Jenna Webb - Looking for Direction – Found It!
Devonport’s Jenna Webb started off as an administrative assistant for a plumbing firm and now she’s managing the procurement needs of over 100 Air Force personnel.
The Reece High School and Don College graduate first joined the Air Force as a supply clerk in 2004. After gaining experience at various bases, she’s been promoted to Corporal and is now enjoying the sub-tropical life at 82 Wing Headquarters, RAAF Base Amberley in Queensland.
So what does Jenna’s job involve? “My role as NCO Procurement means I am responsible for the procurement needs of all the HQ staff, and I can also be part of exercises around Australia and overseas,” said Jenna.
“My job is highly sociable as I am required to interact with HQ staff on a daily basis to respond to their procurement needs for everything from basic stationery requisites to more complex procurement items. I am frequently in contact with various suppliers & my job also involves trips off base for local procurement needs.”
It’s given Jenna a chance to develop skills in budgeting, finance and reporting.
Jenna enjoys working with a diversity of associates and tasks but it’s not all work and no play. “One of the most valuable features of my work is the level of support I receive. It allows me to manage all aspects of my career and personal life with ease,” she said.
“I’ve embraced the experiences on exercises and postings around Australia.
“But I always look forward to that first beer back at the Warehouse.”
