About The Position

The Zipline SkillBridge program provides transitioning service members the opportunity to gain work experience through an internship during their final 180 days of service. Zipline offers both structured instruction and on-the-job training through a 3-4 month internship. This is not a general employment opportunity. This role is only open to active-duty U.S. military service members who have been approved (or are eligible for approval) to participate in the DoW SkillBridge program. Applications from candidates who are not SkillBridge-eligible cannot be considered.

As a Logistics Specialist SkillBridge trainee, you will own the material and asset flow that enables safe, efficient maintenance operations. You will partner with maintenance, fleet operations, quality, supply chain, and transportation teams. Success means reliable material availability, accurate inventory and asset records, compliant hub vehicles, and fewer avoidable maintenance delays.
