Highly Desirable

• Maritime systems experience
• Degree qualification in Engineering
• CPEng and/or RPEQ accreditation
• Previous experience within a Systems Program Office, CASG or similar Defence capability environment
• Experience operating within Defence engineering governance and technical authority frameworks

Important

Our client is specifically seeking candidates with established Defence engineering experience, particularly across engineering leadership, governance, capability transition and stakeholder engagement.

Candidates whose backgrounds are primarily focused on technical design, PMO support or project coordination without the required Defence engineering experience are unlikely to be suitable.

A current NV1 security clearance is a mandatory requirement. Candidates without this clearance will not be considered.
