ApplyWe are Northrop Grumman Australia (NGA). Our 800 strong team is leveraging unparalleled global resources to deliver sovereign Defence capability aligned to the Government’s priorities across Aeronautics, Mission Critical Systems, Space and Guided Weapons. As we build our business and our capabilities, we are also developing a reputation as a great place to work. Help us define what is possible for our nation and for your career.
The Role:
Australia's sovereign solid rocket motor capability can’t be built by a single factory or supplier. It will be built by developing an home-grown, industrial ecosystem capable of supporting production for decades to come.
Northrop Grumman Australia is helping establish the nation's sovereign solid rocket motor manufacturing capability through the Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) enterprise. This role will play a key part in developing the Australian supplier network needed to support this future production.
You'll work across Australian industry, program leadership, engineering teams and Northrop Grumman US specialists to identify capability gaps, develop suppliers and build the manufacturing capacity needed to support future production requirements.
The suppliers are not all there yet. Some have capability today but need support to scale. Others have the foundations but require qualification, certification and investment before they can play a meaningful role in the supply chain. Your focus is helping industry move from potential to capability, and then capability to production readiness.
Working backwards from future manufacturing milestones, you'll help shape the plans, partnerships and supplier development activities needed to support Australia's long-term sovereign manufacturing objectives.
Brisbane or Canberra based. Hybrid working and a 9 day fortnight option available.
Australian Citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain an NV1 security clearance is mandatory.
Key Responsibilities
About You
You might come from Defence, manufacturing, supply chain, engineering, industry development or major project environments.
The common thread is your ability to build trusted relationships and navigate complex stakeholder networks.
You'll likely enjoy:
You won’t need to be the deepest technical expert in the room. Our engineers will support the technical complexity. Your strength is connecting the right people, asking the right questions and helping move important work forward.
What we Offer
We have built our benefits to help you define your possible.
