirmations and delivery timelines

  • Following up invoice queries and resolving purchasing administration issues

  • Supporting the wider procurement team with day to day coordination and administration

About you:

  • Previous experience in procurement, purchasing, supply chain or similar administration

  • Strong attention to detail and organisational skills

  • Confident working with procurement or ERP systems

  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills

  • Clear communication skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities

  • A proactive approach and willingness to support a busy procurement function

What's on Offer

  • Join a growing resources and industrial business during a significant period of transformation

  • Gain direct exposure to a major Queensland mining and processing operation

  • Work closely with the Head of Procurement

  • Be part of a procurement function supporting substantial long term investment

  • Genuine potential for both contracts to extend beyond the initial term

  • Immediate start opportunities across both positions

Both roles are open now. If either opportunity sounds like the right fit, we would love to hear from you.

Please apply now, noting which position you are interested in, or contact Mia Newbold at mian@ogroup.com.au for a confidential discussion.
