Purchasing Administrator

Join McDermott Aviation – Australia's Leading Helicopter Company

McDermott Aviation is Australia's largest privately-owned helicopter company, proudly headquartered in Cooroy, Queensland. For over 40 years, we've delivered critical services including aerial firefighting, heavy lifting, and emergency response across Australia, Europe, and the USA.

We operate a fleet of over 50 aircraft and employ a dynamic team across engineering, operations, and logistics. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a detail-focused Master Data Officer – Aviation to support our high-performance Supply Chain team.

About The Role

Are you a systems-savvy administrator who thrives on accuracy, structure, and improvement? In this pivotal support role, you'll help ensure our master data, reporting, and supply chain processes are rock-solid, keeping our aircraft and operations running smoothly.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain and improve master data in aviation ERP and maintenance systems (e.g. parts, vendors, materials, locations)
• Build and manage dashboards, reports, and key performance indicators (KPIs)
• Work closely with Procurement, Inventory, and Maintenance teams to ensure accurate data and stock control
• Troubleshoot and resolve data/system issues for internal users
• Assist with documentation, process updates, and change management
• Support audit preparation, compliance tasks, and records management
• Provide general administrative support to the broader supply chain function
  
  

What You'll Bring

• Proven administration experience, ideally within supply chain, logistics, or procurement
• Strong Excel skills (PivotTables, VLOOKUPs, data handling)
• Familiarity with ERP systems (any platform)
• High attention to detail with a methodical and structured approach
• Ability to manage competing priorities and communicate confidently with diverse teams
• Aviation or MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) experience is a bonus—but not essential
  
  

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a team supporting essential aviation services like firefighting, rescue, and heavy lifting
• Drive real-world improvements in data and operational systems
• Work in a collaborative, supportive team culture
• Access professional development and learning opportunities
  
  

If you're ready to bring your skills in data, systems, and administration to a role that makes a difference, we want to hear from you.

You don't need aviation experience—just strong attention to detail, curiosity, and a passion for clean data and process excellence.
