RAAF Edinburgh, Adelaide Based (Remote Work at another defence base maybe available) | Requires a current AGSVA NV1 Clearance

About Us 

IAG Defence & National Security (DNS) is part of IAG, a specialist advisory firm supporting complex infrastructure, Defence and national security programs across Australia. Our DNS team works closely with Commonwealth agencies and industry partners to deliver specialist expertise into nationally significant programs. Our success depends on our ability to identify, engage and mobilise highly specialised talent quickly and effectively. IAG is recognised as a Veteran Friendly Employer under the Veteran Employment Program.

The Role 

We’re looking for an experienced Deputy Project Manager to join a Defence sustainment team based in Adelaide. This is a great opportunity for a project management professional to support the day-to-day availability of a complex capability, working closely with Commonwealth stakeholders and the wider product team.

You’ll bring solid project management fundamentals — planning, reporting, scheduling and finance — along with the communication skills to keep a broad stakeholder community aligned and informed.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of product planning and performance processes
• Apply project management methodologies across administrative and technical activities
• Research, draft and prepare briefs, correspondence and reports for committee consideration
• Engage with stakeholders to understand their expectations and concerns
• Resolve problems using initiative, identifying alternative courses of action

Required

• Current NV1 security clearance
• Relevant tertiary qualification (e.g. engineering, IT, logistics, business or project management)
• Experience in Defence or technical sustainment environments, such as logistics or asset management
• Good understanding of project management principles, ideally in a Defence or technology setting
• Familiarity with Defence contracting procedures (e.g. ASDEFCON) and strong stakeholder engagement skills

What We Offer 

With offices in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra, we’re a tight-knit team working across some of Australia’s most critical Defence and national security programs. We value expertise, collaboration and flexibility, providing our people with opportunities to contribute to meaningful and technically challenging projects.

We can offer great work, great people, great culture, great conditions, and an all-round great time whilst you continue building a rewarding career in the Defence and national security sector. As part of IAG, you’ll be joining a team of more than 250 professionals.

Most opportunities advertised by IAG Defence & National Security are subject to client approval, security validation and contractual confirmation. Employment or engagement will only be offered following successful client acceptance and completion of all required pre-engagement checks and onboarding activities.

Please note: as this role may support a Defence program, a Defence employment moratorium period may apply to current or recently separated ADF/APS personnel seeking to move into industry roles. If you are currently serving or have recently left Defence, we’d recommend confirming your eligibility to apply before submitting.
