What you will be involved in: 

A logistics consultant at Nova consults across multiple areas and disciplines, applying their skills in Integrated Logistics Support and Materiel Logistics.  This includes a range of areas for our largest client, the Australian Defence Force. Logistics Support in Nova and with our clients is more than warehousing and distribution, it includes supporting the development, acquisition and sustainment of complete systems (e.g. a helicopter) to maintain assets through their service life.

Graduates in the Integrated Logistics Support stream have undertaken rotations in all three of the Defences services. Development and acquisition of the M1A1 AIM SA Abrams Main Battle Tank Upgrade project involve planning around acquiring the asset and how they will be supported.  Sustainment of the Deployable Force Infrastructure project, including sanitation, catering, water management, and shelters, can involve using various tools such as ERP systems, to effectively support, organise, track and monitor Defence assets.  Internal rotations in other areas of the business, such as finance and business development, are also available.
