**The Role**
Do you want to take your career to the next level?

Do you want to challenge yourself across some of the most complex and challenging projects in Australia, if not the world?

Do you want to enhance your technical skills?

As an APS5 Technician, working in the Explosive Materiel Branch (EMB) in the Department of Defence, you will be working on some of the most exciting and complex guided weapons and explosive ordnance products used by the Australian Defence Force.

You will spend your days:

- Investigating, reporting and performing technical assessments that support Defence materiel capability life cycle, planning and delivering critical technical activities.
- Providing technical explosive ordnance electronic-mechanical advice to stakeholders.
- Mentoring junior members.
- Engaging with stakeholders to deliver and exercise appropriate technical delegations.

There may be some domestic business travel associated with this position. We currently have vacancies in Stirling, Western Australia and offer rewarding careers where you can excel as we invest in your growth, providing direction, leadership and recognition.

**About our Team**
Maritime Explosive Ordnance Systems Program Office (MEOPSO) is an integral part of Explosive Materiel Branch (EMB) within Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) Delivery Division, which is part of GWEO Group. Our team is made up of various disciplines (including engineering, project management, commercial, logistics, and corporate enabling services). We are located in Canberra, Penrith, Ipswich, RAAF Amberley and Rockingham (HMAS Stirling) and our focus is to acquire and sustain guided weapons and munitions for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). EMB is dedicated to providing our staff with a diverse, manageable, favourable work-life balance, and we support flexible working arrangements.

We will also invest in your training and development to ensure your time with us is deeply rewarding, both personally and professionally. We are committed to achieving a workplace culture that is inclusive and diverse; one which directly reflects the needs and scope of Defence’s varied operational requirements. EMB is a group of approximately 560 dedicated employees. Our mission is acquiring and sustaining guided weapons and munitions for the ADF across the life-cycle phases: requirements setting; contracting; procurement; international logistics; domestic manufacturing; item management and maintenance, and co-ordination of disposal activities.

EMB partners with domestic and international industry to deliver materiel capability to Defence, managing a multibillion-dollar portfolio of complex, high-profile acquisitions and sustainment activities to support the ADF. Our people are capable, innovative, committed and diverse. We support an inclusive culture, that emphases respect and collaboration. In EMB, you will enjoy experiences and opportunities that, as an APS employee, you simply would not get with any other organisation.

Other benefits include:

- 15.4% superannuation.
- Access to personalised professional development pathways, including opportunities for Defence-funded post-graduate study.
- Additional leave days between Christmas and New Year.
- Focus on work/life balance.
- Salary sacrifice opportunities.

EMB is seeking an experienced technician to join our growing team who:

- Can demonstrate superior technical skills, with motivation to be innovative, and to challenge traditional ways of conducting business.
- Has great time management skills and ability to mentor integrated teams to achieve results in a collaborative and inclusive manner.
- Has exemplar communication skills, with an ability to confidently influence and engage with stakeholders with diverse backgrounds and seniority.
- Is passionate about ongoing self-improvement, and professional development for your staff.
- Has an ability to support complex electronic-mechanical technical activities, whilst maintaining integrity, and fostering a positive team culture.

If you are someone who:

- Enjoys supporting challenging and complex technical assessments.
- Is creative, pragmatic and solutions focussed.
- Is not afraid to challenge the traditional ways of doing business.
