Our client, located at "Ingleburn", is considered a global industry leader within the "Specialty Chemicals" sector. Making their presence felt more than ever in the Australian marketplace, they have invested in a dynamic sales force which is generating substantial business and as such has necessitated this role.

Reporting to the Supply Chain Manager, this position is required to provide support and to alleviate operational workflow that this manager has been carrying and can no longer sustain, without impact to the customer.

Being sought is an experienced operations professional with at least 3 years expertise in purchasing or procurement within a fast paced and complex environment. You will need to have proven exposure to overseas suppliers and be responsible for co-ordinating all imports with freight forwarding agents and customs brokers.

All candidates must have strong System skills with ERP/MRP, such as SAP/MFGPro, BPICS etc. You must have exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, supported by strong negotiation skills. You must be well presented and have the ability to engage people at all levels both internally and externally. Experience gained within the Chemical/Food/Pharmaceutical or Petro Chemical sectors would be a distinct advantage.

Exposure or direct experience with SAP will be considered a distinct advantage with an impending implementation on the horizon - but not critical. It is important that you understand this and embrace this challenge.

You need to be passionate about what you do and willing to work hard as part of a highly motivated and successful team. For strong performers you will be rewarded with the ability to build your career as the company continues to undergo strong growth. You may also be required to travel to engage with suppliers and be part of the global development teams for business improvement strategies.

This role will commence the probationary period of up to 6 months being paid by our business then transfer to the client directly. During this period you will accrue leave entitlements and public holidays etc. so you will not be disadvantaged. This is a legitimate full time position.

On offer to attract the highest calibre candidates is a negotiable hourly rate of around $27 - $30 p/hr in line with your skills and experience. Make a break and join this company and work in an environment which is down to earth, warm and friendly - a genuine and refreshing change to the norm.
