Procurement is not back-office here. It is the control point for keeping production supplied.
Is this you?A detail-minded procurement professional, you take real ownership of the details that keep materials moving. You communicate clearly, build credible supplier relationships and remain composed when delivery delays, quality concerns or pricing queries need practical resolution.
What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)
Managing the full purchasing cycle, you will source and evaluate quotations, place purchase orders and follow up on deliveries for raw materials, packaging and finished goods. You will monitor supplier quality, service, availability and pricing, expedite outstanding orders, and manage supply risks. Close coordination with Production, Warehouse, Quality, Planning, Logistics and Finance will help resolve discrepancies and keep accurate records, reports and compliance documentation in place.
Where you'll be doing it
Based in Germiston, Johannesburg, you will support an established international manufacturing business serving the building and construction sector. The office-based environment brings procurement, production, warehousing, logistics and sales together, with a supportive, productive culture that values teamwork, ownership and operational efficiency.
What you'll need
A tertiary qualification in Supply Chain, Purchasing, Procurement Management or a related discipline is essential, alongside three to five years of procurement or purchasing experience, ideally in manufacturing. You will bring experience sourcing raw materials, packaging, consumables and services, managing suppliers and using procurement systems locally and internationally. Strong spreadsheet and document skills, sound commercial judgement and the ability to interpret legal documents are important.
What you'll get
The scope to become a trusted link between suppliers and operational teams will give you meaningful exposure across local and international procurement activity. You will also have access to 20 days' annual leave and a benefits structure that includes medical, retirement, life and disability cover.
