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.

Our work is interesting and meaningful, contributing directly to Australia’s national security.

A career at ASC is like no other, delivering a deeper purpose we can all be proud of.

About the Opportunity

This role represents a rare opportunity to work on the pioneering SSN AUKUS Build Program, delivering an essential sovereign capability for Australia. Join us in a pivotal role as we establish the Australian Shipbuilder, a joint venture between ASC and BAE, which will eventually construct Australia’s SSN-AUKUS submarines. As the Technology Controls & Information Management Officer, you will collaborate with the entire business to achieve company objectives in a compliant manner. Your focus will be on developing strategies to identify and mitigate risks associated with information sharing, technology control, and security frameworks.
