About you

You will be self-motivated and have a natural ability to invite trust from clients to draw out their true needs and aspirations. You will also have the skills to support the implementation of strategies and good practices at a project or Enterprise level that challenges how things are done and entrenched cultural attitudes.

You will have a fundamental understanding of what makes an organisation tick.

You will have had exposure to clients operating with financial constraints, procurement strategies, and engineering design practices and life cycles including change management, inventory and configuration management, and process tailoring, within a defence environment.

We expect you to share our passion for creating a more environmentally and socially sustainable future for all our stakeholders
