Procurement Officer | Northern Rivers NSW | Open to Relocation | Term Contract to June ****
Casino, NSW - Northern Rivers Region
Thinking about a change of scenery? Osborne Richardson is assisting our fantastic client, a local Council in the Northern Rivers region of NSW, to find a Procurement Officer to join their Fleet and Procurement team. This is a full time term contract through to June **** (70 hour fortnight), based in Casino - with the coast at Evans Head and the Outstanding Dividing Range foothills both nearby.
Open to relocating?
We're happy to have a conversation with candidates considering a move to the region. The client is open to discussing an adjusted hourly rate to help support relocation costs, and we can also assist with guidance around the practical side of getting there. Nothing is set in stone - we'd rather have a proper chat about what would make a move work for you.
