We are seeking an accomplished Procurement Manager to spearhead the development of our procurement function from scratch.
Job Description
This is a rare opportunity for a seasoned professional to shape and lead the procurement strategy, driving commercial discipline, building supplier relationships, and influencing project success across our operations.
You will own procurement strategy, supplier relationships, compliance, and cost control across the business. With a Storeman already in place on site and support from Legal and Engineering, this role will suit someone ready to be hands-on and influential.

* Manage purchase order execution and logistics.
* Coordinate with Operations, Engineering, and Finance to meet project timelines.
* Contribute to commercial decision-making and cost control across capital and operational spend.
* Monitor compliance, pricing trends, and procurement risks.
Requirements
* Procurement experience in a mining, resources, oil & gas, or project-based environment.
* Strong commercial and contract negotiation skills.
* Able to work independently and influence others across the business.
* Comfortable in a small-team environment and willing to build things from the ground up.
* Strong analytical mindset with attention to risk and value-for-money outcomes.
What We Offer
This is a rare opportunity to build a greenfield procurement function in a business that's just getting started — with the backing and leadership support to make it work.
You'll be part of a tight-knit, committed team that values initiative, trust, and transparency.
About the Role
The successful candidate will have the autonomy to shape the procurement function and drive commercial outcomes.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic organisation and contribute to its growth and success.
