Logistics & Maintenance Operations Analyst

Leidos is seeking a Logistics & Maintenance Operations Analyst to independently lead and integrate logistics and sustainment activities supporting new lifecycle prototype equipment.

The position translates program requirements into executable support plans and coordinates the equipment, transportation, facilities, supplies, technical information, and resources necessary to sustain operational capability and readiness.

Responsibilities cover mission preparation, test-site activation, support during testing, site closure, equipment recovery, and preparation for subsequent missions.

The individual should be able to anticipate requirements, resolve logistics challenges, and advise program leadership on readiness, resources, and operational risks.

This position provides functional leadership without direct personnel supervisory responsibility.

Primary Responsibilities

• Translate program requirements, statements of work, test plans, and assigned logistics deliverables into coordinated activities, resource requirements, and schedules.
• Integrate maintenance, supply, provisioning, technical data, training, support equipment, facilities, and transportation requirements with engineering and test activities.
• Plan and coordinate vehicle and equipment transportation to and from test events, including carrier arrangements, loading and unloading, access requirements, movement documentation, and shipment tracking.
• Coordinate packing, handling, shipping, and transportation in accordance with applicable DoD regulations, standards, and program requirements.
• Establish test-site logistics support, including equipment reception, staging, storage, material-handling equipment, utilities, workspace, and site access.
• Serve as the logistics coordination point during testing, resolving support issues and adjusting arrangements as schedules and conditions change.
• Maintain accountability for government-furnished equipment, including receipt, custody, location, condition, movement, inventories, transfers, and returns.
• Use Costpoint to initiate and track requisitions for spares, repair parts, consumables, and supporting materials.
• Identify shortages, long-lead items, and replenishment requirements.
• Coordinate maintenance, repair actions, tools, test equipment, and replacement assets to maintain equipment availability.
• Ensure required operating instructions, maintenance procedures, parts information, and training are available before equipment use.
• Conduct logistics readiness assessments and report equipment status, support gaps, risks, recommended actions, and decisions required from program leadership.
• Coordinate site closure, equipment inspections, inventories, packing, return transportation, and restoration or turnover of test areas.
• Plan equipment repair, replenishment, reconfiguration, and movement for follow-on missions.
• Develop logistics resource requirements and provide cost, schedule, and basis-of-estimate inputs for assigned program activities.
• Develop contingency plans and incorporate lessons learned into logistics support plans, procedures, and readiness preparations.

Minimum Required Qualifications

• Typically requires a Bachelor's degree and 12 – 15 years of prior relevant experience or Master's with 10 – 13 years of prior relevant experience.
• Relevant experience in maintenance, logistics and transportation documentation, maintenance documentation, or a related professional discipline.
• Experience independently developing complex technical documentation for defence or similarly complex systems.
• Ability to support multiple programs, projects, or technical product lines concurrently.

• Demonstrated operational experience planning and coordinating logistics support for field activities, equipment testing, site activation, and sustainment requirements across multiple programs.
• Experience delivering classroom and hands-on instruction, developing training materials, and assessing personnel proficiency in equipment operation, logistics procedures, or sustainment tasks.
• US Citizenship and eligibility to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Senior-level experience supporting DoD logistics, sustainment, equipment testing, fielding, or comparable operations.
• Demonstrated ability to independently plan and integrate complex logistics requirements across multiple organisations.
• Experience with vehicle and equipment transportation, site activation, operational support, and site closure.
• Knowledge of applicable packing, handling, shipping, and transportation requirements.
• Experience with government property accountability, inventories, custody transfers, and discrepancy resolution.
