There’s no limit to where your skills can take you

A career in defence and space will see you pushing the boundaries of innovation; making ground-breaking and world-leading advancements that are helping to define our state and safeguard our nation’s future. While a large portion of the jobs will be in STEM, it’s not just science-oriented people that are needed. Defence and space companies need all skillsets including everything from accounting to IT, project management to marketing.
Wondering who you could be working for? South Australia is home to more than 400 private defence companies including 7 of the 10 largest defence companies in the world that are already well-established in the state, along with more than 100 space-related organisations.
South Australia’s defence industry workforce is set to grow to more than 11,000 by the 2040s so there’s never been a better time to find your place in a high paying, lifelong career.
If you are a school student, parent, teacher, graduate or looking for a career change, do not miss this opportunity to learn firsthand from defence and space industry leaders about your new career in defence and space.
