Buyer

NES Fircroft are supporting our valued client, a global EPC company, who are recruiting a Buyer to join their Perth office for an initial 12-month contract.

Are you an experienced Buyer ready to hit the ground running in a fast-paced, high-impact environment? We are seeking a resourceful and proactive Buyer to manage procurement activities across two exciting and distinctly different projects based in Perth. This is a unique opportunity to play an important role in supporting both an onshore hydrogen project moving into precommissioning and commissioning phases, and an offshore gas project entering its hook-up stage.

As Buyer, you will efficiently balance competing priorities, manage purchase functions, and respond to urgent material requests to ensure projects stay on track and on budget. You will be integral to sourcing and delivering the right materials and equipment at the right time, helping two dynamic teams overcome challenges from fast schedules to technical rectifications. Reporting to senior procurement personnel, you’ll join a collaborative team environment where your contributions will make a difference.

• Ability to prioritize effectively across multiple projects and shifting deadlines
• Strong communication and negotiation skills to handle supplier inquiries and urgent requests
