Saab Australia (Saab) is expanding its Rockingham office to enable continued workforce growth to support naval shipbuilding and sustainment in Western Australia (WA). The expansion more than doubles Saab’s office facilities to accommodate employees who will work on Naval Combat Systems projects and supports Saab’s West Australian workforce to grow towards 100 people. The WA expansion continues Saab’s strong growth across Australia, which has included opening new facilities in Queensland, Victoria and the ACT in recent years.
“Saab has been delivering combat systems integration, sustainment and maintenance in Western Australia for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) since 2001 and looks forward to continuing this partnership,” said Andy Keough CSC, Managing Director Saab Australia. “We are committed to continuing to grow our specialist workforce and capabilities where the Commonwealth needs us to deliver their strategic priorities.”
Saab is the sovereign combat management system provider for the RAN surface fleet and employs more than 1,000 people at sites across Australia.

I hope this expansion has taken into consideration the likely outcome that AusCMS won’t be apart of at least the first two batches of the general purpose frigates. Although on the other hand perhaps it strengthens Saab Australia’s hand for future vessels 7-11.
