Key responsibilities

  • Assist the ORBIS lead in supporting the transition to SSN sustainment through the AUKUS program milestones.

  • Provide strategic and tactical program management to establish and sustain I and D level SSN capabilities at ASC.

  • Coordinate with US and Australian partners to conduct gap analysis, evaluate findings, and develop plans to address capability gaps.

Job description

Job Description
  • As an ORBIS AUKUS Optimal Pathway Readiness Manager, you will assist the ORBIS lead in assisting ASC in 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 strategic vision and tactical program management with respect to establishing and sustaining I and D level SSN Sustainment capabilities at ASC in support of Virginia and future submarine classes. As an experienced and innovative program manager, you will lead ORBIS efforts to identify, quantify, and address gaps between current state capabilities and future state requirements across nuclear, non-nuclear, and industrial facility capabilities under the guidance of the ORBIS Readiness Program Director. 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.
  • This job includes support to the ORBIS intermediate and depot level program managers as requested.
  • You will produce content for client related CDRLS and instructions associated with the support systems integrated with readiness including, maintenance, support and test equipment, engineering, and nuclear stewardship.
  • 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 conduct briefings to flag level leadership, attend stakeholder engagements (CONUS and OCONUS), and provide periodic written reports to ensure all stakeholders are apprised of AUKUS status and developments.
Required Skills and Experiences
  • Motivated self-starter with a willingness to take on a challenge that is loosely defined, yet critical to maintaining allied maritime superiority.
  • Proven experience in requirements management and utilization of requirements/schedule management tools, like MS Project or Primavera P6.
  • Direct nuclear submarine sustainment experience at both the I and D level, with at least 10 years of experience in related leadership positions.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.
  • Excellence in written communication skills is mandatory.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and priorities under a tight timeline within a fixed budget.
  • Strong fact-finding, problem-solving, and decision-making skills supported by a willingness to accept authority and accountability for program success.
  • Working knowledge of Foreign Military Sales (FMS), attack submarine sustainment (O/I/D level maintenance), with shipyard or submarine tender maintenance experience a plus.
  • Proficiency in MS 365 applications
  • PMP or equivalent is desired
  • Must be able to qualify for a work visa and be able to travel for up to20% of the time.
  • This job does not require or support transition to Australia.
