Production Transfer Lead - Defence Systems

Establish and maintain the approved Australian production baseline as the reference standard for all transfer activity.

Define the governance, controls, and transfer criteria required to ensure process, tooling, industrial data, and quality requirements are replicated consistently across sites.

Prevent uncontrolled localisation, undocumented process deviation, or implicit transfer of risk during production replication activities.

Develop and maintain the phased transfer plan covering site readiness, training, controlled ramp-up, and first-build execution.

Define transfer sequencing, entry and exit criteria, and control measures to prevent premature localisation or unmanaged risk.

Ensure early production uses approved processes, validated tooling, and controlled inputs until local capability is proven stable.

Monitor readiness, conformity, yield, and process adherence during ramp-up and escalate deviations before progression.

Assess production engineering capability across sites and identify structural, skills, and capacity gaps.

Recommend the controls and support structures required to sustain multiple production lines with consistent outcomes.

Reduce single points of failure in critical production engineering and operational roles.

Establish an Australia-anchored support model to provide rapid-response subject matter expertise during transfer and early production.
