At Thales, we know technology has the ability to make our world more secure, sustainable, and inclusive – and that it's all driven by human intelligence.

Because it takes human intelligence to build and power the systems and solutions that people depend on every day. So we stay curious and make space for diverse points of view. We share what we know and we challenge what's possible.

From manufacturing and engineering to cybersecurity and space, we're driving progress in some of the world's most important industries – and working together to build a future we can all trust.

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.

The role

Opportunity for a Head of Discipline – ILS Engineering to join our team based in Garden Island or Newcastle. You will play a pivotal role in leading and managing a team of ILS and LSA practitioners and engineers. Your role includes integrating logistic support throughout the lifecycle of systems on Naval Platforms and supporting Thales' broader engineering functions.

The ILS discipline specialises in the management and technical process through which logistic support considerations are integrated into the design and throughout the life cycle of systems onboard Naval Platforms to achieve program objectives. Activities include technical writing of operator, maintenance and training manuals/programs, performing risk assessments (ie. FMECA), reliability studies, maintenance engineering analysis and product support analysis.

Your primary responsibilities include providing professional leadership and engineering services, guiding major bids and projects, and supporting the continuous improvement of AWS Engineering.

Responsibilities will include;

  • Lead, mentor, and develop direct reports, fostering their professional growth within the engineering community.
  • Provide direction and advice on major bids and projects, ensuring alignment with customer requirements and engineering standards.
  • Conduct workforce planning and management for the ILS Engineering discipline, optimising resource allocation and competency management.
  • Lead engineering activities for major projects and serve as Principal Design Authority when required
  • Ensure compliance with Product and Process Policy, manage technical risks, and estimate projects for competitive tenders.

Your Experience

  • Tertiary qualifications in ILS or a Masters qualification. Chartered Professional Engineer (EA) preferred.
  • 15+ years of ILS experience, with 7+ years on Naval or Maritime Platforms.
  • Strong leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills, with the ability to lead technical teams effectively.
  • Demonstrated capacity for continuous improvement and strategic vision.
  • Proficiency in digital toolsets such as IPESA, JIRA, DOORS, Objective, and other relevant software engineering tools.
  • Ability to empower and unite employees around clear objectives, acting as a coach and servant leader.

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.
