Chemical, energy, and fertiliser businesses across Australia and international markets
WesCEF operates six distinct chemical and materials businesses (ammonia, fertilisers, lithium, polyvinyl chloride, wood composites, LPG) serving industrial sectors across Australia and globally. The tech stack is heavily Azure-centric with a recent pivot toward Microsoft Fabric for unified data analytics — a shift that aligns with the company's pain-point focus on procurement governance and risk management across a complex multi-business portfolio. Current hiring is weighted toward senior-level data and HR roles, suggesting both operational consolidation and scaling of talent acquisition.
Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers (WesCEF) is a public company operating approximately 1,500 employees across six portfolio businesses: CSBP, QNP, Australian Gold Reagents, Australian Vinyls, ModWood, Kleenheat, and Covalent Lithium. The division manufactures and distributes ammonia, ammonium nitrate, sodium cyanide, fertilisers, LPG, LNG, polyvinyl chloride resin, wood plastic composites, and lithium products to both domestic and international industrial customers. Based in Perth, the company operates through a multi-business model with distinct operational and commercial requirements, reflected in active projects spanning procurement policy development, continuous improvement initiatives, and early-career talent programs.
WesCEF uses Microsoft Office, Azure (Synapse Analytics, Data Factory, Purview), Power BI, Jira, Confluence, and SQL/Python for data and analytics. The company is actively adopting Microsoft Fabric and OneLake for unified cloud data integration.
