Graduate Opportunities

From fighter aircraft and navy ships to soldier systems, the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) is Australia’s largest program management, logistics and engineering services organisation. DMO has around 7,000 people in more than 40 locations throughout Australia and overseas. We are responsible for acquiring and sustaining the equipment used by the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

Big Projects

The DMO manages over 230 major projects; many are the largest and most demanding in Australia. The ADF relies on the DMO to provide its equipment on time, on budget and to the required levels of quality – the ADF’s operational success depends on us.

Big Budgets

If the DMO were a private company it would be one of the largest on the Australian Stock Exchange. It has an annual budget of over $9 billion, and will manage over $100 billion worth of acquisition and sustainment business over the next 10 years.

Big Opportunities

The Materiel Graduate Scheme (MGS) provides you the opportunity to use skills acquired at university while building on your personal experiences. Your work will contribute to nationally significant projects supporting the ADF that are complex and highly valued. The 18-month MGS consists of three work rotations including assistance to achieve industry based professional recognition. The DMO is committed to the professional development of its people and all relevant development is centrally funded. Our Materiel Cadetship Scheme (MCS) (undergraduates) provides real life work experience and financial support while you complete university.

DMO’s generous remuneration package (starting at $53,622 pa for the MGS, and $24,260 pa for the MCS - as at January 2009), conditions of service and leave benefits will contribute to you enjoying a happy work-life balance.
