This is a hands-on role with an important focus on safety, compliance and continuous improvement. You’ll provide advice on the safe storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, including dangerous and temperature-sensitive products, while ensuring purchasing and inventory activities align with University policies, tax requirements and occupational health and safety standards.

A relevant tertiary qualification, substantial relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience will be highly regarded. You’ll also have strong computer literacy, including experience with Microsoft Office and purchasing or inventory management systems such as SAP.
You’ll be a customer-focused and practical team player who can communicate confidently with a diverse range of people and provide helpful, timely advice. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are important, along with the ability to identify issues, interpret data and develop effective solutions. Experience with chemicals, laboratory consumables and equipment, and the safe handling of hazardous materials, and a current forklift license, will be highly regarded.
