These roles offer a variety of duties and the opportunity to make a real difference - you will contribute and support meeting the evolving shipbuilding workforce demand and supply needs of the NSS Enterprise through a coordinated national approach to workforce analysis, planning, enhancement, development and skilling. We are seeking motivated people with passion, creativity, good judgment and adaptability to achieve our missions.

In this role, you will contribute to a team responsible for developing and implementing strategic policy to bolster our partnerships with defence industry and State and Territory governments, focusing on labour market and industrial workforce issues covering Australia's naval shipbuilding and sustainment sector.

You will contribute to the design, implementation, evaluation and promotion of the new NSS Enterprise initiatives that will support the Australian Government's naval shipbuilding workforce and skill priorities, strengthen development outcomes, and build resilience.

The positions are within the NSSG Workforce Branch that advises on issues, facilitates outcomes and delivers an appropriately skilled workforce to ensure the NSS Enterprise can meet the Australian Government's objectives and the requirements of the Royal Australian Navy.

The NSS External Workforce Strategy and External Workforce Delivery Directorates focus on labour market and industrial workforce issues covering Australia's naval shipbuilding and sustainment shipyards. Workforce is one of the enablers that will deliver Continuous Naval Shipbuilding for Australia. In this context, the two Directorates work together to build a picture of not only how the NSSG can resource project delivery but also how Australia's labour market can respond to demand.

The NSSG Workforce Branch maintains focuses on workforce data develops policy advice and workforce strategies, administers programs, and routinely undertakes stakeholder advocacy across the Group, the whole of government, and with our industry partners.

Working in the NNS Enterprise, you will be part of an expanding, dynamic and high profile organisation at the centre of an ambitious, challenging and profoundly important national enterprise.

You will be joining a team of people who are caring and supportive by nature and you will contribute a similarly positive, optimistic and open-minded approach. You must be able to work autonomously but will value teamwork and the support of those around you.

Defence provides a fair, flexible, safe and rewarding workplace focused on achieving outcomes, committed to investing in you by providing a range of learning and development programs to help you reach your full potential while enjoying experiences and opportunities you would not get with any other organisation.
