The Role:

We have a permanent, full-time opportunity at Manager or Senior Manager level within our Maritime Sustainment segment.

This is a delivery-focused role supporting Defence acquisition and sustainment clients to make better decisions under pressure, improve governance, and stay ahead of risk. You’ll work in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and be trusted to shape practical risk and opportunity approaches that protect schedule, cost, and capability outcomes.

Our Ideal Candidate:

This role suits a Manager or Senior Manager with a strong delivery mindset and substantive experience working in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. You may come from an engineering, project management or similar background, but critically, you bring a mature understanding of risk and opportunity management beyond pure technical delivery.

You will demonstrate:

  • A proactive, opportunity-focused approach to problem-solving
  • Confidence engaging with senior Navy and industry stakeholders
  • An entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to challenge assumptions and drive outcomes
  • Excellent coordination, communication and stakeholder management skills

Having these other abilities would also be awesome (but not mandatory):

  • Experience on large, complex maritime programs, or major platform sustainment or upgrade activities

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
