A supply officer is responsible for managing the stock of supplies for a business, organization, police department, or even a military base. As a supply officer, your job duties include overseeing the budget for supplies, keeping an accurate inventory of the stock, inspecting and storing supplies, arranging transportation, and placing orders when supply gets low. You also keep detailed records and prepare reports. The qualifications to begin a career as a supply officer range from a high school diploma to a bachelor’s degree, although some employers may prefer a master’s degree in business management. If you want to work for a government agency, you must meet specific qualifications, like passing a physical exam. To succeed in this job, you need strong organizational skills and attention to detail, and employers may prefer you to have prior experience working in supply management.
