- Supporting configuration control boards and other engineering governance forums by preparing configuration information, advice and recommendations for decision-making.
- Maintaining accurate configuration status accounting records to provide visibility of current and historical configuration states, approved changes and implementation status.
- Conducting configuration audits and reviews to verify that delivered and sustained system configurations align with approved technical baselines and documentation.
- Ensuring technical data, drawings, specifications, software records and other configuration-controlled artefacts remain current, complete, traceable and accessible to authorised stakeholders.
- Monitoring industry and contractor compliance with CJC03 configuration management requirements and identifying configuration risks, issues and non-conformances requiring corrective action.
- Supporting engineering assurance, certification, technical investigations and sustainment decision-making by providing accurate configuration information and evidence.
- Ensuring configuration management records and activities are auditable and comply with applicable Defence policy, regulatory requirements, standards and IWNSPO governance arrangements.
- Providing specialist configuration management advice to the Chief Engineer and relevant CJC03 stakeholders on configuration risks, dependencies, impacts and priorities.

Key Outcomes The role is expected to deliver:
- A controlled, accurate and auditable CJC03 configuration baseline.
- Transparent traceability between approved requirements, system configurations, technical data and authorised changes.
- Timely and disciplined management of configuration changes throughout sustainment.
- Reliable configuration information to support engineering, operational and governance decisions.
- Consistent application of configuration management requirements across Defence and industry stakeholders supporting CJC03 sustainment.
