- working collaboratively with the Kingston warehouse and Cargo Biosecurity Centre teams to coordinate consignments against finalised cargo plans for each transport,
- providing specific guidance on sensitive cargo (i.e. samples, medical or cold chain items) against forecast capacities and in accordance with procedures,
- assisting Station Supply Officers to develop Return to Australia (RTA) cargo forecasts and with essential preparations for resupply,
- participating in the annual review of the AAD’s cargo-related Standard Operating Procedures and biosecurity management practices.
- assisting with the preparation and delivery of supply chain management training for station supply and other AAD personnel,
- actively contributing to the safe working environments at all AAD cargo handling and warehousing facilities within the team,
- advising on risks related to the provision of core Supply Chain Operations services, opportunities for improvements and asset developments potentially impacting supply chain management.

**What we are looking for**

- Demonstrated experience and proficiency in cargo or resource management and planning, including preparing forecasts and program requirements within known constraints and with a high degree of attention to detail.
- Experience in adopting innovative practices through the development and delivery of operational products and services.
- Strong experience in a professional supply chain team, including participating in an effective team-based approach and contributing to a harmonious work environment.
- Familiarity working with data within cargo tracking/management systems and inventory monitoring.
- An awareness of the requirements for the preparation of dangerous goods for transport by air and/or sea in compliance with relevant Australian and International standards (e.g. the IMDG code).

**Skills and capabilities**
- A proven ability to communicate effectively and persuasively, and to maintain strong working relationships with a wide range of key stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to think strategically to identify problems, to critically evaluate options, including identifying and assessing risks.
- Knowledge of contemporary cargo handling or warehouse systems.
- A proven capability to support, perform and contribute in small teams.
