Description & Requirements

Don’t come for an easy career. Stay for a rewarding one.
At Santos, we do work that matters and always have. When you join us, so will you. 

As an ASX 20 global energy company, we’re committed to providing reliable and affordable energy to help create a better world for everyone. 

To make it happen, we work as One Team and ask ourselves, “How can we?” (Even when others say, “We can’t.”) 
We’re proud of our history as pioneers, problem-solvers, and pragmatists. And as we strive to achieve our Vision2040, we’ve got our sights set on a culture that is focussed and disciplined to drive value, and entrepreneurial and energised to leave a positive legacy. 

The difference isn’t just thinking big – it’s delivering on it too. 

As part of the team, you’ll tackle one of the most complex problems of our time. It’s no easy task, but nothing rewarding ever is.


What you’ll do:
In this role, you’ll apply advanced analytical tools and inventory optimisation techniques to ensure Santos holds the right inventory, in the right place, at the right time—supporting safe, reliable, and cost-effective operations across Eastern Australia.

Based in Brisbane, you’ll take ownership of a consolidated inventory portfolio, working across a diverse range of materials from everyday consumables to high-value, safety-critical equipment. 
You’ll mine and interpret complex data sets, identify optimisation opportunities across the full product life cycle, and provide clear, data-driven insights to support decision-making.

Your work will be delivered in line with Santos’ values and the Santos Management System, requiring a high level of independence, analytical rigour, and the ability to navigate complexity while driving continuous improvement in inventory performance.

Key Responsibilities
  • Collect, compile and analyse large volumes of inventory data from ERP systems (SAP), BI reports, historical systems and master data sources
  • Provide insight and recommendations to optimise inventory holdings across multiple sites
  • Support the business in maintaining appropriate safety stock levels, particularly for safety-critical and seasonal materials
  • Identify, analyse and actively manage slow-moving and obsolete inventory, including disposal and value recovery initiatives
  • Work closely with Finance, frontline teams, JV partners, material coordinators and maintenance teams
  • Support inventory planning for development projects, repairs and operational materials
  • Liaise with stakeholders across multiple locations including Brisbane, Roma, Narrabri and other regional sites
  • Contribute to inventory governance and continuous improvement initiatives

What you’ll bring:
  • Strong experience in data analysis, particularly inventory and materials data
  • Advanced skills in Excel and exposure to BI tools
  • Experience working with ERP systems, ideally SAP
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence a broad range of stakeholders
  • Resilience and determination, particularly when managing complex disposals and legacy inventory
  • The ability to balance competing priorities in a fast-moving, operational environment
  • Tertiary qualifications preferred (Supply Chain Management, Business, or similar)
  • Background in Oil & Gas, Mining, FMCG or asset-intensive industries is beneficial but not essential
  • Experience managing large and diverse material catalogues will be highly regarded

What you’ll get:
Here, you’ll be amongst high-calibre people and get to work on industry-leading projects. We don’t shy away from solving tough problems at pace. We like it that way. You can expect to be challenged and supported; to learn and grow. 

At Santos, we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. This means a place that is safe; where you are valued and respected, and your contribution is recognised and appreciated. Join us, and you’ll play a role in this too.

Each of our sites offer access to specific amenities that aim to create the best possible benefits to your health, wellbeing and performance.  


What you’re part of:
Everywhere you turn you will be a part of a team who are coming together to contribute to our single uniting purpose - to provide reliable and affordable energy to help create a better world for everyone

And because it’s not only what you do, but how you do it, you will also contribute to improving the living standards of the communities where we operate, building enduring and respectful relationships that serve a generation. It’s about each of us, and all of us – together.


How to Apply
Applications must be submitted via the online recruitment system before COB Monday 5th of January 2026.

A requirement of this role is that you will need to have in place the legal work rights to apply.
