  • Work with purpose delivering critical defence projects and programs for Australia
  • Investment in you - learning opportunities, experienced mentors and accessible leadership

At DPS, you'll find purpose, impact and huge opportunity. Join us and help make it happen.

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 have an opportunity for a Technical Writer within one of our Defence engagements that will lead the engagement with external stakeholders to ensure requirements are appropriately captured and turned into mature work package presentation for approval.

They will also be responsible for:

  • Work with the Delivery Manager and Server Engineer to ensure system documentation is appropriately captured and presented to ensure effective transition into sustainment for ongoing BAU support needs.
  • Assist the Delivery Manager and Server Engineer to ensure Architecture and Security Accreditation documentation is effectively and professionally presented in order to streamline coordination and approval activities.

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:

  • Current NV2 security clearance
  • Previous experience working with CASG/JCG.
  • Strong communication skills, and you'll also be an analytical thinker who loves solving complex problems.

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.

Why Downer Professional Services?

At Downer Professional Services, you'll find the opportunity to build something remarkable. Here are some of the reasons why our people love working here:

Work with purpose. You'll deliver or enable critical defence projects and programs in Australia, for Australia. Your expertise will help build sovereign capability.

Great projects, influence and impact. You might join us for the projects, but we think you'll stay for the impact you can have. With high project ownership, agile problem solving and accessible leaders, you can go further at Downer Professional Services.

Your opportunity to build something remarkable. We're proud of all we've achieved. But there's much more to do. Together, we're building a better, stronger, more agile Downer Professional Services. From process and systems to culture and communications, we're working hard to enable our teams to do their best work, whoever and wherever they are.

We encourage you to join us on our greatest endeavour. We'll support and recognise your contribution, and you'll also enjoy a range of benefits including:

  • Veteran support initiatives and policies, including up to 20 days of Reservist Leave for veterans to remain connected as they transition out of active service.
  • An Employee Assistance Program providing access to professionals to support you (and your family) to achieve your personal or professional goals through wellbeing coaching, counselling, financial advice, legal advice and more.
  • Affordable healthcare covers, discounted car purchase and rental (with selected brands), and other retail discounts.
