We are seeking an organized, analytical, and process-driven Buyer II for a 3-month temporary assignment with potential for extension. Supporting a high-energy team in an advanced manufacturing and engineering environment, this role focuses on streamlining order workflows, clearing operational backlogs, and keeping schedules moving smoothly. If you have sharp Excel skills, a proactive mindset, and love using data to solve practical problems and improve day-to-day operations, this is a great hands-on opportunity to make an immediate impact.

• Relevant Experience: 3+ years in procurement support, supply chain analysis, operations coordination, or project support (exposure to manufacturing or technical environments is a plus).
• Strong Excel Skills: Proficiency in MS Excel (data tracking, reporting, formatting) combined with a logical, analytical approach to problem-solving.
• Proactive & Solution-Oriented: A self-starter who takes initiative, follows up persistently, and naturally looks for ways to improve workflows.
• Detail-Driven: High level of accuracy and meticulous organizational skills when handling high volumes of data.
• Background: A qualification or background in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Operations, or Business Administration is highly regarded.

Benefits

• Innovative Environment: Gain valuable experience working alongside a collaborative, high-performing team in a cutting-edge industry.
• Direct Impact: Play a key role in clearing operational friction and directly improving team efficiency.
• Convenience: Free on-site parking and easy access to public transport at our Mt Wellington site.
