The Role
The acquisition of conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarines is an historic and transformative endeavour for Australia. The whole-of-nation effort to safely and securely deliver the cutting edge nuclear-powered submarine program will transform Australia's economic and national security landscape for decades to come.
This unique opportunity will see you directly contributing to Australia's strategic Defence outcomes during an important time in our defence history. The Australian Submarine Agency (ASA) Virginia Program Office (VPO) supports the delivery of critical projects under the Nuclear Powered Submarine Program by providing strategic advice to ensure the compliant acquisition of critical aspects of Australia's sovereign nuclear powered submarine capability.
The Virginia Program Office is central to maintain ASA's relationships with AUKUS Partners through the development and management of Australia's most critical Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases and naval nuclear reactor arrangements. As an APS 6 Capability Analysist within the Virginia Program Office (VPO) Governance Directorate, you will play a diverse and exciting role covering various aspects of project governance, assurance and compliance.
This role is eligible for an additional remuneration benefit known in ASA as a Building Capability Payment (BCP). This enables ASA to provide a premium, in addition to the base salary otherwise payable under the ASA Enterprise Agreement, for positions in occupational disciplines/classifications that are critical to ASA capability. For further information, please contact the contact officer.
