Cross River Rail Delivery Authority (CRRDA)...Your chance to work with the best
Cross River Rail will transform the way we travel to, from and through Brisbane in the future. It will be a catalyst for 10 years of wider rail transformation across the whole of South East Queensland and it is already playing a key role in how we prepare for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Cross River Rail is a new 10.2km rail line including 5.9km of twin tunnels running under the Brisbane River and CBD. It includes the delivery of four new underground stations, two new above-ground stations, accessibility rebuilds for six stations, the construction of three new stations on the Gold Coast, and the introduction of a new world-class 'ETCS' signalling system.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work on one of Australia's largest infrastructure projects and to be a part of something that will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
About the Role
The Purchasing Advisor supports Cross River Rail Delivery Authority's commitment to effective and compliant procurement practices by aligning purchasing activities with Queensland Government purchasing policies, legislation and company objectives. This role will be instrumental in the implementation of a new Cross River Rail Procurement Framework, ensuring best practices, and enhancing purchasing systems to deliver value for money across the Delivery Authority.
In this role, you will lead and support sourcing activities, develop purchasing procedures, and monitor supplier performance, fostering relationships with internal and external stakeholders to meet business objectives. As a trusted advisor, you will work closely with various teams to communicate procurement strategies and support the operational delivery of purchasing functions within compliance frameworks. You will also contribute to procurement improvement projects, enhancing systems, reporting, and training to embed contemporary procurement practices within the Delivery Authority.
This opportunity is offered as a contract until December 2026.
**Key Responsibilities**:
- Support procurement improvement projects by developing systems, tools, and reporting to achieve business outcomes and value for money.
- Develop and implement procurement instructions, procedures, guidelines, and forms.
- Lead sourcing activities to establish supply arrangements that meet business needs.
- Communicate procurement strategies and Queensland Procurement Policy to stakeholders, facilitating changes through training.
- Maintain detailed records of procurement processes for audit, probity, and accountability purposes.
- Monitor supplier performance and advise clients on procurement matters.
- Contribute to supplier negotiations and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to deliver value for money.
- Build and maintain relationships with internal clients and contractors to ensure satisfaction and value for money.
- Maintain professional development, including the Queensland Government Skills2Procure Program or equivalent.
**About You**:
- Minimum of three years' experience in a comparable role supporting purchasing in a procurement team including the continuous improvement of purchasing processes and procedures.
- Sound interpersonal and relationship building with the ability to influence and negotiate with internal and external stakeholders.
- While not mandatory, formal procurement, purchasing and/or contract management accreditation, including Queensland Purchasing, QGCPO, CIPS or similar will be highly regarded.
- A criminal history check will be undertaken prior to appointment as this role has access to sensitive data.
