Elephants Foot is a vertically integrated group of companies providing waste management system solutions to clients across Australia. We are an industry leader in waste consultancy, chute system design and installation, and operational waste handling and management across all sectors. Our vision is to be the world’s most trusted provider of innovative waste management systems, driving a cleaner and more sustainable future.

This is a hands-on role split between the desk and the warehouse floor. You'll handle day-to-day purchasing and logistics from behind the desk, and you'll be out on the forklift managing warehouse movements, receiving and dispatch. You'll take every order from purchase through to delivered and closed, and you'll own it.

What you'll do

- Handle day-to-day purchasing: raise purchase orders, chase supplier lead times, match supplier invoices and make sure every order carries an accurate cost

- Manage logistics end to end: book and cost freight, coordinate inbound and outbound deliveries, confirm delivery dates and manage local runs

- Run the warehouse: receive / dispatch stock, and keep the warehouse organised to the standard set by management

- Manage all warehouse movements, including put-away, transfers between locations and staging equipment and parts for jobs and installations

- Operate the forklift daily for loading, unloading and moving stock

- Keep inventory records accurate in our system, run cycle counts and perform quarterly stocktakes

- Communicate effectively with existing and current suppliers, sourcing the most cost-effective option for the business





- Weekly tasks:

- Manage inventory levels and flag stock for reorder

- Manage all necessary delivery materials

- Liaise with the sales and project teams on upcoming requirements, high stock levels and slow movers

What you'll bring

- Current forklift licence (essential)

- Purchasing or procurement experience: raising POs, chasing suppliers, keeping dates honest

- Warehousing and logistics experience, including freight booking and consignment costing

- Hands-on experience with an inventory or ERP system

- Comfortable splitting your day between desk-based purchasing and physical warehouse work

- Strong attention to detail; you notice a missing cost or an open PO before anyone asks

- Organised and self-directed: this role runs the process, not just the tasks

- White Card desirable

- Warehouse and logistics background in industrial, equipment, manufacturing or construction supply well regarded

Why Elephants Foot

- A broad role: purchasing, logistics and warehousing in one seat, not a narrow slice of someone else's process

- The best of both: time behind the desk and time on the floor, so no two days are the same

- An established 50-year business at the centre of a growing group

- Clear standards and real ownership from day one

- Bankstown location with on-site parking, permanent full-time, immediate start available

If you're the person who keeps orders moving, suppliers honest and the warehouse tight, we want to hear from you.
