ROLE SUMMARY:
This includes liaising with Fleet Services, Service Delivery, Equipment & Clothing, Operational Communications, and other internal teams to ensure all components required for vehicle builds and commissioning—such as radio kits, fuel cards, and equipment kits—are available when required.
The Fleet Purchasing and Program Coordinator works closely with the peer Fleet Purchasing & Program Coordinator role, the Fleet Fit-out and Refurbishment Lead, and other internal stakeholders to coordinate resources, logistics and information required to support build, fit-out and quality assurance activities. The role provides critical support to ensure components, equipment and documentation are available when required and that dependencies across purchasing, logistics and build activities are actively managed.
The position also supports VESEP and unit-funded purchases by coordinating ordering in line with approved specifications and build options, assists with tracking expenditure against budgets, and supports ongoing supplier performance monitoring and reporting. The role contributes to continuous improvement by assisting with the refinement of purchasing and coordination processes and supports the Fleet Program Manager in supplier engagement and program reporting activities.
