Job description

Burwell Technologies Sydney Head Office - Revesby

Your New Company

Burwell Technologiesis a leading manufacturer and distributor of abrasives and surface preparation equipment. At Burwell, we take a long-term view of our products. We believe we have a responsibility to our customers and to the broader environment to make and distribute only high-quality products that last. This is good for the customer, as well as for the environment. By increasing product durability, we all take less, produce less and ultimately waste less.

Each product stamped BURWELL represents quality. From what we source, to how we build. From our functional design to our superb craftsmanship. Our products are designed to last. We stand by our product and would rather you repair your BURWELL product than replace it. We believe in our products and our people. As a family business, we believe in a friendly environment. We are a team. We support each other.

About The Role

Supply Chain Coordinator/ FT - Monday to Friday, 8:00am-4:00pm

In this role, you will be pivotal in supporting our accounts and shipping team, with a key focus on managing and supporting the import requirements of the business. Under the guidance of our Senior Supply Chain Coordinator, you will be trained across the processes and responsibilities required to effectively coordinate our supply chain and import operations.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a supportive team environment, is organised and detail-oriented, and is looking to develop their skills and knowledge within supply chain and import operations. This role will directly report to our CFO.

This is a full-time office-based role, but we are happy to review this once training is completed.

Responsibilities

• Working with our Operations Manager to ensure overseas orders are planned, placed and meet schedules.
• Working with our Senior Supply Chain Coordinator to quote, book and negotiate freight
• Assist with supply negotiations
• We are a team that support each other. This role will also be trained in the accounts payable function. This allows for leave coverage and to keep things interesting.
• Answer incoming calls as required.
• Assisting the broader business with new supplier onboarding, including estimating freight costs and the impact of payment terms.
• Keeping our branch network informed of expected arrival dates
• Other duties as directed by CFO

What You'll Need To Succeed

• 12 months experience in purchasing, procurement or supply chain
• Our Senior Supply Chain coordinator has over 14 years of experience, so as long as you have some understanding and a good attitude, you'll be learning from the best and will be a success.
• Strong communication, problem solving and time management skills.
• You have a positive attitude. You are approachable, you bring good energy to everything you do and you are keen to contribute to improving the business processes.
• You have sound knowledge of Excel, Microsoft office and an ERP system
• We give you the training, but it helps if you understand how landed cost works, how to book foreign exchange deals and how to receipt goods. Just saying.
• Ability to work unsupervised.
• The ability to work within a team with a positive approach to challenges.
• Knowledge of the industry would be advantageous.
• If you have drive and a willingness to learn, then we are happy to train the right candidate.

As a little something extra, Burwell offer an extra day of leave for you. We call it our thank you day for staff.

As you get to know our products and company, there may be opportunities for other roles which interest you within Burwell. We encourage all staff to apply to progress their passions.
