Our supply logisticians make sure our projects are equipped with everything that's needed to deal with an emergency.

From collecting supplies from aMédecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) plane on a makeshift runway to working with the Pharmacy Manager and medical team to forecast medical supplies months in advance, the work of a supply logistician is far-reaching and vital to the whole team.

Responsibilities

Our supply logisticians are responsible for ordering all supplies for the project. They often have experience in supply chain management and have strong skills in managing spreadsheets and databases.

The supply logistician is either based in the project or the capital and works closely with all departments, ensuring that accurate forecasting is done so that the project has the capacity to respond immediately to urgent medical needs as they arise.

Managing local staff

Training, supervising, and managing local staff is a key responsibility, and the supply team may be comprised of storekeepers, purchasers, supply logistics assistants, and laborers.

A large part of the supply logistician's work is to build the capacity of these local staff, as well as to ensure safe and fair working conditions and manage the administration of the department.

Supply logisticians also have frequent interaction with local authorities and organizations and often oversee the implementation of security protocols to ensure the safe movement of cargo into the project.
