Our work is interesting and meaningful, contributing directly to Australia's national security.

About the Opportunity

ASC currently has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Supplier Quality Control Technical Officer to join our dedicated Supply Quality Control (SQC) team in Osborne, SA. Reporting directly to the SQC Team Lead, you will play a critical role in supporting Australia's sovereign submarine capability by ensuring material compliance through technical inspections and verification of Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) for incoming goods.

Responsibilities

• Conduct detailed technical inspections of parts, materials, components and supporting OQE received from a number of National and International suppliers.
• Review and verify OQE to ensure compliance with technical specifications and contractual requirements.
• Liaise with internal stakeholders, suppliers, and engineering teams to resolve quality issues and provide technical feedback.
• Document and report inspection outcomes, non-conformances, and supplier performance data.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across the supply chain to enhance quality and efficiency.
• Identify, recommend and actively support/participate in implementing strategies to improve SQC performance, minimise cost and better achieve SQC departmental schedules.
