Description:You will be the Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) Battery Lead for the THAAD Missile Defense Team. Our team partners with the Royal Saudi Air Defense Force (RSADF) to operate, maintain, and emplace the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, while supporting U.S. Army material management standards.

What You Will Be Doing:

As the CLS Battery Lead you will be the day to day focal point for 2 5 logistics specialists, guiding all maintenance, sustainment, and training activities for the THAAD battery. You’ll split your time between a 2 to 4 year OCONUS deployment in KSA and a CONUS home base at Fort Bliss, TX, where you’ll complete pre deployment training and coordinate with program leadership.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Acting as the primary CLS point of contact for RSADF operational leaders, providing clear status and advice on THAAD maintenance.
• Supervising and directing the daily work of 2 5 CLS personnel to ensure compliance with U.S. Army Material Maintenance Management concepts and procedures.
• Delivering field and sustainment level maintenance support for THADF equipment, including troubleshooting beyond the Enhanced Operator/Maintainer (EOM) level.
• Managing the RSADF maintenance and sustainment program: scheduling services, overseeing system upgrades, and coordinating modifications.
• Preparing and delivering transition training so RSADF maintainers assume full responsibility for the battery.
• Conducting daily maintenance briefings with the RSADF Commander (or designated rep) and reporting status and administrative requirements to senior leadership.
• Requesting Engineering Reach Back support for complex issues and ensuring rapid resolution.
• Maintaining open, candid communication channels with RSADF, U.S. Government representatives, and Lockheed Martin leadership to build trust and confidence.
• Living on site in housing near the KSA THAAD battery and participating in all required pre deployment and sustainment activities.

This role offers a unique blend of technical challenge, cultural immersion, and strategic impact—directly supporting a cornerstone of allied missile defense capability. You’ll gain extensive hands on experience with cutting edge THAAD systems, develop deep relationships with Saudi and U.S. defense partners, and enjoy the career building benefits of long term overseas assignment while still anchored to a supportive home base at Fort Bliss.
