Melbourne City Centre, Australia Australian Government Department of Defence Full time

$85,607 - $97,790 (plus Super)
- Melbourne CBD - VIC

**The Role**
Work at the heart of a critical, national building Defence enterprise that is fast-tracking the delivery of Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO), in line with the Government’s announcements in the Defence Strategic Review. Working on a multi-billion dollar major Defence initiative, you’ll be part of the Program Delivery team embedded in the GWEO Delivery Division of the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG), supporting the warfighting needs of the Australian Defence Force.

As the contracting and procurement lead you will provide procurement planning advice, tendering and contract formation and contract management activities, ensuring compliance with legislation, procurement policies, processes and procedures. A major responsibility is working collaboratively with stakeholders to respond to complex enquiries and contract management issues, taking the initiative to identify alternative courses of action where necessary.

A strong contracting and procurement background, and an understanding of Defence contracting and procurement frameworks, would be highly desirable. There may be some domestic business travel associated with this position.

**About our Team**
The Program Delivery team is an integral part of GWEO Delivery Division - Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG). Our team is made up of various disciplines (including project management, logistics and sustainment). We are at the front line for the delivery of the GWEO Enterprise.

We are located in Canberra, with remote staff also supporting the team. We are dedicated to providing our staff with a manageable and 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.

Our people are capable, innovative, committed and diverse. We support an inclusive culture, that emphases respect and collaboration. In GWEO Delivery Division, 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; and
- salary sacrifice opportunities.

The right person for this role will be an individual who is committed to effective procurement and contract management, can influence outcomes and is able to demonstrate the adaptability and flexibility required to respond to the needs of their stakeholders. You will use your initiative to make informed decisions and solve complex problems under limited direction. You will enjoy working in a team to come together and excel in order to achieve organisational objectives, whilst continuing to pursue your own self-development goals.
