‘The opportunity to have worked on both sides of the Defence environment has allowed me to appreciate the diverse and unique challenges available in the DMO. I enjoy the scale and complexity of DMO projects, and the fostering of dynamic relationships with industry and foreign agencies. Exposure to advanced systems across a wide variety of capital equipment projects and regional operation locations is an additional incentive of DMO employment.’ – |

‘The Defence environment is so large and diverse it is impossible not to find something of interest to someone from any background. The DMO is involved in some of the largest projects in Australia in terms of funding and complexity and there is always a new challenge to tackle. The MGS gives you access to cutting edge technology, and unique experiences as well as interactions with personnel from all manner of backgrounds from Engineering to Finance and Law, as well as foreign countries.‘ |

'Working within DMO offers you ever evolving and challenging tasks and the ability to get up close and personal with some of the most impressive toys you have ever seen. I enjoy coming to work in such a diverse and exciting environment and the MGS offers you the chance to expose yourself to an array of tasks within the organisation.' |

‘As an engineer DMO offers a challenging career and the opportunity to work in a diverse environment and develop a diverse range of skills. The greatest reward isn't just being able to play with exciting toys and developing leading edge technology, but a sense of pride in delivering the best capability for our troops in war.’ |
