Funded by Government since 1984, the Marine National Facility (MNF) provides a keystone element of the nation’s research infrastructure by providing the only blue-water research capability available for work in Australia’s vast marine estate.
As the Executive Project Manager – RVI Projects, you will manage delivery of two critical projects – the Ship Management Contract Request for Tender and the RVI Mid-Life Refit, as well as other projects as required.
Since 1984, CSIRO has contracted third parties to provide services enabling CSIRO to operate its vessels in accordance with applicable legal requirements and marine industry standards (Ship Management Contract). The current Ship Management Contract is due to expire in June 2023 and a significant part of your role will be to oversee the competitive Request for Tender (RFT) process for the next contract. As well, RVI will undertake a mid-life refit in 2024 to extend the service life by a further 15 to 20 years. Your role will involve planning and implementation of the mid-life refit requirements, covering system improvements, upgrades and new capability critical to vessel operations, scientific capabilities, habitability and environmental footprint.
This role is strongly stakeholder-focussed and will require you to work in close collaboration with CSIRO’s enterprise Support Services and MNF teams, as well as undertaking extensive consultation with RVI users, the Ship Management Company and CSIRO technical teams.
