Want to help deliver an Australian Defence project that is anything but ordinary? Birdon is growing the team behind the Amphibious Vehicle – Logistics (AV-L) project, bringing together specialist engineering, quality, safety, configuration, logistics support and technical capability. AV-L is a next-generation logistics platform designed to improve in-water manoeuvrability and modular payload handling. For the people working on it, that means the opportunity to apply their expertise to a complex Defence project where engineering decisions move from design and documentation through production, integration, testing and delivery. We’re currently recruiting for: ⚫ Senior Draftsperson - Port Macquarie, Sydney, Henderson or Melbourne ⚫ Senior Quality Assurance Engineer - Port Macquarie ⚫ Configuration Management Specialist - Port Macquarie or Sydney ⚫ ILS Lead - Port Macquarie, Sydney or Perth ⚫ Commissioning Engineer - Port Macquarie ⚫ System Safety Engineer - Port Macquarie, Sydney or Perth ⚫ Electrical & Control Systems Engineer - Port Macquarie or Sydney There are opportunities here for experienced people across multiple disciplines to contribute their expertise to a genuinely distinctive Defence capability. Veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. Your Defence experience, understanding of operational environments and practical perspective can bring real value to the work we do. If you’re looking for your next challenge and want to be part of a team that engineers solutions to complex problems, explore our current opportunities: https://lnkd.in/gc697qj6 #MakeItHappen #Defence #TeamBirdon

📍 EXA 2026 | Perth We are looking forward to presenting at EXA - Energy Exchange Australia 2026, where our General Manager, Australia West, Mitchell Kelly, will share insights from the Griffin Riser Turret Mooring (RTM) decommissioning project delivered for Woodside Energy. This project required us to plan for uncertainty at every stage, including: Unknown structural integrity Hazardous materials and contamination risk Complex load-in engineering Safe, coordinated onshore execution In our session, we’ll walk through how a flexible, risk-based and collaborative approach enabled a safe, sustainable outcome - and what this means for the future of decommissioning and onshore disposal capability in Australia. 📆 Thursday, 12 March at 9:50am If you’re attending EXA, we invite you to join the session - and visit the Birdon stand (M20) to continue the conversation. #MakeItHappen #OffshoreDecommissioning #EXA2026

Birdon’s asset management approach integrates engineering, maintenance and assurance to support informed decision-making and predictable performance. This gives our customers greater confidence in availability, planning and long-term asset value. Follow for practical perspectives on disciplined sustainment and lifecycle stewardship.

Relationships first. Capability follows. Every maritime task is delivered in a place that already has a history, a community and a way of working. Our role is to respect that first and then get the job done safely, reliably and with care. This short video capturing a snippet of our Island Trader contract shows what that looks like in practice. Not a showcase of hardware, but of people: listening before acting, working alongside local crews, protecting the environment we operate in, and earning trust through consistency rather than words. For us, sustainment is not a transaction. It’s a long‑term commitment; to vessels, to operators, and to the communities that depend on them. That mindset shapes how we plan maintenance, how we manage risk, and how we support capability over time. Because the strongest maritime outcomes are built when respect, realism and responsibility come first. 🎥 Watch the story below. #MakeItHappen #Maritime #Sustainment #Trust #LongTermPartnerships

Building capability for the long term. Reliable outcomes are built over time, by skilled teams. Through Birdon Futures, apprenticeships and structured development pathways, we’re building the next generation of maritime technicians and engineers; strengthening capability across the communities where we operate. Because at Birdon, long-term value comes from investing early, building skills deliberately, and backing people for the long run.
