Vacant job

Main Responsibilities

As a Logistics Assistant, you are part of the logistics section, whose main task is to resource exercises, training, and operations.

The daily work is varied and includes everything from training and education to the execution of operational activities. An important part of the role is also the development of operations within your future area of work.

Desired Personal Qualities

We place great emphasis on personal qualities and are looking for someone who is confident, has a strong sense of responsibility, and good initiative. Furthermore, you should have a high stress threshold and be accustomed to changing environments, as the operational task is very dynamic.

As an employee, you are expected to take initiative, be able to implement the implications of your own decisions, and evaluate their consequences in a broader operational context. You should be able to work autonomously without direct supervision and make decisions based on previously given frameworks that constantly strive towards the overall goal.
