We have an exciting opportunity for a Supply Chain Intern to join our Energy & Utilities Supply Chain team on a casual basis.
This is a great opportunity for a student or early-career professional looking to gain hands-on experience across procurement, purchasing, logistics and supply chain operations within a large infrastructure environment.
Working alongside our Procurement and Buying teams, you’ll support day-to-day purchasing activities, supplier administration, reporting and operational coordination while developing practical experience across the end-to-end procurement process.
What You’ll Be Doing
In this role, you will:
- Provide day-to-day transactional and administrative support to our team of Buyers across construction projects, maintenance programs and infrastructure works.
- Maintain and update procurement registers, logs, databases, expediting reports and status reports.
- Support the management and maintenance of the supplier contract repository.
- Assist with vendor onboarding and respond to supplier and vendor queries.
- Support Procurement Hubs with monitoring, triaging and reporting on requisitions through ServiceNow.

- Maintain accurate procurement records and documentation.
- Support reporting and data analysis across procurement and supply chain activities.
- Work collaboratively with project teams, suppliers and internal stakeholders.

What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone who is organised, eager to learn and enjoys working in a fast-paced team environment.
Ideally, you will have:
- A tertiary qualification, or currently be studying towards a degree in Commerce, Business, Law, Project Management, Engineering or a related discipline.
- Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
- Good analytical, reporting and problem-solving skills.
- Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work with a range of stakeholders.
- A proactive, hands-on approach and willingness to learn.
- The ability to manage multiple tasks and changing priorities.
Previous experience in administration, purchasing, finance, procurement or supply chain would be advantageous, particularly within construction, utilities, infrastructure or a similar environment, however it is not essential.
Why Join Us?
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain practical experience within a large and diverse Energy & Utilities business while learning directly from experienced procurement and supply chain professionals.
You’ll gain exposure to procurement processes, supplier management, purchasing systems, project delivery and stakeholder engagement, building a strong foundation for a future career in procurement and supply chain.
