Job description

About Us:

Welcome to The Perth Mint, where golden career opportunities await.

The Perth Mint is an iconic Western Australian organisation operating on a truly global scale. Situated in East Perth for over 125 years, The Perth Mint is a premier tourist destination, an award-winning exporter, and a key supplier of precious metals to markets throughout the world.

There’s no organisation quite like it, with a variety of roles available, from engineers and chemists to artists and technicians.

Foster your fascination and pride in our work. Get inspired every day by the world-class precious metal products we work together to refine, design, produce and then distribute all over the globe. Connect to the rich history of our industry in a workplace firmly rooted in the present — as leaders in sustainability and inclusion.

At The Perth Mint, you’ll be supported in a diverse team where differences are celebrated and your well-being matters — striking the right work-life balance with compassionate team benefits. And if your career goals change, you’ll be empowered to change roles with training and internal mobility.

We value inclusion and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including First Nations people, people with disability, LGBTQI+ communities, culturally diverse groups, youth, and seniors. If you need accommodations, please contact [e-mail].

The Opportunity:

You’ll be stepping into a 12-month maximum term, full‑time role where you’ll be the go‑to person for all things procurement. Starting initially in East Perth to bring you up to speed with our processes and systems, you’ll soon transition to being dedicated at our Refinery site, supporting with major refinery projects and staying closely connected with the teams delivering the work.

No two days will look the same. You might be shaping a tender in the morning, reviewing supplier performance after lunch, and guiding a colleague through our procurement platform before the day is out. You will be partnering with Refinery stakeholders to develop and manage equipment, works, supply and service contracts from end to end - ensuring compliance, value, and smooth delivery.

This isn’t a box ticking role. It’s about building relationships, solving problems, and helping the business make smart, informed decisions. If you enjoy variety, collaboration, and being part of a fast-moving environment, you’ll feel right at home. An ASAP start is ideal.

About You:

You bring a calm, organised approach, and a solid foundation of experience - ideally a few years in procurement or contract management. You’re confident managing timelines, multi-tasking, and managing the occasional curveball. Experience with WA procurement rules or a government trading enterprise is a bonus, not a requirement.

A procurement qualification (or progress toward one) is great to have, but not essential.

Most importantly, you’re someone who shows up with a positive attitude, a willingness to collaborate, and a genuine commitment to helping the business succeed.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to have you on the team.

Our Benefits:

• Flexible work including purchased leave and leave at half pay
• Training and development opportunities
• Competitive salaries and employee discounts
• Charity and volunteer initiatives
• Health and wellness programs, including an Employee Assistance Program
• Salary sacrifice – superannuation contributions.

Competitive salary of $135,200 base, plus Super!

12-month contract with flexible hours.
