We work in a thriving sector - one that puts us at the forefront of exciting and meaningful work. Every day we push boundaries to produce some of the world's most innovative and groundbreaking technology, including SSN AUKUS. We have been selected by the Australian Government to jointly build the nation's conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines. Every role in our SSN AUKUS team is helping to deliver essential sovereign capability for Australia.

BAE Systems is recognised for delivering projects of global and national significance that help keep Australia safe, it is our shared passion that shapes our culture, and our people that make it a great place to work.

We have an exciting opportunity for two experienced Project Managers to join the AUKUS Program with BAE Systems, based in our Flinders St Offices in Adelaide, on a permanent, full-time basis.

The successful candidates will oversee stakeholder coordination, governance and end-to-end management of Government and Contractor Furnished items as well as ensuring alignment, compliance and continuous improvement across integration activities.

Flexible work options are available, including a 9-day fortnight and hybrid working arrangements, to help you balance work and life.

• Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration: Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal teams, the Shipbuilder, industry partners, and Commonwealth stakeholders to ensure alignment, transparency, and effective communication across all furnished item and integration activities.

• GFx/CFx Coordination: Provide clear guidance to the Shipbuilder on identifying and requesting Government Furnished (GFx) and Contractor Furnished (CFx) items. Oversee the end-to-end process to ensure timely availability, including logistics, storage, access, and issue resolution.
