A BMT spokesman said, "These people are currently in high demand due to Australia’s expansion of the defence industry. There are just not enough of these people! Thanks to advertising on Defence Connect, we received more applicants than usual for our positions, but more importantly, these applicants were of a better fit and of a higher calibre than we usually receive through other sources.

"These applicants were more industry specific and at the level of expertise we were looking for. We also heard from more people we believe we would not have usually heard from. We are now committed to continually advertise for positions on Defence Connect as a first option to find the right people." 

As a leading international design, engineering, science and risk management consultancy with a reputation for engineering excellence, BMT is driven by a belief that things can always be better, safer, faster and more efficient.
