BL Stringer are an established New Zealand company who take pride in the fact we make a difference in the lives of thousands of vulnerable New Zealanders.


We are looking for an organised and proactive Purchasing Officer to join our Wigram team and help keep products, orders and shipments moving smoothly.


This is a varied role covering purchasing, supplier coordination, freight and logistics, stock monitoring and purchasing administration.

Your key responsibilities will include:


  • Processing and managing local and international purchase orders
  • Monitoring open orders and following up suppliers on production and delivery timelines
  • Maintaining accurate pricing, quantities, supplier and shipping information
  • Liaising with suppliers regarding orders, lead times, documentation and delivery arrangements
  • Coordinating international and local freight with suppliers, forwarders and carriers
  • Monitoring shipments and keeping expected arrival dates up to date
  • Assisting with customs and international shipping documentation
  • Monitoring stock availability and identifying potential shortages or supply risks
  • Reviewing stock requirements against open orders, demand, lead times and minimum order quantities
  • Identifying potential excess, slow-moving or obsolete stock
  • Conducting basic quality checks on incoming goods and helping resolve shortages, damages or incorrect deliveries
  • Maintaining accurate purchasing and supplier records and assisting with reporting
  • Supporting purchasing, stock and supply chain improvement projects, as well as other ad-hoc projects as required


To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:


  • Previous experience in purchasing, procurement, supply chain, logistics or a similar role
  • Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
  • Confidence dealing with suppliers and managing multiple orders and deadlines
  • Good communication and relationship-building skills
  • An understanding of stock management, supplier lead times and purchasing processes
  • Experience coordinating freight or international shipments would be advantageous
  • Strong computer and administration skills
  • A proactive approach with the ability to identify and follow up potential issues before they become problems


You'll be someone who enjoys keeping things organised, following orders from placement through to delivery and making sure the details are right.


This is a great opportunity to take on a broad purchasing role within an established New Zealand business, with plenty of variety and the opportunity to contribute to improvements across purchasing and supply.
