The technical SME will support the strategy team to ensure that technically the strategy identified and then implemented is viable from an operational perspective.
Therefore, someone who has worked in the development of naval facilities - in terms of yard development, basic design of the facility, FEED and actual construction would be most appropriate.

Minimum Requirements
Construction, Marine, Mechanical or Civil Engineer (Bachelors) with 10 years' experience.
Experience of working as the "main contractor" in shipyard facilities with start-up experience, especially in a naval shipbuilding facility that incorporates MRO and new build projects.
Experience of maintaining naval vessels from inception to completion - in a project management / leadership role. Either minor repairs in naval bases or major repair work in shipyards.
Core understanding of National Naval Forces.
Alignment with the requirement for shipyards to incorporate digitalization & environmental strategies and experience of implementation.
Naval shipyard business - organizational development in production design.
10 experience in the maritime sector, with working directly for the manufacturer and experience working for the operator. Some background serving in the Navy as an engineer would be an asset but is not essential.
