BUMA Australia is a growing mining services company with five solid mining contracts and around 1200 employees. We recently announced a five year extension with BMA and a services contract for the new Broadmeadow East mine and expect to announce further growth soon.

In December 2021 we finalised the purchase of the Open Cut Mining business of Downer on the East Coast. This acquisition included the transition of people, mining services contracts, assets, systems and intellectual property from a business which has successfully provided mining and civil services in diverse locations and across many commodities for over 100 years. Currently BUMA Australia successfully manages operations across five sites and we have plans to continue to expand and grow.

Everything we do is underpinned by our vision - to be a leading mining service provider contributing to future energy solutions - and is supported by our core values of safety, integrity, innovation, collaboration and people.

We are now seeking a Senior Accounts Payable Officer to build our corporate team at South Bank. Reporting to the Commercial Manager Corporate, the role will involve receiving, verifying and processing invoices for payment in accordance with key deliverables. You will be responsible for assisting and investigating multiple site teams to process invoices in a timely manner.

Specifically, responsibilities of the role include:

• Assign invoices using Kofax to correct departments for confirmation of receipt
• Process all invoices and ensure they follow the correct workflow into the accounting system
• Maintain a logged invoice report for all outstanding invoices and issue to all sites for action
• Investigate outstanding invoices and liaise with the business to resolve discrepancies that may be holding up invoice payment
• Ensure timely payments to suppliers to maintain strong supplier relationships
• Liaise with suppliers regarding outstanding accounts and conduct monthly supplier reconciliations
• Provide education, training and support to staff in all aspects of Kofax
• Create and maintain monthly accounts payable reports
• Identify and assist with documentation of SAP/Kofax procedures & standards for accounts payable
• Comply with all policies, standards and procedures contained within the BUMA Australia Management System and input into the development and improvement of the Management System
• Set up new sites and reporting requirements in SAP & Kofax systems
• Review and continuously improve the service levels offered by accounts payable to the mining operations
