Canberra, Australia Downer Group Full time

At Downer Professional Services, 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 _**

As the **Capability Manager, **you will support the delivery and transition of key project capabilities, overseeing project management, assessments, and coordination across teams. You will prepare documentation, assist with approvals, and ensure alignment with broader organizational goals. This role involves consulting with various stakeholders to inform capability assessments and ensure smooth integration throughout the project lifecycle with the Royal Australian Airforce.

To succeed in this endeavour, you will:

- Provide specialist support and advice for key systems, including aircraft and associated electronic warfare (EW) systems, to meet project milestones.
- Manage project activities for the introduction and transition of capabilities including training systems.
- Conduct and document capability management assessments and introduction into service reviews.
- Coordinate project efforts with the Air Combat Program and broader Defence Intelligence and EW initiatives.
- Prepare and review project documentation, assisting with approvals and capability assessments to support ongoing development and integration efforts.

**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 have and maintain a minimum Negative Vetting 1 (NV1) Security clearance as required by the Commonwealth.
- Previous experience in a similar role, ideally within the Defence or professional services industries.
- A natural ability to build trusted relationships with team members, customers, and partners.
- Hold strong experience in Capability Management within Defence Industry
- Experience with the Airforce is highly desired, however not mandatory
- 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 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.
