We are seeking an experienced Program Delivery Manager to take ownership of the end-to-end execution of a complex defence program, leading the delivery of parts, assemblies, overhaul activities and in-service support operations across South Australia and Western Australia.
This is a unique opportunity to lead multidisciplinary teams, optimise delivery performance across multiple value streams, and play a pivotal role in ensuring our customers receive safe, reliable and high-quality outcomes.

About the role
As Program Delivery Manager, you will be accountable for the successful execution of all program delivery activities, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently, predictably and in line with customer commitments. Working closely with Program Controls & Integration, Engineering, Procurement and Supply Chain teams, you will translate program priorities into executable delivery outcomes while maintaining control of workflow, resources, delivery readiness and operational performance.
You will lead delivery activities across production, assembly overhaul and in-service support operations, balancing competing priorities and ensuring alignment between customer demand, engineering readiness, workforce capability, material availability and operational capacity.
A key focus of the role is driving delivery performance across multiple value streams, managing work-in-progress, improving throughput, resolving constraints and ensuring delivery objectives relating to safety, quality, schedule and cost are consistently achieved. You will oversee geographically dispersed teams across South Australia and Western Australia, coordinate subcontractor performance, and provide operational leadership that enables sustainable delivery outcomes.
As a senior leader within the program, you will act as a key customer interface for delivery execution, lead operational and performance discussions, manage delivery risks and recovery actions, and provide accurate reporting on execution status and operational performance. You will also champion continuous improvement initiatives that enhance productivity, resource utilisation and overall program effectiveness.
Most importantly, you will foster a culture of safety, accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement while developing team capability and supporting the growth of future leaders across the business.
