Canberra, Australia Downer Group Full time

Work on leading-edge projects for key Defence clientele
- Take advantage of an established and broad portfolio of strategic engagements
- Investment in you - learning opportunities, experienced mentors and accessible leadership

**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**

As the new Commercial Manager, you will support the commercial risk across the capability and procurement life cycles, helping Defence meet its objectives, maximise value for money and meet legislative and mandatory requirements. You will also provide a range of commercial services, including procurement, contracting, commercial support, commercial policy, and practice commercial professionalisation, governance and assurance.

To succeed in this endeavour, you will:

- Engagement with customers to inform the development of innovative and tailored commercial strategies and plans
- Budget forecasting, vendor management, Section 23 delegation, S&Q Services
- Managing and allocating risk appropriately and maximising value for money
- Tailoring of tender and contract documents and procurement processes to give effect to commercial strategies and comply with Commonwealth requirements

**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:

- You must hold a current NV1 security clearance or higher.

We’re also looking for:

- A relevant tertiary degree qualification in Laws, or extensive experience within commercial, contracts and procurement in Defence.
- An understanding of the Defence Capability Life Cycle
- Working knowledge and experience using Defence procurement and finance systems
- Experienced in the use of ASDEFCON templates
- Experience in building trusted & valued relationships with project team members, customers & partners

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 DPS, 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 DPS.

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 DPS. 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.
