Whilst logistics in the private sector has a heavy focus on transport, warehousing, distribution and manufacturing, a career as a logistician in Capability, Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) delivers much more.

As a Materiel logistician, you will undertake a diverse range of activities in support of the Australian Defence Force, and their Capability Managers. As a graduate on the 18-month Defence Capability Pathway, you will undertake three rotations (of 6 months), at various locations around Australia, to gain a broad perspective of materiel logistics in Defence. These opportunities could see you providing logistics support anywhere from the concept stage of a new project at the start of the capability life cycle, through to transition into service, sustainment, upgrades and disposal.

As a Materiel logistician, you will have unique opportunities to work on some of the largest and most challenging acquisition and sustainment projects in Australia, for example:

Acquisition Projects

  • Joint Strike Fighter for the Air Force
  • New helicopters for the Navy and Army
  • New Future Frigates and patrol boats for the Navy
  • Advanced Growler Airborne Electronic Attack Capability for the Air Force
  • Battlespace Communications Systems for the Army
  • Anti-Ship Missile Defence systems for the Navy

Sustainment Activities

  • F/A 18F Super Hornet
  • Combat Clothing
  • Weapons Systems
  • Collins Class Submarines
  • Communication Systems
  • Armoured Vehicles

Your work as a Materiel logistician within CASG will be highly valued – the operational success of the Australian Defence Force depends on us.
