  • Track order progress, follow up on delays, and ensure accurate documentation

  • Maintain procurement records and ensure adherence to contract terms

About You

You're highly organised, a confident communicator, and capable of managing competing priorities. You bring a strong understanding of procurement processes and enjoy working both independently and as part of a project team.

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Experience in procurement, supply chain or purchasing roles

  • Proficiency in SAP/Ariba and Microsoft Office Suite

  • Strong attention to detail and problem-solving ability

  • Experience on major projects or within capital works (advantageous)

  • A relevant degree in Business, Supply Chain, or Engineering is desirable but not essential

What's on Offer?

  • Flexible hours: 0.8-1.0 FTE considered

  • Opportunity to support a major regional project

  • Hybrid/WFH options available for the right candidate

This role is for an immediate start, so don't delay!
