Australian Powerline Industries is looking for a Purchasing & Inventory Controller to take ownership of purchasing, stock management and supplier relationships.
This isn't a role for someone who simply raises purchase orders and waits for stock to arrive.
The best people in this role are curious. They want to understand the products, how they fit together, and what customers actually need. They build relationships with suppliers, solve problems before they become issues, and stay one step ahead.
You’ll be trusted to run your area, make decisions, and back your judgement.

You’re joining a stable Australian business with strong backing and long-term prospect.
What You’ll Do:
Keep stock levels accurate
Stay on top of aged and slow-moving stock
Raise purchase orders and follow up with suppliers
Track deliveries, chase ETAs, and resolve issues
Work closely with sales and warehouse teams to keep stock flowing
Support pricing, orders, and invoicing as needed
Assist customers via phone, email, and at the counter
What You’ll Bring:
Previous purchasing, inventory control or stock management experience
The curiosity to learn technical products and understand how they fit together
Strong attention to detail and commercial awareness
Confidence dealing directly with suppliers and internal stakeholders
The ability to work independently and make sound decisions
A calm, proactive approach to solving problems and prioritising your workload
A team-oriented attitude and willingness to help wherever needed
Full Australian working rights
What You’ll Get:
Uncapped profit share based on business performance
Job security with a national, well-backed business
A hands‑on role with real ownership
A practical, no‑fluff working setting
Support from a tight‑knit team
