What You’ll Do

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

Support end‑to‑end delivery of multiple LAND 4140 work packages , maintaining integrated schedules, managing critical‑path risks and coordinating across acquisition, engineering, cyber, safety, testing and sustainment.

Lead planning, controls and governance activities , developing PM artefacts, managing risks, costs and reporting, and preparing executive‑ready inputs for Gate Reviews and senior submissions.

Coordinate complex technical integration , including SATCOM, BTN, TCN and platform interfaces, and oversee user evaluations, AT&E/OT&E and issue resolution with engineering, test and ILS teams.

Engage effectively with Defence stakeholders , including Army HQ, LC4, LC4S sustainment groups and industry partners, navigating complex environments and driving alignment.

Manage through‑life support and sustainment transition , ensuring FIC readiness, defining support arrangements with CA31, and coordinating CDT resources and risks for transition to IIS.
