Most employers obsess over qualifications and ignore qualities, put experience above potential and have a very narrow range of jobs options on offer. A career in the RAF is about discovering your natural talent and working out together what makes you valuable, productive and happy. From the chefs to the jet pilots they send out on full stomachs, the RAF is full of ordinary folks, just like you, who came to us, often with nothing more than a desire to lead a less ordinary existence.
As a Logistics Supplier, you will be a key component within the RAF. You will play a vital role in the logistical support required by the RAF to fulfil its operational and peacetime obligations. Responsible for the distribution, accounting, stock control and data analysis of a diverse range of commodities such as aircraft parts, fuels, explosives, ammunition and many other materials required to sustain a modern Air Force.
You will use complex IT stock control systems, stock level modelling software, modern storage solutions and operate mechanical handling equipment and other specialist vehicles. You will support Operations in the most challenging locations across the globe; sustain real-life support to personnel and support the most technologically advanced aircraft in the Royal Air Force.
TYPICAL RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Provide logistical support for RAF aircraft and vehicles across the globe.
- End to end management of fuels and lubricants - from pipeline receipts to the refuelling of aircraft.
- Work as part of a team in storage and warehousing areas, potentially managing secret, explosive or classified RAF assets.
- Travel worldwide ensuring RAF assets are maintained and equipment kept in the UK supply chain.
