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)
