  • Share technical expertise, support training, drive best practices, and foster continuous improvement
  • Ensure all work meets WHS legislation and BAE Systems SHE policies
  • Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, Operations, and Support Systems teams to deliver safe, effective solutions
Requirements:
  • 5–10 years' experience in commissioning and/or maintenance of mechanical systems
  • Experience with hydraulic systems and/or mechanical elements of propulsion systems is highly regarded
  • Hands-on experience in testing, commissioning, and verification of systems
  • Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical, or an equivalent/higher industry-recognised mechanical qualification
  • Strong problem-solving and teamwork skills
  • Skilled in planning and coordination to keep tasks on track
  • Proficient with computer-based commissioning documentation, risk assessments, and work instructions
  • Professional, technically sharp, and capable of working independently
Benefits:

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be able to work effectively in a team environment, and possess strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. A competitive salary and benefits package will be offered to the successful candidate.

The position offers a unique opportunity to work with a leading organization in the defense and manufacturing sectors. The selected individual will have the chance to develop their skills and expertise while contributing to the delivery of high-quality products and services.
