- Canberra - ACT, Edinburgh - SA, Williamtown - NSW

**The Role**
This is a federal APS government position that directly supports Defence’s Space and High Frequency (HF) Radar capabilities.

The position is a Project Support Officer - assuring that our Defence projects are executed on time and budget, and deliver capability to our Soldiers, Sailors and Aviators. The position will analyse, report, manage and approve risk based decisions that directly support critical project success.

Example tasks are: managing integrated project teams to debate and agree issue resolution and action plans; compilation, review and report project resources schedules - explaining the ‘why’; developing detailed business cases that support ministerial approvals.

The position level is APS6. You can research this level here.

**About our Team**
Do you want to support what Defence does ‘up there’ in the atmosphere? You can - our Space or High Frequency (HF) Radar teams know all about the atmosphere, and how we use it to defend Australia, and you can too. We are Wide Area & Space Surveillance Systems Program Office (WASS SPO), part of the Group that buys and sustains equipment for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). You can read more about Space here, and HF here.

We are an integrated team of contracted, ADF and APS staff - and we are seeking new APS members right now.

You DO NOT need to have worked in Defence But you do need to be motivated to learn about Space and/or HF Radar, and meet our requirements for Negative Vetting 1 Security Clearance to be in our team.

Our best performing team members are:

- Passionate about our Service - to defend the security and interests of the nation
- Courageous in face of challenges - to get the job done
- Respectfully engage with others - visually, verbally and virtually
- Understand Integrity - work within our Government policies
- Strive for Excellence - sufficient when we must, better when we can

Plus, we can support you to formally learn. Subject to eligibility, Defence offers ‘Study Bank’ support that can fund training costs and paid time off to gain a tertiary qualification.
