Procurement and Supply Specialist

Love the puzzle of getting the right product to the right place at the right time? This is the role where that skill really counts.

As our Procurement & Supply Specialist, you'll sit right at the centre of procurement and inventory for Hynds Pipe Systems – the critical link between what our customers need and our ability to deliver it. It's a hands-on role: raising orders, keeping stock moving, chasing ETAs, solving supply hiccups and keeping our systems humming.

Reporting to the Procurement & Supply Team Leader, you'll work across vendor and product teams, inventory planning, operations, logistics, branches and suppliers – so strong relationships and a sharp eye for detail are everything.

What You'll Be Doing

• Placing accurate, well-timed purchase orders and keeping stock flowing to where it's needed
• Chasing ETAs, sorting supply hiccups and finding smart substitutes when items run short
• Managing inventory across locations – spotting trends, rebalancing stock and keeping systems accurate
• Working with overseas vendors on forecasting, logistics and supplier performance
• Keeping branches and customers in the loop, and pitching in on S&OP, stocktakes and reconciliations

What You'll Bring

• Experience in a purchasing/planning or supply management role
• Confidence with systems and data – you can pull together reports and spot the story in the numbers
• Exceptionally high attention to detail and the ability to juggle competing priorities
• Strong communication and a knack for building relationships with all sorts of people
• Sound judgement, discretion and commercial nous
• A collaborative, self-motivated, results-focused approach

What We Offer
