Defence is the largest procuring agency in the Commonwealth, with some of the most complex and challenging acquisition and sustainment projects in Australia, if not the world.
From ships, tanks and planes to infrastructure and services for Defence people, Defence’s procurement and contracting specialists help to source, purchase and manage everything required on the frontline and to keep the Australian Defence Force (ADF) running at home.
Defence’s procurement and contracting specialists are responsible for developing commercial and acquisition strategies, delivery of procurement processes, pricing and cost analysis, provision of commercial advice, contract management, category management and purchasing.
Solutions focused, Defence’s procurement and contracting specialists ensure compliance whilst challenging the status quo, strengthening decision making to meet the aspirations of the ADF and delivery of value for money outcomes to the Australian taxpayer.
The changing strategic environment faced by Australia necessitating the need for accelerated delivery of capability to the ADF, means Defence’s procurement and contracting roles are at the forefront of transformational change in Defence and have a critical role to play in cultivating commercial acumen and enhancing supplier engagement.
Defence is looking for individuals who are critical thinkers, value collaboration and partnerships and who embody trustworthiness and transparency.
