On behalf of RMC-E and the National Shipbuilding and Sustainment Group (NSSG), the EL 1Business Manager within the Commercial team of the RMC-E will work under the guidance of EL 2 Commercial Director.
This exciting opportunity will offer a considerable degree of independence and allow you to leverage your leadership experience within a small team. You will build rapport with your team, peers and stakeholders and apply your complex problem solving and management skills to deliver RMC-E outcomes.
You will be responsible for oversight on a broad range of internal business functions such Operations and Facilities Management, Governance and Audit, Data Analysis and reporting, Security and risk management within the RMC-E.
With a strong knowledge of Australian Public Service processes and policies, you will foster a culture of effective and responsible resource management by translating and applying administrative, operational, technical and resource requirements to RMC-E activities and deliver required reporting.
While driving appropriate governance over internal resourcing processes, service delivery will be at the forefront to support the achievement of RMC-E activities.
As a guide, the EL1 Business Manager will lead a multidisciplinary team within the RMC-E to:
- Investigate, recommend and provide advice and assistance on matters related to Operations and Facilities Management, Governance and Audit, Data Analysis and reporting, Security and Risk Management;

- Support, where necessary, efficient and effective delivery of Regional Maintenance Provider (RMP) and other contracts.
RMC-E is playing a central role to implement Plan Galileo, which sets out an ambitious but achievable reform program for surface fleet sustainment. Realising the Plan will ensure Defence can support the significantly larger and more complex fleet of vessels that results from Continuous Naval Shipbuilding. It will also enhance Navy’s agility and ability to surge from strategic locations across Australia, particularly to key operational areas in the Pacific.
Development of sovereign sustainment capability is key, so Defence has the workforce, systems, tools, supply chains and infrastructure to support the future fleet. The team will oversee the maintenance provider for a new Defence regional maintenance centre, co-ordinating and scheduling maintenance for Navy vessels, as well as building resilient local and regional supply chains working with large, distributed and high profile team. RMC-E will contribute to the delivery of continuous sustainment to the complex naval capability resulting from Continuous Naval Shipbuilding and ensure Navy respond to changing operational requirements.
The Business Management function will include Risk Management position that will be able to Audit and therefore ensure Compliance of Contractors and Report on risk to CoA.
