AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED FOR THIS POSITION: Yes RELOCATION ASSISTANCE: No relocation assistance available CLEARANCE TYPE: AU- Secret (NV1) TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time Description We are Northrop Grumman Australia (NGA). Our 800 strong team is leveraging unparalleled global resources to deliver sovereign Defence capability aligned to the Government’s priorities across Aeronautics, Mission Critical Systems, Space and Guided Weapons. As we build our business and our capabilities, we are also developing a reputation as a great place to work. Help us define what is possible for our nation and for your career.      The Role: Across the Northrop Grumman Australia business, our engineering processes, tools and governance have developed over time. We're now bringing these together into a more cohesive Engineering Management System, and this role will play a leading role in shaping that transition, translating strategy into practical outcomes across people, processes, tools and programs. You'll own the ongoing uplift of the EMS, helping define what good looks like and driving the initiatives needed to get there. Around half of your time will be focused on developing and delivering the EMS roadmap. The other half will see you working directly with program teams, engineering leads and capture activities, helping solve delivery challenges while identifying opportunities to improve how engineering is executed across the business. Success won't come from writing procedures. It will come from your ability to bring people with you, influence priorities, break complex work into achievable outcomes and maintain momentum when competing business demands inevitably emerge. The scope is broad. You'll work across systems engineering, design, technical services, business development and capture activities, with visibility across multiple programs rather than being tied to a single project. If your experience has given you a clear view of what good engineering governance and execution looks like, this role provides the platform to put that into practice at scale. This role is based in Fortitude Valley or Springfield, Queensland. Hybrid working arrangements and a 9-day fortnight are available.

You may come from Defence, aerospace, aviation, transport or another engineering-intensive environment and have experience working across multiple programs, stakeholders and competing priorities. You'll bring: • Experience leading engineering teams, capability initiatives or functional improvement programs. • Strong planning and delivery skills, with the ability to turn strategy into action. • Sound judgement when balancing priorities, resources and business needs. • Credibility with engineers, program leaders and senior stakeholders. • The ability to influence, build alignment and bring people with you through change.
