Together, we are a multi-disciplinary advisory and delivery partner of choice for our clients in Defence and National Security.

What You'll Do

This role offers a broad scope, with key responsibilities including:

  • Act as the Training Manager for SEA4000 Phase 6, coordinating across internal and external training stakeholders to ensure alignment of training deliverables with capability outcomes.
  • Provide training assurance and updates to project leadership including the Project Director, Integrated Project Manager, ILS Manager, FIC Manager, and S4KPH3/3.3 Project Manager
  • Present training progress and status briefs at Integrated Project Management Team (IPMT) meetings as required.

What You'll Bring

  • Strong understanding of the SADL framework, Navy schoolhouse structure, and maritime training pipelines.
  • Project management qualifications or experience leading complex integrated work packages.
  • Familiarity with Aegis and AusCMS training environments highly desirable.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills and stakeholder management ability.

Due to the nature of the work, you are required to currently hold and maintain a minimum Negative Vetting 1 or higher Security clearance as required by the Commonwealth. In some instances, compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements may also be an inherent requirement.

More than anything, you'll bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes for our clients.
