Canberra, Australia Australian Government Department of Defence Full time


The Role

As an APS 6 Contract Management Officer within the Air and Surface Surveillance and Control (ASSC) Branch in CASG, you will be accountable under broad direction to undertake complex commercial contract management activities, ensuring compliance with Defence’s business objectives, legislation, procurement policies, processes and procedures.

Your role will largely focus on the Branch’s Integrated Workforce Package (IWP). As such, you will monitor and manage contract administration, performance and risks against the IWP contract, contribute to appropriate action and suggest opportunities for improvement. 

This will entail preparing and delivering a variety of procurement related documentation including correspondence; reports, plans and strategies, risk and performance reviews, contract change proposals and other contract management documentation.

The role will require you to engage with a variety of internal and external stakeholders as you respond to complex enquiries and contract management issues, taking the initiative to identify alternative courses of action where necessary. 

You will also be required to identify, anticipate and respond to stakeholders’ needs and expectations to achieve work unit and Defence outcomes. 

The additional payment is a Building Defence Capability Payment (BDCP) which enables Defence to provide a premium, in addition to the rate of salary otherwise payable under the Enterprise Agreement (EA) to some or all of the jobs within a critical occupation(s) or discipline within a workplace. Applicants engaged into a BDCP position must consider the following. BDCPs provide remuneration in addition to the Defence Enterprise Agreement (EA).

This arrangement is subject to meeting eligibility criteria and is subject to annual review. Should your performance fall beyond requirements or the eligibility criteria not be met, your eligibility for the BDCP may be reviewed and ceased. It may also be ceased should you change positions or the requirement for the BDCP is no longer necessary, as determined by Defence. Should the BDCP be ceased you will be advised and your BDCP additional payment will cease.
