Description
The Role
The successful candidate will have demonstrated ability in complex project planning and/or management, leadership under pressure, a history of effective stakeholder engagement, and the skills to operate in a challenging and ever-changing environment. Navy is looking for an organised and enthusiastic individual with well-developed planning, communication, teamwork and leadership skills.

About our Team
The Navy Logistics Branch includes the Navy Infrastructure directorates and is an integrated Branch comprised of APS, ADF and contractor team members. These teams contribute to infrastructure requirements identification, the development and shepherding of infrastructure projects through the necessary approvals process, they monitor project delivery and provide assurance to Navy's senior leadership on progress milestones and completion. Infrastructure projects are categorised as either new capability projects (e.g. introduction of a new ship) which may require dedicated infrastructure, or sustainment projects which seek to maintain the operational effectiveness of the existing Defence Estate (Defence bases). As the EL1 Infrastructure Projects Manager (Deputy Director), you will head up one of these teams.
The Navy Infrastructure directorates are also responsible for the strategic planning that ensures Navy has the right facilities and infrastructure in the right locations at the right time to support maritime capabilities. The Branch as a whole has a key role in working across Navy and Defence, in particular, advocating for Navy regarding the delivery of infrastructure and logistics services and facilities development.
