- Supply Chain & Logistics Lead Time Tracking: Monitor critical path material items (e.g., structural steel, facade systems, mechanical plant) to eliminate site delays.
- Vendor & Cost Management: Review progress claims, track project spend against budgets, evaluate supplier scorecards, and resolve invoice variances.
What We Are Looking For
- Experience: 3+ years in procurement, purchasing, or contract administration specifically within commercial construction in Australia.
- Construction Knowledge: Solid understanding of construction materials, trade scopes (structural, fit-out, MEP), reading architectural/engineering drawings, and head contract/subcontract structures.
- Negotiation Skills: Strong commercial instinct with a proven track record of securing favorable payment terms and value engineering.
- Software Proficiency: Experience with construction management software (e.g., Procore, Jobpac, CHEOPS, SAP, or MS Excel for complex cost tracking).
- Education: Degree or Diploma in Construction Management, Supply Chain/Logistics, Business, or Quantity Surveying (CIPS or equivalent certification is a bonus).
