As the ORBIS AUKUS Assistant Chief Engineer (ACHENG), you will be the ORBIS lead in assisting our client to develop non-nuclear engineering capabilities to support the successful transition to SSN sustainment through the Optimal Pathway Milestones of the AUKUS program. These programs will initially support the Submarine Rotational Force - West (SRF-W) operational framework at HMAS Stirling to sustain Virginia Class Submarines. The program will then expand to depot level maintenance in West Australia. In parallel this position will also support ASC (and Australia's) transition to Sovereign Ready and Depot Level Maintenance.

You will provide technical requirements, manning requirements, training plans, and organizational structure with respect to establishing and sustaining I and D level SSN Sustainment non-nuclear engineering capabilities at ASC in support of Virginia and future submarine classes. As an experienced and innovative SSN sustainment engineer, you will lead ORBIS efforts to identify, quantify, and address gaps between current state capabilities and future state requirements across non-nuclear engineering capabilities. This includes coordinating with US and Australian partners to create gap analysis criteria, conduct evaluations, formalize the findings in reports, and construct plans to address the gaps. As a collaborator and change agent, you will act as a liaison between the ASC and ORBIS contributors, as well as external Australian and U.S. stakeholders.

Experience in SSN sustainment non-nuclear engineering will be necessary to carry out non-nuclear engineering requirements across multiple high value projects.

You will join a self-organizing team of professionals that span all competencies from operations to sustainment, so be prepared to act as a generalized specialist capable of taking on tasking outside of your specialty. You will attend stakeholder engagements (CONUS and OCONUS), and provide periodic written reports to ensure all stakeholders are apprised of AUKUS status and developments.
