About You

You have demonstrated procurement experience in the civil works sector and a track record of achievement and bringing creativity to challenging problems. You are known for your engagement skills and the ability to work closely with a range of stakeholders.

About Us

We are the peak body for local government in Tasmania. Our role is to support, advocate for and represent the local government sector, so our 29 council members are best placed to serve their communities.

The LGAT Procurement team provides efficient and effective administration and procurement support to Tasmanian councils. Our arrangements enable Tasmanian councils to procure goods and services, consolidating the demand and eliminating the need for separate supply contracts.

We are a small adaptive organisation that is driven to making a difference for Tasmania. Annual leave is five and a half weeks (including a Christmas/New Year shutdown), as well as generous superannuation and long service leave provisions. Our office is on the doorstep of cafes, Hill Street Grocer and the Hobart Rivulet, the perfect place for a lunch time walk. We look after our people, supporting and rewarding them. We respect that work is part of your life, not your life. Most staff work off-site a few days a week, and those with kids have flexible arrangements for pick-ups, drop-offs, and events.

Want to apply?

Please provide your resume and an application letter (no more than three pages) addressing what attracted you to this role, what you regard as the critical components to delivering it successfully and why we should select you based on the selection criteria, to admin@lgat.tas.gov.au by 5.00pm, Monday 23 February.
