Are you an experienced aviation professional looking to step away from day-to-day maintenance while staying connected to aircraft operations and technical problem solving?

Northrop Grumman Australia is seeking a Support & Test Equipment Manager to join our MQ-4C Triton Integrated Logistics Support team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong aviation maintenance, logistics, technical services or through-life support background who enjoys understanding complex technical systems, engaging with stakeholders and driving operational outcomes.

Rather than conducting maintenance yourself, you'll be responsible for ensuring the right support and test equipment is available, serviceable, compliant and ready to support operations when required.

About the Role

Supporting the Triton Integrated Logistics Support Team, you'll oversee the management and sustainment of Support & Test Equipment (S&TE) and Ground Support Equipment (GSE) supporting the 9 Squadron maintenance organisation.

You'll work closely with maintenance teams, contractors, supply chain specialists and Defence stakeholders to ensure equipment remains compliant, calibrated and available to support operations.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing critical aviation support and test equipment assets
• Coordinating calibration, repair and serviceability activities
• Managing supplier and contractor relationships
• Ensuring compliance with technical and regulatory requirements
• Supporting Triton maintenance operations across multiple locations
• Providing technical advice and support to key stakeholders
• Forecasting equipment requirements and future capability needs
• Supporting Defence and operational customer expectations

You'll ideally bring:

• Technical trade qualifications
• Strong aviation industry knowledge
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills
• Experience interpreting maintenance requirements and technical data
• Strong organisational and planning capability
• Experience working within aviation or Defence environments
