Common Duties

- As a Cargo Operator, you’ll be responsible for the movement and collection of the Army’s vital equipment and supplies, functioning across air, land or sea. Without you, these goods won’t get to where they need to be, and unlike standard desk jobs, you’ll sit in a different driver’s seat every day.
- As a Driver, you’ll play a pivotal role in the operation and management of sophisticated military vehicles in all conditions, over all kinds of terrain. You’ll be responsible for transporting cargo, personnel and dangerous goods to support training and operations in Australia and overseas.
- As a Fuel Specialist, you'll be in charge of managing, distributing and storing fuel products, as well as the refuelling itself. You'll work on military bases, on exercises and on deployments, so the job could take you across Australia and even overseas.
- As a Marine Specialist, you’ll operate a variety of high-performance vessels in the Army on military operations and disaster-relief scenarios. You'll play a pivotal role within the Army’s distribution network. Your day-to-day tasks will involve planning the movements of personnel,



supplies and equipment – and be responsible for their safe delivery by water.
- As a Warehouse Coordinator, you'll be running supply, distribution and getting essential military equipment to where they're needed. Whether in barracks, on exercise, in the field or on operations you will be making sure soldiers are provided with everything they need.
