ASC is Australia’s submarine company. We built the Royal Australian Navy’s Collins Class submarines, sustain them, and are now delivering their Life of Type Extension to increase the boats’ service lives. We have also been selected by the Australian Government to sustain and jointly build the nation’s conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines – the largest and most complex industrial undertaking in Australia’s history.

Our work is interesting and meaningful, contributing directly to Australia’s national security. We offer rewarding roles that provide the opportunity to grow your career, and the flexibility to balance life and work. A career at ASC is like no other, delivering a deeper purpose we can all be proud of.

 

About the Opportunity

The Fabrication Supervisor will oversee the Fabrication Capability Department, ensuring the efficient and high-quality production of submarine components. This role involves managing a team of skilled fabricators, coordinating with other departments, and maintaining strict adherence to safety and quality standards. The supervisor will play a critical role in meeting production schedules and supporting the overall mission of the organization.

This role represents a rare opportunity to work on the pioneering SSN AUKUS Build Program, delivering an essential sovereign capability for Australia.

This is a full-time opportunity based at our Osborne site in SA.

 

Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage a team of fabricators, ensuring optimal performance and development in a complex and dynamic environment.
  • Oversee the fabrication process, ensuring adherence to schedules, quality standards, and safety protocols across multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Implement and maintain quality control procedures to ensure all products meet stringent standards.
  • Facilitate effective communication and coordination between the fabrication team and other departments.

 

About you 

  • Trade qualifications in fabrication or a related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in heavy fabrication or a similar manufacturing environment.
  • Demonstrated understanding of safety regulations and best practices in a manufacturing setting.
  • Strong knowledge of heavy fabrication processes, materials, equipment and experience with quality control and assurance practices.
  • Certification in welding and fabrication techniques (e.g., AWS, ASME) is preferred.
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting technical drawings and blueprints.
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills.
  • Ability to supervise, lead, manage and motivate a team, fostering a collaborative and productive work environment.

 

Eligibility

This role requires a current National Police Clearance and an Australian Defence Security Clearance to an NV1 level. Your eligibility for this role is dependent on you obtaining and maintaining such clearance.

Whilst ASC will accept all applications for this role, as this role requires an ability to access protected US defence technology, applicants holding nationality of certain foreign countries will not be eligible.

To check your eligibility please visit the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency website.

 

Benefits

  • Unique and challenging work with a deeper purpose.
  • Flexibility over how, when and where you work for the best work/life balance.
  • Up to 10 days additional leave every year so you can rest and recharge.
  • Generous parental leave so you can give your family the focus it deserves.
  • Subsidised childcare to ease the financial pressure on your family.
  • Health and wellbeing initiatives so you can perform at your best at work.
  • Professional development opportunities to advance your career.
