Purchasing Officer - Redbank | Manufacturing & Defence Industry (Full-Time)
Our client is a manufacturing business based in Redbank, supporting production, engineering and maintenance operations across the Quantum-Systems group. They're looking for a Purchasing Officer to keep materials, components and services flowing on time and on budget. This is a hands‐on purchasing role, not a desk‐bound admin job. You'll be raising and expediting purchase orders, chasing suppliers, resolving pricing and delivery issues, and making sure the ERP system reflects reality. If production is waiting on a part, you're the one making sure it turns up.
What you'll be doing
Processing approved requisitions and raising purchase orders accurately and on time
Getting quotes, comparing pricing, lead times and availability
Expediting orders and following up suppliers to avoid production delays
Sorting out pricing discrepancies, shortages, damaged goods and delivery issues
Building solid working relationships with approved suppliers, including onboarding recent ones
Keeping purchasing records and supplier documentation accurate in the ERP system




Supporting Finance with invoice matching and payment queries
Looking for ways to cut purchasing costs and improve the process along the way
What you'll bring
2-4 years' experience in purchasing, buying or supply chain, ideally in manufacturing, defence, aerospace or engineering
Solid experience with ERP/MRP systems
Comfortable juggling multiple purchase orders and shifting priorities without dropping the ball
Strong attention to detail and organisation
Good written and verbal communication
Confident with Microsoft Office
Nice to have
Cert IV or Diploma in Procurement, Supply Chain, Logistics or Business
Experience in an ISO**** environment
Exposure to a Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) environment
A few practical notes
This role is based in a warehouse/manufacturing workplace, so there's some standing, lifting (up to 10kg), and PPE involved alongside the desk work. Given the defence‐related work, you'll need to hold or be eligible to obtain an appropriate Australian Government security clearance, and a National Police Check is required.
