About the Opportunity

Reporting to the Head of Asset Management, the Asset Management Lifecycle Manager is responsible for leading asset lifecycle strategies across ASC's infrastructure and operational assets to maximise reliability, availability and whole-of-life value. The role will play a key part in ensuring assets are operationally ready to support both current sustainment requirements and Australia's future nuclear-powered submarine program.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing specialist asset management team that is shaping the future of ASC's sustainment capability. Working as a trusted internal consultant, you will partner with project, engineering and operational teams to bridge the gap between project delivery and sustainment, influence long-term investment decisions and build the asset management capability needed to support Australia's submarine programs into the future.

This is a full-time opportunity based primarily in Henderson, Western Australia, with access to ASC's Perth CBD office and flexibility to work remotely where business requirements allow. While applications from Perth and Adelaide will be considered, Western Australia is the preferred location given the growth of ASC's sustainment operations and the role's close engagement with frontline teams. Operating within a task-based, outcomes-focused environment, occasional travel may be required to support business objectives.

Responsibilities

• Lead asset lifecycle strategies that improve reliability, maintainability, availability and long-term asset performance across ASC's operational and infrastructure asset portfolio.
• Partner with project and operational teams to ensure assets are effectively transitioned into service, meet customer requirements and support long-term sustainment outcomes.
• Drive reliability engineering, maintenance optimisation and asset management capability uplift through the deployment of best-practice processes, systems and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide strategic asset planning, investment and renewal advice that supports informed decision-making and future operational readiness.
• Lead and develop a growing team of reliability and asset management professionals, building enduring organisational capability and supporting ASC's long-term sustainment objectives.

About you 

You are an experienced asset management, reliability engineering or sustainment leader who understands the realities of operating and maintaining complex assets in high-consequence environments, ideally with expertise gained in defence, maritime, shipbuilding, sustainment or specialist asset management settings.

You combine strong technical credibility with the ability to influence stakeholders across projects, engineering, maintenance and operations. You're equally comfortable developing long-term strategies and working alongside frontline teams to ensure successful delivery.

You will also have:

• A degree qualification in Engineering, Asset Management, Reliability Engineering, Infrastructure Management or a related discipline.
• Experience in asset lifecycle management, reliability engineering, maintenance management or sustainment delivery within a complex operational environment.
• Experience working across project, maintenance, engineering and operational functions.
• Strong knowledge of reliability-centred maintenance, asset performance improvement and lifecycle planning.
• The ability to drive process improvement, influence cultural change and build organisational capability.
• Experience within defence, maritime, naval, shipbuilding, utilities, infrastructure or other asset-intensive industries.
