About The Role
Due to continued growth, Babcock is seeking a Commercial Specialist to join our Marine business at Garden Island, NSW, supporting the Amphibious Combat and Sealift (ACS) Capability Life Cycle Manager (CLCM) Program.
As a trusted partner to the Royal Australian Navy, we deliver critical fleet asset management services that support the operational readiness of some of Australia's most important maritime capabilities.
Reporting to the Senior Commercial Manager – Marine, this role offers the opportunity to become a key commercial advisor within a high‐profile Defence program.
Working closely with program leadership, procurement, subcontracting and operational teams, you will provide specialist commercial support that enables informed decision‐making, effective risk management and strong contractual outcomes.
This is a broad and varied role where you'll be involved in all aspects of contract and commercial management, from supporting customer and supplier engagements and administering contract changes, through to managing governance, compliance and commercial records.

Success in this position will come from your ability to build strong relationships across the business, provide pragmatic commercial advice and support the continuous improvement of the processes and systems that underpin programme delivery.
You will work closely with internal stakeholders, customers and subcontractors to manage contractual matters, support procurement activities, contribute to contract negotiations, and help drive commercial integrity across the programme.
