Saab Australia has opened its expanded office and plans for an additional 60 ongoing jobs over the next two years in Melbourne.

The expanded facility will include a centre of excellence for the integration of uncrewed systems into the Saab Combat Management System, supported by the Victorian government. This growth will increase Saab’s Victorian workforce to around 120 employees, up from 10 in early 2020.

The major national expansion program includes a new office in Canberra, the Deployable Health Capability Support Centre in Brisbane, and the Sovereign Combat System Collaboration Centre and office expansion in Adelaide.

“Saab has ambitious growth plans and we’ve identified Melbourne as an attractive place to invest and recruit talented people,” said Saab Australia managing director Andy Keough.

“We’ve been delivering complex systems integration in Australia for over 30 years and we’re pleased to have the support of the Victorian government to continue creating jobs as we introduce new technology and further develop our sovereign combat management system capabilities.”
