The Role: 

Based in Canberra, we are looking for a Director to play a defining role in shaping Coras’ Nuclear capability at a critical time for Australia’s Defence future. You’ll partner with senior leaders across Government and industry who are delivering complex, high-security, high-stakes capability — where disciplined thinking, credibility and certainty of execution truly matter. Not just what we do, but how we do it. 

You’ll be responsible to: 

• Oversee the delivery of complex advisory, governance, safety and assurance projects in your capacity as a nuclear suitably qualified and experienced person (NSQEP)
• Identify, shape and pursue opportunities aligned to long-term nuclear and infrastructure priorities
• Champion a high-reliability “nuclear mindset” — including integrity, procedural discipline, high standards and a questioning attitude
• Develop and mentor senior consultants, building depth and resilience in the team
• Contribute to broader Coras strategy, sharing insights and opportunities across the business 

 

Our Ideal Candidate: 

You’re an experienced consulting leader who understands what it really means to operate at Director level. You can balance growth, delivery excellence and people leadership — without losing sight of quality or integrity. 

You will bring: 

• Experience leading consulting engagements or complex program delivery in Defence or similarly high-assurance environments
• A deep understanding of Australia’s naval nuclear propulsion program, , nuclear governance, nuclear safety and assurance or supporting physical infrastructure
• The credibility and confidence to engage senior technical, operational and executive stakeholders
• A strong track record of building and sustaining client relationships
• Demonstrated ability to develop a pipeline and translate market insights into sustainable growth
