A Procurement Consultant provides advice to large businesses or organisations on the purchase of new supplies and services. You might assist with sourcing products and suppliers or negotiate prices on behalf of your client. Procurement Consultants may prepare contracts and guide organisations through the completion of other paperwork.
Procurement Consultants should have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to communicate with people from a range of backgrounds. It’s important you have strong negotiation skills and you should be a good problem solver. Procurement Consultants must be good at multitasking as you may work with several clients at one time.
In Australia, a full time Procurement Consultant generally earns $2,115 per week ($109,980 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
This industry is expected to experience moderate employment growth in coming years. There are currently 7,400 people working in this area in Australia and many of them specialise as a Procurement Consultant. Procurement Consultants may find work across all regions of Australia.
