About the Role
This isn’t your average procurement career move. As a Procurement Specialist at Cowal, you’ll be at the forefront of sourcing and commercial strategy in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. Reporting to the Supply Superintendent, you’ll be responsible for leading strategic sourcing activities, developing commercial agreements, and supporting contract governance across a diverse portfolio.
What sets this role apart?
- Front-end focus: You’ll be hands-on with tendering, negotiation, and contract setup so less admin, more action.
- Agile environment: Expect variety, autonomy, and the chance to juggle multiple high-value contracts simultaneously.
- Strategic influence: You’ll help shape sourcing strategies and build key supplier relationships that drive real outcomes.
Whether it’s a $200K engineering contract or a $5M services agreement, you’ll be making a tangible impact every day: most packages typically land in this range, with the occasional larger outlier.
About You
You’re not just a procurement professional—you’re a contract-savvy operator who thrives in dynamic environments. You bring tertiary qualifications in Procurement, Business, Commerce or Law (or equivalent experience), and ideally 5+ years in mining or heavy industry. You know how to get things done, and you don’t get bogged down in the data—you push projects forward.
What motivates you?
- Delivering results in a fast-moving, operationally focused setting
- Building strong relationships with stakeholders and suppliers
- Working flexibly while maintaining high standards of accountability
If you love the tendering space, have a knack for negotiation, and want to be part of a collaborative team of five that values initiative and impact—this is your kind of role.
