The Opportunity
Boeing Defence Australia (BDA) is seeking a EHS Specialist to join the MQ‑28 Ghost Bat Production Facility build at Wellcamp Toowoomba, QLD.

This is a rare opportunity to work on Boeing's first final assembly facility outside North America and help build a state-of-the-art site that will deliver Australia's first military-designed combat aircraft in more than 50 years and redefine how advanced aircraft are made.

In this role you will build something that matters, grow with a high-performing team, and leave a legacy in Australian defence manufacturing
