Job Description:

Through the DoW SkillBridge Program, GDIT offers transitioning service members the opportunity to gain hands-on training and experience as a Logistics Technician Fellow, supporting enterprise logistics operations in high-impact, mission-focused environments. In this Fellowship, you’ll observe and participate in real-world logistics, inventory, and asset management activities while supporting operational readiness across customer programs. You’ll work alongside GDIT logistics teams and customer counterparts while preparing for a successful transition into civilian logistics, supply chain, warehouse operations, or asset management careers.

As a Logistics Technician Fellow, you will train under the guidance of senior logisticians to understand how equipment, materials, and assets are received, tracked, stored, redistributed, and maintained across a large-scale enterprise. Throughout the Fellowship, you will support inventory workflows, distribution activities, data accuracy, material handling, and customer-facing logistics coordination—building the operational, analytical, and organizational skills required for an intermediate-level logistics career.

• Performing clerical and manual tasks to maintain inventory of materials, parts, supplies, and equipment.

• Receiving, barcoding, inventorying, and assisting with the disposition of assigned equipment.

• Conducting or assisting in distribution and network studies to monitor inventory and develop strategies to meet delivery timelines.

• Participating in special projects, shipping/receiving, inter-plant transfers, barcode assignments, and database maintenance.

• Supporting annual inventory efforts and learning to account for thousands of accountable items in coordination with security and government logistics personnel.

• Assisting other work centers in identifying and satisfying logistics requirements.

• Performing both manual labor (e.g., palletizing/de-palletizing equipment) and computer-based tasks using Microsoft Office applications.
