About Us

Alpine MDF Industries is a leading wood processing facility based in Wangaratta, North East Victoria. We manufacture and distribute MDF products both nationally and internationally, providing stable employment for over 140 local workers.

These include pre-painted skirting boards, architraves, door and window components, and decorative wall lining panels.

  • Develop and implement company-wide procurement strategies, policies, and procedures.
  • Lead supplier evaluations, contract negotiations, and performance management.
  • Identify and implement cost-saving initiatives and continuous improvement opportunities.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to align procurement with production schedules and business priorities.
  • Manage purchasing governance, contract renewals, and supplier risk assessments.
  • Provide mentoring and direction to build capability and accountability.

What you'll bring

  • Proven experience in a procurement or purchasing leadership role, ideally in a manufacturing or industrial setting.
  • Strong commercial and negotiation skills with a record of improving supplier performance and driving savings.
  • Proficiency in ERP or procurement systems (e.g., SAP, Pronto, or similar) and strong Excel reporting ability.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage internal stakeholders and suppliers.
  • High attention to detail, documentation, and compliance.
  • Tertiary qualification in Business, Supply Chain Management, or a related field (preferred).
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset and commitment to continuous improvement.
