Procurement and Purchasing Officer

Managing daily purchasing operations with a focus on local suppliers & proactive backorder control to ensure correct products reach customers on time

Step into a role where accuracy, initiative, and problem-solving make all the difference.
We're looking for a Junior Procurement Officer to join a busy team and keep the purchasing function running like clockwork. In this role, you'll be the go-to person for managing daily purchase orders-particularly from a local supplier base-while keeping backorders under control to protect the customer experience.

You'll be working for a Melbourne-based supplier founded in 1985, now operating nationwide with offices and distribution centres across Australia-offering over 13,000 products in plumbing, HVAC, fire services, and electrical solutions.

What You'll Do

  • Raise and process daily purchase orders, primarily from local suppliers.

  • Monitor and manage backorders proactively to avoid delays or stockouts.

  • Coordinate closely with Sales, Customer Service, and Warehouse teams to anticipate needs and resolve issues quickly.

  • Raise works orders for our onsite fabrication workshop.

  • Assist with interstate stock transfers when required.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • 2-3 years' experience in purchasing, procurement support, or supply chain-related role.

  • Strong MS Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, filtering, formatting).

  • Experience with ERP or inventory management systems.

  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail.

  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.

  • Naturally proactive with a strong sense of ownership and follow-through.

  • Familiarity with Netstock or MYOB CRM or similar.

About You

You're someone who sees a potential issue before it becomes a problem-and acts on it. You pride yourself on delivering work to a high standard, without needing the spotlight. You're dependable, solutions-focused, and driven to keep things running smoothly for both internal teams and customers.
