About the role

Like working out why something happened, not just reporting that it did? This could be your next move.

Ever wondered what it takes to keep thousands of much-loved garden products moving off the line and into Aussie and Kiwi backyards? As our Purchasing & Material Planner at Mt Druitt, one of the largest and most complex manufacturing sites in the Yates Group, you'll use data and sharp thinking to make sure production never misses a beat.

You don't need a supply chain background for this role. If you're an analyst in finance, commercial, business or data, and you'd like to see your numbers drive real-world outcomes, we'll teach you the supply chain side. What matters most is your analytical mind, your curiosity and your instinct to ask "is there a better way?"

Working hand in hand with our Production Planner, you'll turn the production plan into action. You'll dig into the data to spot missing components before they become problems, raise purchase orders at the right time and keep raw materials, packaging and third-party bulk flowing to the site.

This role isn't just about keeping things ticking over. We want you to question how we do things, find patterns others miss and help shape a smarter, more efficient supply chain.

You also won't sit behind a screen all day. You'll work with people right across the site, building strong relationships, solving problems together and turning your insights into action.
