Ammunition Expert - Land Force - Non-Commissioned Officer

Are you attracted to knowledge of ammunition, teamwork, and adventure? If so, Defense has a unique challenge for you: the function of non-commissioned officer ammunition technician. As a team leader, you will be responsible on a daily basis for the identification, technique, transport, and storage of all types of ammunition that exist in Defense. You will be in charge of a team of ammunition technicians who will be assigned to you for the execution of this mission. As part of a mission abroad or a (inter)national military exercise, you are expected to be able to accomplish these tasks independently, flexibly and professionally, always with the necessary support and collegiality!

• As an ammunition renovator, safety is paramount for you. You will be responsible for the inspection, storage and reconditioning of ammunition throughout Belgium and abroad.
• IT tools, necessary for management, do not scare you. In short, the world of logistics in general and ammunition in particular fascinates you and putting theory into practice is your passion.
• Above all, you are a military person, so you keep your military knowledge and skills up to date. Missions and/or exercises abroad are also part of your daily life.

• You have no problem being away from home for long periods (during exercises and operations).

• You like to coach your colleagues so that they improve their work.
