Our Team:

Our Above Water Systems team designs and engineers commercial and naval ships – as well as providing in-service support capabilities. We’re proud to bolster Australia’s sovereign capability through operational support to our Navy.

Engage with customers and stakeholders, delivering practical, sustainable solutions and maintaining strong working relationships.
Oversee project delivery, ensuring schedules, budgets, and contractual requirements are met.
Champion workplace standards, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and compliance are consistently achieved.

About You:

You are a confident and capable leader with a proven track record of managing technical teams in dynamic, hands-on environments. You bring strong people management skills, a focus on team development, and a collaborative approach to achieving shared goals.

You will ideally have:

10+ years’ experience leading and managing technical teams, preferably in mechanical or engineering environments.
Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to inspire, guide, and develop others.
Technical qualifications in a mechanical or related trade/discipline.
Diploma in Leadership and Management (or willingness to obtain within 12 months).
