Inspired people work with BAE Systems Australia. Their innovation is our competitive edge. To keep it that way, we make important contributions to the communities in which we live and work, investing in new technology, education and skills training. It's the best way to preserve our natural intellectual resources and inspire innovative solutions for years to come. We're looking for additional employees who are seeking a challenging career and have a real impact on the defence of Australia and its assets.
As part of this unique organisation, you'll enjoy career opportunities that most people never manage to find in a lifetime. There is no limit to what we can achieve together.
In terms of culture, lifestyle and working environment, you can expect diversity, development and direction!
Diversity
A diverse workforce benefits us all. Many of us have experience from different business environments including overseas work cultures and together we achieve amazing results. We are also committed to becoming an industry leader in terms of diversity and inclusion. Addressing gender balance and creating more flexible working options such as part time or job share employment for employees is a key focus.
Development
Your contribution to the company will be valued and we'll make sure you receive the support, mentoring, training and career progression you deserve. Your career is up to you but you'll be encouraged and helped to drive your own development to realise your full potential.
Health, Safety & Environment
The safety, health and well-being of employees and their families is of the highest concern to BAE Systems Australia. Whilst our teams work hard towards common goals, the importance of family flexible work practices and overall well-being is never de-valued. Initiatives include paid maternity and paternity leave, flexible work policies and discounted membership to on-site gymnasiums at some sites. Managing and reducing our impact on the environment is also a key focus. At BAE Systems we are committed to zero harm.
Community
Aside from the great feeling of community within the BAE Systems business, we seek to make important differences in the communities in which we live both through superior technological advancements and through various types of charity work. Of particular note is the "Charity Challenge" campaign. Embraced by the organisation and its employees, Charity Challenge sees incredible amounts of money raised annually for partner charities within our community.

Direction
We also encourage you to shape the future direction of the business. You will be able to see the full lifecycle of the products and services we offer - from concept and design to manufacture and maintenance – and understand the vital role you play in their delivery.
Our Values
Our culture depends on all of our employees living our Values of Trusted, Innovative and Bold. Total Performance and our Values are the fundamental elements of our culture.

Responsible Business Conduct
We are committed to becoming a recognised leader in responsible business conduct worldwide.
Maintaining high standards of business conduct is essential to enhance our overall business performance, build trust, and maintain and improve our reputation with stakeholders. We believe visible leadership is essential to embed a culture of Total Performance and responsible business conduct among employees at all levels and wherever they work in the world.
The Group’s Code of Conduct sets out the principles and standards all our employees adopt. Used in conjunction with our Responsible Trading Principles, it supports our business activities.
At BAE Systems it is not just what we do, but how we do it that matters.
Equal Opportunities
Subject only to considerations of national security we will assess all applicants fairly without regard to age, gender, marital status, race, religion, ethnic or national origin. As our business units are engaged in government work with classified aspects, Australian citizenship, nationality and the ability to successfully attain security clearances and clearance for International Traffic In Arms (ITAR) are factors that must frequently be taken into account.
