Canada’s defence policy, “Strong, Secure, Engaged” (SSE), has committed to investing in 15 CSC ships.

The CSC project is the largest and most complex shipbuilding initiative in Canada since World War II.

The CMS is the key integrating component of the CSC Combat System bringing together weapons, sensors, information and human systems into a unified, cohesive warfighting capability to achieve Royal Canadian Navy missions. The CMS will field advanced leading-edge technology developed in Canada and integrate advanced defense systems from the USA and globally

The position requires that the PMCMS work with the CSC customer, Irving Shipbuilding Industries, BAE systems (the ship design agent), US Government Foreign Military Sale (FMS) organization through the Canada PMO, and the Combat System supply chain via the sourcing team to achieve the program objectives. The PMCMS will be responsible for program deliverables and program performance, including cost, schedule and risk management.

This is an exciting, long-term opportunity to lead a major development and integration program enhancing Canadian technology and integrating systems from across the globe to provide RCN with the next generation fleet.
