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. With ongoing training programs and a team of over 500, our people have room to grow and move as they make a meaningful contribution to Australia’s Defence.


About the role:


This role is exciting, challenging and rewarding; no two days will be the same! Based in Woolloomooloo, you will undertake bid and project management activities in the Above Water Systems business portfolio with a focus on supporting the bid team in ensuring the project objectives are achieved. You’ll take ownership of bids from start to finish — coordinating teams, shaping strategy, and turning complex requirements into clear, competitive proposals.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Lead and manage bids in line with Thales processes and business goals.
  • Work side-by-side with Capture Managers to make sure win themes and value propositions are carried through every part of the submission.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams to produce high-quality, compliant and compelling tenders.
  • Manage estimates and costings to meet “price-to-win” targets.
  • Engage with stakeholders across engineering, commercial, legal, and finance to bring everything together on time.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with customers, partners, and suppliers.
  • Prepare and present bid reviews, ensuring governance and reporting requirements are met.
  • Support and mentor junior bid managers as part of a collaborative bid community.

  • About You:

    • A degree in Business, Engineering, Project Management or similar.
    • APMP or IPMA certification (or the motivation to get it).
    • Experience managing bids or tenders involving multiple partners or subcontractors.
    • Strong leadership and communication skills — you’re comfortable bringing people together and getting things done.
    • Experience working within a complex organisation or matrix structure.
    • A focus on customers and the ability to manage relationships with professionalism and integrity.

    Desired:

    • Experience working within Defence or on ASDEFCON-based projects.
    • Exposure to the maritime domain or naval programs.

    We Encourage You To Apply

    After you have applied, you will receive an email acknowledging your application.

    We’ll then provide a personalised experience for suitable applicants as we progress the selection and assessment process.

    It’s easy to dismiss the perfect opportunity if you don’t see yourself as the perfect fit. If this role feels right – no matter your background or personal circumstances – please introduce yourself or join our community. We’re committed to supporting a diverse workplace, and that starts here.


    We’re proud to be endorsed by WORK180 as an Employer for All Women, but we know there’s always more we can do. We’ll continue to foster industry partnerships, employee resource groups (ERGs) and development opportunities to make Thales a genuinely equitable employer, for everyone.
