The Royal Air Force cannot operate without supplies of fuel and equipment. As an RAF Supply, Storage and Distribution Specialist you will be a vital part of all RAF operations in the UK and worldwide.
You will be responsible for the management of RAF assets, ensuring the right kit gets to the right place, at the right time. You will be part of a team handling supplies for aircraft parts, fuels, explosives, ammunition and many other materials required to run a modern Air Force. To deliver equipment to the operational font line you will use computerised accounting techniques, storage methods and mechanical equipment handling. You could be in the office organising the supply of crucial equipment for field missions one day, to outside on airfields refuelling fighter jets the next. Your role could also be critical to ensuring the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid in natural disaster zones or in direct support of airfield fuel installations.
With the RAF you could be posted to a variety of areas around the UK and around the world on deployments, from a main supply unit to a squadron on a NATO detachment or even serve with the Tactical Supply Wing and work on operations and exercises.
The RAF will train and develop you as an individual, also offering award-winning apprenticeships with a guaranteed job at the end.
