Your role

Running a busy warehouse, maintaining optimum stock levels and ensuring the right gear is always available, is a great job for those who prefer order over chaos.

Now imagine how much more exciting that job would be in the Army, when the stock you're dealing with is anything from uniforms and tents to communications equipment and weapons, and their timely supply could be critical to the success of an important mission.

As a Warehouse Assistant (Unit Supply Operator) you’ll be responsible for managing supplies that are vital to Army capability, from receipt to storage and delivery. And your ‘office’ could be in barracks, out on exercise or even in a disaster zone supporting relief efforts.

Able to think clearly and respond under pressure, you'll be handling a variety of interesting tasks. The skills you learn - skills that are highly desirable outside the Services - could include:

  • warehouse management
  • planning, ordering and distributing
  • general logistics
  • inventory management
  • personnel management, and
  • accounting and financial management.

You may also be taught to drive heavy vehicles and off-road forklifts.

This critical role offers challenge and variety in a close-knit team environment. Better still, in the Army you’ll enjoy a great lifestyle plus opportunities and experiences you simply won’t find anywhere else.

Sounds good? Then apply now (below).
