What you’ll do

• Manage the full buying process yourself, from sourcing to order placement.
• Negotiate with suppliers to secure good prices and terms.
• Apply sound purchasing processes and internal controls at every stage.
• Use Excel and an ERP or procurement system to track orders, spend and supplier records.
• Work onsite at a mine in Rustenburg.

What you need

• Approximately 3 to 6 years of hands-on Buyer experience.
• Proven experience managing procurement independently, not only in an admin or support role.
• Strong supplier negotiation and commercial skills.
• A sound understanding of purchasing processes and controls.
• Strong Excel and ERP or procurement system experience.
• Experience in mining, engineering, construction or an industrial environment (highly advantageous).
• SAP, Ariba or Coupa experience (advantageous).
• A relevant Procurement or Supply Chain qualification (preferred).

Is this job for you?

This role suits an experienced buyer who is used to working alone and making procurement decisions. If you have worked in a mining or industrial setting and are comfortable on a mine site, you will be a strong fit.

Tips before you apply

• Have your CV ready with clear dates and details of each buying role you have held.
• Show examples of supplier negotiations and the savings or terms you secured.
• List the ERP, Excel and procurement systems you have used, and mention any SAP, Ariba or Coupa work.
