Purchasing Officer (Full-Time) | Riviera Hardware Holdings Ltd.

Who We Are
Riviera Hardware Holdings Ltd is the largest group within the Mitre 10 network, proudly Kiwi-owned and operated. From one store in Warkworth in 2009, we’ve grown to include Mitre 10 MEGA Albany (New Zealand’s largest hardware store), alongside New Lynn, Silverdale, Warkworth and Mitre 10 Whangaparaoa. We also own and operate several Columbus Coffee cafés, a Distribution Centre, and a Frame & Truss Manufacturing Plant — giving us a true end-to-end offer across retail and trade.

This is a fast-moving, practical business where the detail matters — and where the right people make a visible impact.

The Role
This is a permanent, full-time, on-site role based at Mitre 10 MEGA Albany, reporting to the Chief Merchandise Officer. You’ll be part of the central purchasing team, focused on execution — making sure the right stock is ordered, arrives on time, and is available for customers when needed.

• Managing order quantities to optimise freight and reduce costs
• Monitoring zero stock-on-hand issues and correcting replenishment settings
