Do Work That Matters

Leidos Australia delivers IT and airborne solutions that protect and advance the Australian way of life. Our 2000 local experts, backed by our global experience and network of partners, are working to solve the world’s toughest challenges in government, intelligence, defence, aviation, border protection and health markets.

Your New Role and Responsibilities

As the prime systems integrator, Leidos delivers Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) capability to the Royal Australian Navy through deployable systems that quickly collect and distribute maritime environmental data vital for safe operations in unfamiliar waters and missions such as disaster response, amphibious operations and mine countermeasures.

We are looking for a candidate with a solid logistics understanding and enthusiasm to take on tasks within the contract to support Navy’s needs as they evolve. This can be as diverse as preparing shipments to support Navy Disaster Recovery activities in Australia and the Pacific Region, as well as working with Navy logistics staff to move material around Australia to support their team’s needs.

A typical day can change on a moment’s notice. We meet the needs of our customer by pivoting to meet their needs as they arise. Our commitment is to supply material to the REA capability that is serviceable, reliable and operationally available, in the shortest possible timeframes.

Reporting to the site lead and collaborating with a small team, this position will:

• Oversee end-to-end supply support activities for systems delivered by Leidos, ensuring that service levels and client requirements are met.

• Conduct stocktakes; maintain accurate inventory records, movement tracking, and asset accounting in line with Defence standards.

• Execute timely issuing/receipting of stock items and system kits; manage warehousing, storage, handling, and distribution—including care, preservation, and maintenance of items while in storage.

• Determine ‘end user’ equipment demand, with consideration of availability of serviceable equipment and planned maintenance schedules that may impact equipment availability. This will be fulfilled through use of Defence inventory systems and regular dialog with defence logistics staff.

• Fulfill external shipping where required, to facilitate repair or calibration by external vendors.

• Develop sparing recommendations to sustain system availability and initiate necessary procurement actions fin accordance with policy and process.; prepare materials and contribute to program progress meetings, reporting supply status, risks, and corrective actions.

What You’ll Bring to Make an Impact

• Strong capability in stocktaking, issuing/receipting, asset accounting, and warehouse operations (storage, handling, distribution, and stock movement/transportation).

• Able to determine requirements (RIs vs Non-RIs), develop sparing recommendations, and think on your feet to contribute to team-based solutions.

• Demonstrated experience supporting maintenance teams, including spares management, stock control, and client service delivery.

• Experience in working with Enterprise Resourcing Planning Software

Desirable

• LF forklift licence and/or experience with dangerous goods handling.

• Experience with lean warehousing or continuous improvement in supply operations.

• Understanding of preservation/packaging standards and transport coordination.

• Knowledge of Defence supply chain compliance, care-of-stock in storage, and safe manual handling/warehouse practices; commitment to accurate documentation and audit readiness

This role does require the successful applicant to be an Australian Citizen and the ability to obtain and hold a Defence security clearance.

Don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes – if you meet most of them, we encourage you to submit your application. We’re most interested in your strengths, what you want to learn and how far you want to go.
