A real endeavour, achieved with you

As Australia’s multi-disciplinary advisory and business partner of choice for clients in defence, government and infrastructure, we deliver complex things that matter. It's not always an easy task, but anything worthwhile seldom is. Great things are rarely accomplished alone. We’re building something remarkable. Now we just need you.

A real endeavour, shaped by you

We’re proud of all we’ve achieved so far but there’s still much more to do. We are working with a government agency on a capability upgrade program. Your role as Network and Systems Engineering Manager will provide systems and system-of-systems engineering advice, integration and dependency analysis, and conducting research.

In this senior role, you will lead complex activities and tasks relating to requirements development, system definition, design and development, integration, verification and validation. This person will plan, organise, integrate and deliver complex systems engineering services and products, whilst working cohesively and flexibly with the broader project team, key business partners and stakeholder groups.

A real endeavour, driven by you

Our work is highly complex and confidential, so there are some things you must have to fulfil this role:

• A seasoned Systems Engineering Manager, with a firm understanding of ICT Infrastructure, security principles, practices and technologies in both physical and virtual environments
• Demon Demonstrated knowledge and experience in the development of software and the usage of languages including C, Perl, SOAP/SAML, Java, and Bash/Python.
• Current TSPV or held TSPV in the last 12 months. PA preferred but not essential

More than anything, you’ll bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a drive to manage critical projects and programs that build sovereign capability and deliver complex things that matter.
