The Role

Your role is characterised by collegiate development and refinement of systems and processes to monitor, manage and report through-life progress of AWC capabilities that support Air Force's contributions to Australia's joint-force capabilities.

Your position plays a crucial role in defining, assessing and prioritising the current and future equipment, ICT, facilities contracted service requirements of Air Warfare Centre's units.

You will develop and refine requirement documentation, with specialists in AWC directorates and units, justifying capability improvements against reported capability deficiencies or innovation initiatives and then identify funding options for procurement by developing business cases and briefs.

You will monitor and report the progress of programs that support sustainment of Air Force capabilities and develop systems and processes to monitor and manage these programs through each system's operating life.

About our Team

Working closely with all elements of the AWC, AWC Capability Development (CD) is a small team that communicates with Air Force units, Systems Program Offices and Defence delivery agencies and their contracted service providers, to assure AWC's directed operational outputs.

Over the longer-term, CD's focus is on timely (strategic) advice, provision, and acceptance into service of new capabilities that will continue to assure the future delivery AWC's directed operational capability outputs.

In the shorter-term, CD is a critical element in maintaining on-demand advice of the actual readiness status of AWC's available capabilities.

In the shorter to long-term, CD must develop and maintain, in conjunction with unit users/operators, the compliant policies and procedures for operating, monitoring and reporting on the wider through-life management, and eventual decommissioning, of AWC-controlled capability systems, services and facilities that support the sustainment of AWC's directed operational and tactical level operational outputs.

We are looking for a leader who will manage a small (up to four) team of public servants.

You will be a mid-career professional with an interest in developing a deep expertise across a wide range of Air Force capabilities; analysing problems, developing solutions and getting projects approved to deliver these solutions.

You will be familiar with project management processes, developing and documenting user requirements into business cases, and monitoring projects through to completion.

Your advanced communication skills will be necessary to provide high quality written and verbal advice to Air Force executives to speak for the needs of technical workforces when dealing with service providers.
