• Compare supplier quotations and build total-cost-of-ownership models.

• Strong Excel and data‑analysis skills.
• Experience building cost models using incomplete or unstructured information.
• Understanding of the strategic‑sourcing process, including RFx events, quote comparison and supplier selection.
• Experience extracting and reconciling spend data from an ERP or procure‑to‑pay platform.
• Familiarity with systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Coupa or Ariba.

• MRO and facilities procurement
• Temporary labour or staffing‑agency spend
• VMS or MSP platforms
• Construction or industrial contracting
• Manufacturing, mining, energy or heavy industry
• Supplier rate cards and invoice auditing

Qualifications

A bachelor’s degree in supply chain, business, engineering or finance is preferred, although equivalent professional experience will also be considered.

Why Apply?

• Join a rapidly expanding advanced‑manufacturing environment.
• Gain exposure to several high‑value indirect procurement categories.
• Run complete sourcing events and contribute directly to supplier‑selection decisions.
• Work closely with construction, manufacturing, finance and operational leadership.
