About Laminex Australia

We’ve been a part of the iconic Australian design landscape for over 85 years. Only a few short years after Australian’s fell in love with Vegemite, families were spreading their toast in kitchens and on tables made by us. We’ve come a long way. 

Today, you’ll see Laminex on surfaces everywhere you look - be it hospitals, shopping centres, restaurants or your home. We manufacture and procure a broad range of products for commercial and residential use such as laminate, engineered stone and veneers so that all Australians can live in beautiful, practical spaces. 

The Opportunity

We’ve recently undertaken a broader review of Procurement allowing us to strategically align the function in a way that will achieve maximum impact and results.  As such, we are looking for a Procurement Specialist to implement best-practices within our ‘Manufacturing’ portfolio that includes manufacturing materials and MRO. You’ll be responsible for executing sourcing strategies and facilitating the commercial negotiation of strategic contracts. 

Key focuses & responsibilities:
  • Analytics, modelling, market research, and interpretation of relevant data to develop subsequent business recommendations
  • Development and implementation of procurement frameworks, identifying opportunities to reduce costs and improve service delivery
  • Internal stakeholder management to support end-to-end value chain and successful category management
  • Contract negotiation, management, and compliance monitoring

Skills and Experience

Along with experience in a similarly sized, complex organisation you’ll have the following skills and experience: 
  • A tertiary qualification in Engineering, Supply Chain or Procurement
  • Experience working with a technical product range within a manufacturing organisation
  • Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
  • Solid commercial business acumen and negotiation skills
  • An ability to thrive in a fast paced environment

This is an exciting opportunity for someone wanting to take a step up in their career, or for someone looking to make their mark by driving efficiencies in the current procurement strategy. 

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we strive to create an inclusive environment for all our employees. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply to any of our vacant positions. Talk to us about our flexible working arrangements and career pathways.
