We are proud to partner with a recognised leader in the Defence and aerospace sector to source two Logistics Engineering Specialists for critical six-month contracts.
In this highly analytical and impactful role, you will be at the forefront of sustainment improvement and product support for complex, high-stakes Defence programmes. If you have a sharp eye for technical data and a proven background in Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) / Integrated Product Support (IPS), this is an exceptional opportunity to shape equipment performance and operational readiness.
As a Logistics Engineering Specialist, your primary mission will be to dive deep into FRACAS, maintenance, reliability, serviceability, engineering, and operational data. You will act as the crucial link in understanding equipment performance, identifying recurring failures, and driving extended maintenance outcomes.
Beyond data analysis, you will play a pivotal role in acquisition activities, contributing your logistics engineering expertise to system reviews and the maturation of essential ILS/IPS products.
Key Responsibilities
...- Evaluate, verify, and organise complex datasets across multiple engineering and operational streams, leveraging FRACAS, reliability, and maintenance metrics to pinpoint systemic issues, gaps, and underlying drivers.
- Utilise data-driven insights to uncover root causes of equipment underperformance and formulate targeted, high-impact optimisation plans.
- Drive RAM evaluations, MTA activities, spare parts provisioning, and the maturation of LSAR datasets to strengthen system sustainment.
- Monitor deliverable milestones, risks, and program dependencies while crafting high-level briefings, detailed technical reports, and strategic recommendations for key decision-makers.
- Deliver specialised product support input into major design and system reviews, fostering strong cross-functional engagement with maintenance, logistics, client, and vendor teams.
To hit the ground running in this fast-paced contract, you will ideally bring:
- Demonstrated experience in Logistics Engineering, ILS, or IPS within Defence, aerospace, or complex engineering environments.
- Strong proficiency in analysing technical datasets, specifically FRACAS, RAM, and maintenance/serviceability data.
- Familiarity with LSAR, Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA), and spares provisioning.
- Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex data into clear, evidence-based recommendations.
- Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills to influence multidisciplinary project teams.
Why Apply?
- Flexibility: Enjoy a hybrid working arrangement based out of Brisbane.
- Impact: Directly contribute to the operational success and sustainment of cutting-edge Defence technology.
- Immediate Start: Secure a dynamic 6-month contract with a premier Defence contractor.
The candidate must be an Australian citizen and obtain a security clearance or have a NV1 or Baseline Security Clearance.
