Digital Tools Governance Specialist 

Governance & Engineering Systems Support

Adelaide| Permanent | Defence Industry


Emanate Technology is partnering with a leading  defence organisation to recruit a Digital Tools Governance Specialist to support engineering teams across complex maritime programs.

We are specifically seeking candidates with a design engineering background who have been hands-on users of CAD, PLM and/or PDM systems, and who also understand how these tools are used in real engineering environments.

The Opportunity You will work directly with design engineers, acting as the bridge between engineering teams and internal technology providers.
Your role is to:
  • Support and optimise engineering design tools
  • Understand why engineers require changes or enhancements
  • Translate engineering needs into system improvements
  • Assist with governance, configuration, and compliance of digital design tools
You will be embedded in a highly technical environment supporting complex defence engineering programs.
Essential Background To be considered, you must have:

  • A design engineering background (mechanical, electrical, structural, systems or similar)
  • Practical experience as a user of 2D and/or 3D CAD tools
  • Experience working with PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and/or PDM (Product Data Management) systems
  • Understanding of engineering change processes and controlled design environments
  • Experience working in production, manufacturing, shipbuilding, defence or industrial engineering environments
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Supporting engineers with CAD, PLM and PDM tools
  • Configuring and governing digital engineering systems
  • Managing tool improvements and change requests
  • Liaising between engineering teams and IT/service providers
  • Providing user support, training and process guidance
  • Ensuring tools align with compliance and engineering standards
Highly Regarded
  • Experience with enterprise systems (ERP, document management)
  • Defence or regulated engineering environment experience
  • Understanding of engineering governance and configuration control
Security Australian Citizenship is required.

Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Defence security clearance.

If you are a current or former Design engineer or Analyst who understands CAD/PLM/PDM tools deeply and want to be in a role where you support and improve the engineering toolset rather than purely design products, this is an outstanding opportunity.
