Bayset is a leading supplier to the construction and infrastructure industry, built on strong relationships, trusted service, and delivering solutions to our customers every day. With a growing national footprint, we are focused on operational excellence, team development, and providing a consistent, high-quality customer experience across our branch network.

As we continue to grow, we are strengthening our purchasing and supply chain capability to support stock availability, supplier relationships and the needs of our branches and customers.

The role will also provide exposure to international purchasing and inbound freight, assisting with overseas orders, shipment tracking, freight coordination and import documentation.

This is a great opportunity for someone with purchasing or supply chain experience who enjoys working in a busy, team-focused environment and is looking to continue developing their skills and experience.

Key responsibilities include, but are definitely not limited to:

• Preparing and processing purchase orders for inventory and equipment
• Monitoring stock requirements and supporting stock availability across the business
• Following up suppliers regarding outstanding orders, backorders, delivery dates and delays
