The Role:

We have opportunities for engineers with professional experience to join our growing Maritime Sustainment team in Sydney.

In this role, you will:

• Deliver engineering and sustainment support to Defence and Navy clients across the lifecycle of maritime capabilities.
• Apply engineering and systems thinking to help solve practical sustainment and technical challenges.
• Support the development and improvement of engineering, sustainment and through life management processes.

Our Ideal Candidate:

You are an early career engineer with strong technical foundations and an interest in applying your skills to complex engineering and sustainment challenges within the Defence Maritime environment.

You do not need to be an expert in maritime sustainment, but you will bring strong engineering fundamentals, sound professional judgement and the ability to contribute effectively from the outset. We are looking for engineers who are capable, curious and proactive, who can think critically, solve problems and take responsibility for delivering high quality work. You will work alongside experienced engineers and consultants while building broader experience across Defence Maritime sustainment and consulting.

You will bring:

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
• An interest in developing relationships and working collaboratively with clients and stakeholders.
• An interest in building your knowledge of Defence Maritime sustainment and developing your career within a consulting environment.

Having experience in any of the following would be advantageous, but is not essential:

• Defence, Navy, maritime or naval shipbuilding environments.
• Maritime sustainment or asset management.
• Systems Engineering.
• Integrated Logistics Support or through life support.
• Reliability, maintenance, configuration or engineering management.
