Logistics Supply Specialists in the Navy are an integral part of a ship's crew, and are an essential link in the efficient supply chain between ships and shore. They are experts in inventory management, ensuring the ship has whatever it requires to sail at any given time.

You are responsible for ordering and providing equipment and stores, such as ship parts, clothing, medical supplies, weapons and ammunition. Logistics Supply Specialists enjoy a balance of service at sea as part of a deployed force overseas, and ashore in Naval establishments in Auckland.

The initial parts of your career are spent ashore in the Naval Supply Depot in Devonport Naval Base with short postings to ships to consolidate your learning and put your skills to practice. Whilst serving on a ship,



you will contribute to the ship's communal effort. This ranges from firefighting or carrying out damage control, to being an active member of the ship's boarding party, domestic cleanliness duties and general seamanship - just to name a few.

As you gain experience and rank, there will be further opportunities to post back to sea for supervisory and managerial positions. These can be supplemented with deployments to land-based missions in Recent Zealand as well as overseas, postings to tri-Service establishments and exchanges with the Canadian, UK or Australian Navy.
