Your new role
We invite you to bring your ideas, take calculated risks, drive innovation, solve problems, seek and provide feedback, and be hands-on. Together, we will redefine what is possible. Working with this established client, you have a unique opportunity to directly contribute to this top-secret innovative defence company's capability, coming in at the start, to see through this landmark project to completion.
