About the role

The Assistant Manager Systems and Requirements has responsibility for managing the systems engineering framework for all radioactive waste disposal pathways. The role will be responsible for facilitating and enabling delivery of ARWA projects in the successful realisation of waste management and disposal solutions through the application of systems engineering. 

As the Assistant Manager Systems and Requirements, you will manage requirements and other systems engineering processes across ARWA projects and lead other technical disciplines in the application of these processes. This includes the elicitation and lifecycle management of requirements relating to disposal, treatment, and waste packaging systems. More widely, you will also contribute to developing a systems engineering approach within ARWA and implementing the relevant processes across programs and projects. The role will work collaboratively across all work functions of ARWA to ensure the highest levels of safety, security and sustainability is achieved in the delivery of technical work.

What we are looking for

• Previous experience of systems engineering and requirements management in complex projects and programmes (ideally nuclear or infrastructure sectors). 
• Thorough understanding of the requirement to plan, structure and organise a major infrastructure program. 
• Experience working with stakeholders and subject matter experts to develop lifecycle concepts, elicit requirements and develop system architectures. 
• Ability to plan and manage interactive programmes of work to ensure milestones are achieved and delivered to the required standard. 
• Proven track record of producing technical documentation within time, cost, and quality constraints and for a range of audiences.

Desirable Characteristics:

• Awareness of systems modelling methods and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
• Detailed knowledge of engineering, safety, and environmental assessments. 
• Experience in, or a sound understanding of, the radioactive waste management industry. 
• Understanding of systems and tools necessary to support implementation of an infrastructure program. 
• Sound understanding of Commonwealth Government processes. 

Qualification/s: 

• Tertiary qualification in a relevant Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) discipline (or equivalent skills, knowledge, and experience).

"I am proud to work for the Australian Radioactive Waste Agency and be involved in the program to dispose of Australia’s radioactive waste. This is a significant long-term infrastructure project and the role provides me an opportunity to collaborate with different national and international experts from a wide range of fields and to learn and apply innovate thinking and solutions to support program delivery" ~ Steven
