**The Role**
The APS 5 Explosive Ordnance (EO) Assurance Officer is to assist in undertaking complex EO assurance activities within given regions. They will work within a team and a framework of legislation, regulations, established principles, work practices and procedures in accordance with Defence’s mission and business objectives.

Your role is to assist Defence units to understand and comply with the assurance and governance requirements of Explosive Ordnance (EO) management. Travel can be expected within the region and more extensively to support other Assurance Officers nationally. You will routinely interact with a broad range of stakeholders including APS and ADF personnel, as well as contractors/service delivery partners to achieve EO assurance.

Building effective relationships with all EO stakeholders within Defence is critical. Additionally, this position will draft detailed reports that capture EO assurance activity outcomes, systemic issues, Corrective Action Requests and, as required, make recommendations for remedial actions.

The Explosive Ordnance Assurance Officer will work in an office based environment; however, will be required to carry out work at ADF units to conduct Explosive Ordnance assurance audits. This will require work using computers to develop reports, and outdoor work to assist with assurance activities. There will be a requirement from time to time to walk some distance, bending and lifting 0-15kgs.

**About our Team**
Joint Explosive Ordnance Support (JEOS) is a mixed military and civilian organisation, and an integral part of Explosive Ordnance Branch, Joint Logistics Command. JEOS is responsible for the provision of detailed Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Explosive Ordnance (EO) Assurance, EO technical advice, and logistic support to meet the Defence EO assurance and governance policies.

JEOS supports a range of ADF activities and provides EO assurance on behalf of the Competent Authority.

JEOS currently provides detailed EO logistic support to numerous EO user units who require differing levels of technical engagement and support to meet the Defence EO assurance and governance policies. As most EO user units do not have access to local EO specialists, they rely on JEOS for continual support and guidance.

We are seeking a highly motivated, enthusiastic and collaborative Assurance Officer who has:

- A background in and/or familiarity with governance and assurance (highly desirable).
- A background in explosives/explosive ordnance safety and inventory management systems (highly desirable).
- An ability to work within the guidelines of an assurance program, legislative frameworks, policy requirements, practices and procedures.
- Demonstrated time management skills and displays attention to detail.
- Good written, verbal, negotiation and communication skills and the confidence to engage with stakeholders at all levels, internally and external to Defence, to achieve desired outcomes.
- The ability to work individually and with others within a small dynamic and dedicated team.
