Procurement & Operations Coordinator – Stone & Tile Materials
About Australasian Stone
Australasian Stone is a leading supplier of premium natural stone, porcelain and tile products, servicing residential and commercial projects across Australia. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional quality, reliable service and maintaining strong relationships with our suppliers, customers and project partners.
As our business continues to grow, we're looking for someone who is more than just a Procurement Officer. We're looking for a proactive, highly organised professional who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and ensuring the business runs efficiently every day.
About the Role
This is a pivotal role within our business, reporting directly to the Director.
While procurement and inventory management are key responsibilities, this position is equally focused on supporting the day-to-day operations of the business. You'll become a trusted right hand to the Director—someone who keeps priorities moving, follows through on commitments and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.
The ideal candidate enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, can confidently manage multiple priorities and is always thinking one step ahead.
Key Responsibilities
Procure natural stone, porcelain, ceramic tiles and associated materials.
Monitor inventory levels and maintain optimal stock across all product lines.
Forecast stock requirements based on sales trends, project schedules and customer demand.
Raise and manage purchase orders with local and international suppliers.
Coordinate deliveries and monitor lead times to ensure materials arrive when required.
Negotiate pricing, freight, lead times and supply agreements.
Monitor supplier performance and maintain strong supplier relationships.
Conduct regular stock reviews and assist with stocktakes.
Maintain accurate purchasing records within the ERP/inventory management system.
Identify purchasing efficiencies and opportunities to reduce costs while maintaining quality.
Operations Support
Work closely with the Director to manage operational priorities and daily business activities.
Coordinate communication between suppliers, warehouse staff, sales teams and project stakeholders.
Track outstanding actions and ensure commitments are completed on time.
Anticipate potential supply or operational issues and proactively implement solutions.
Assist in improving business systems, processes and workflows.
Support the coordination of projects to ensure materials are available when required.
Prepare reports, purchasing summaries and inventory analysis for management.
Take ownership of administrative and operational tasks that support the smooth running of the business.
About You
Previous experience in procurement, purchasing, inventory control or supply chain.
Experience within the stone, tile, construction or building materials industry (highly regarded).
Excellent organisational and time management skills.
Strong negotiation and communication skills.
High attention to detail.
Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and experience using ERP or inventory systems.
The ability to prioritise multiple tasks in a fast-moving environment.
Confidence working independently while collaborating across multiple departments.
The Person We're Looking For
Takes ownership rather than waiting to be asked.
Sees problems before they become urgent.
Is calm under pressure and adapts quickly.
Thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment.
Follows through on every commitment.
Builds strong relationships with suppliers and colleagues.
Is commercially minded and always looking for better ways of working.
Is highly reliable, trustworthy and accountable.
Enjoys creating structure and keeping things organised.
What We Offer
Competitive salary based on experience.
Chance to work alongside an experienced business owner in a growing company.
A varied role with genuine responsibility and autonomy.
Supportive and collaborative team environment.
Opportunities to contribute to the ongoing growth and improvement of the business.
