  • At least two years of experience using automated warehouse management systems within the past five years.

  • Must complete initial and recurring security training, including CUI, Antiterrorism/Force Protection, OPSEC, Counterintelligence, INFOSEC, and Combating Trafficking in Persons training.
  • Must comply with visitor-control, key-and-lock-control, incident-reporting, suspicious-contact-reporting, and local force-protection procedures.

Key Personnel Availability Requirement

The position may also require extended hours, alternate shifts, emergency response, continuity operations, holiday on-call support, and work during heightened force-protection conditions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with DLA WMS and/or DSS, storage-location maintenance, stock positioning, planography, rewarehousing, weight-and-cube data, or Government distribution operations.
  • Experience improving storage density, pick efficiency, location accuracy, or warehouse capacity.

The employee must be able to move safely through operational areas, comply with personal protective equipment and local safety requirements, work around material-handling equipment and vehicle traffic, and maintain performance during changing access or force-protection conditions.
