Why join Mitre 10 MEGA Nelson?

• Trusted brand, local heart. Mitre 10 has been serving Kiwi’s since 1974 and has been voted NZ’s most trusted home‑improvement brand many times over. You’ll be part of a team that puts customers and community first.
• People come first. Our culture is grounded in being customer‑obsessed, and one team. A culture focused on teams is what we offer. 
• Great perks. Competitive pay, strong stable employment, and access to a range of discounts (e.g., fuel, health & wellbeing partners) through Mitre 10 employment benefits. (Specifics confirmed at offer stage.)

The opportunity

As our Purchasing Officer, you’ll keep the right products flowing from supplier to shelf — in full, on time, and accurately priced — so customers and our trade partners can crack on with their jobs.

You will:

• Raise, track, and receipt purchase orders; maintain accurate supplier and product data in our systems
• Monitor stock levels, lead times, and stock turns; action exceptions, backorders, and substitutions to minimise out‑of‑stocks and aged inventory.
• Coordinate inbound deliveries with the respective teams; support cycle counts/stock takes and variance resolution.
• Build strong supplier relationships — expediting orders, negotiating delivery improvements, and resolving pricing/quality queries.
• Ensure purchasing is aligned with promotions, seasonal plans, and demand — helping us deliver an excellent customer experience.

What you’ll bring

• Experience in purchasing/procurement, inventory, or supply chain. Comfortable with ERP (Mitre 10 is moving to SAP), Excel, and data accuracy.
• A proactive, organised approach — you can juggle priorities, meet deadlines, and solve supply issues before they become customer problems.
• Great communication and relationship skills with suppliers and internal teams; you live our values: customer‑obsessed, one team, honest & fair, and striving for excellence.

What’s in it for you

• A supportive, hands‑on leadership culture with clear KPI’s.
• Team purchasing privileges and family discounts.
• The satisfaction of helping a much‑loved Kiwi brand deliver on its promise — “With you all the way.”
