Melbourne, Australia Australian Government Department of Defence Full time


The Role
Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA) is offering an opportunity to join the Directorate of Initial Airworthiness as an Aviation Safety Assurance Officer (ASAO). Working within the Design Organisation Approval (DOA) team, the role is critical in projecting the Authority’s assurance function for those organisations that have been approved as either a Military Design Organisation or a Military Production Organisation supporting defence aviation. The role is multi-faceted and requires integration with adjacent product assurance teams within DASA and the regulated community. Being a safety assurance officer for the DOA team includes:

Conducting assurance and oversight activities of Military Design Organisations including the continued airworthiness domain for aircraft design; Conducting assurance and oversight activities of Defence Military Production Organisations; Evidence sampling and performing assessments of organisational compliance against regulations; and Assessing applications for various DASA-issued Authorisations. Authorisations in the DOA team vary from individuals, organisations and product approvals.
About our Team
DASA’s vision of ‘Capability First, Safety Always’ reflects our mission in supporting Defence aviation capability. Directorate of Initial Airworthiness (DIA) is providing assurance that safety risks are effectively managed. DIA-DASA contributes to this by:

Promulgating initial airworthiness policy and regulation; Certifying Defence aviation systems; and Overseeing design and production organisations.
DASA is a dynamic organisation formed in recent years. You will be able to influence how aviation safety is managed into the future for Defence, and play a part in current aviation capability. We offer a diverse range of work to develop your career in aviation safety and beyond. 

Working in the Defence Australian Public Service is both challenging and rewarding. You can make significant contributions to Australia, whilst supported by flexible employment conditions.

Our Ideal Candidate
 DASA is looking for a professional engineer who is passionate about aviation safety in the Defence context. As an ASAO, your contribution will have a critical bearing on promoting aviation safety outcomes. Possessing experience in design, production or management of safety critical systems within the aviation industry will be advantageous; as will knowledge pertaining to type certification and initial airworthiness concepts in either a civil or military context. 

For this role, you will draw on your broad experience to assess organisational performance and identify safety risks and therefore practical experience in evaluation of safety risks, or exposure to aviation safety is highly desirable. You are methodical in conducting oversight activities, and have a high attention to detail. You possess professionalism and a confident nature when providing high quality advice to senior engineering managers and key stakeholders. Your knowledge on the Defence Aviation Safety Regulations (DASR) and/or Aviation Safety Management Systems (ASMS) will be highly regarded.
