9 MARKET COMMENTS 2015 Trends at a Glance Employment levels in the Defence sector have appeared to have stabilised. ADF embarking on the largest capital equipment replacement activity in a generation. Possible role change for DMO will have an impact on required industry skills. Salary levels will experience strong growth in some locations/skills in Current Situation Prior to 2009/2010 the Defence sector was plagued by a lack of skilled workers. A busy project environment, coupled with a booming resources sector meant that there was a great imbalance in the supply and demand of the technical skills required in both the acquisition and sustainment functions in the Defence sector. Strong competition and employment conditions from other sectors impacted the supply of available workers, and in a number of cases project cost and schedule was effected by the misalignment between the location of the work forces, and the location of the work. Much of the last four years saw a significant reduction in the size of the Defence Industry (up to 20% by some figures), however the last 12 months has seen a general increase in hiring activity in Defence Industry, and we forecast a general undersupply of many Defence sector specific skills over the medium to long term. Many major ADF platforms are now scheduled for replacement, and a number of large systems based projects are under way. The end of the resources construction boom will not significantly diminish the demand in the Resources Industry for Defence sector trained skills over the medium term. Many resource projects are moving to the sustainment phase of their lifecycle, and Defence sector workers are still attractive to that industry. Growth in construction, transportation and IT sectors are also creating demand for Defence sector workers. The effect of an aging workforce is yet to have a significant effect on the supply of skilled workers. Project cost and schedule risk will be greatly effected by the way the sector manages the supply and demand of skilled workers Kinetic Recruitment Defence Salary Survey 9 of 35

10 Sector Overviews Sea The supply and demand of maritime skills is, at best, in equilibrium in most locations, however with a number of acquisition projects about to start, demand is likely to far out strip supply unless competing project schedules are carefully orchestrated, work is done offshore, or significant steps are taken to utilise skills from adjacent industries. Regional locations will continue to suffer from poor supply of local skills. Air Foreign Military Sales acquisitions have effectively seen a reduction in the requirement for indigenous design and systems engineering skills. This will have a negative effect on the available supply of these skills over the long term. Increasing use of autonomous vehicle technology will drive demand for new skills in this sub sector. Land The possibility of a very large manufacturing, or at least, systems integration project in the military vehicle space will test the ability of Defence to integrate skills from adjacent sectors. The automotive sector hold some relevant skills, but many requirements will have Defence specific content expertise which workers from other sectors will not hold. Joint Demand for ICT skill sets will increase over the long term. The rise in importance of cyber warfare capabilities, coupled with comparable requirements in commercial industry will mean strong demands for these skills in general. IT skills in general will be in demand across the country. Comms and RF focused skills will be in strong demand due to a number of large projects. Defence estate projects will have to compete for skills with a number of civil infrastructure projects. State Overviews New South Wales Demand is beginning to eclipse supply for Naval sustainment and support skills, this continues to be fuelled by the introduction to service and the ongoing support of the first LHD and to a lesser extent, the support and sustainment of RAN support platforms. With the workforce being near to fully employed, we have seen an increase in salary expectations, we have observed a rise between 5% - 15% across the technical skillsets. The introduction of the C 27J into RAAF service will likely lead to an increase in demand for sustainment skill sets in Western Sydney should the platform be based there. The rail and construction industries may increase pressure on the project support skill sets. Predicted Salary Growth: Steady 2015 Kinetic Recruitment Defence Salary Survey 10 of 35

11 South Australia There has been a complete turnaround for demand for engineering skillsets in this area, with increasing demand for Systems Engineers, Electrical Engineers and ILS professionals. Both AWD and JORN are absorbing most of the demand. Submarine skills are in relatively low demand with uncertainty over SEA1000. The Collins class sustainment is reaching a steady level as the sustainment program is now back in line with expected schedules. JORN phase 6B could have a major impact on the supply of engineering skillsets as the next phase of the contract dictates a sole source prime contractor. The establishment of an AWD SPO in Adelaide will have some effect on skill availability, but we are unsure of the size and composition of the workforce at this time. The AWDSPO is slated to relocate to Sydney in 2016, which will have an effect on skills availability in that location. Predicted Salary Growth: Steady Western Australia Naval sustainment and logistics skill sets are in reasonably steady demand in this location and is still proving difficult to attract these skillsets out of adjacent industries. Strong demand for project management and trade skills is a notable local occurrence. Numbers of discharging RAN personnel are down even more than in previous years. The downturn in the mining industry has not seen a huge impact on the availability and supply of technical professionals. Predicted Salary Growth: Steady Victoria Victoria was relatively busy in 2014, with various LAND projects stimulating moderate demand for the procurement and design skill sets. This will continue in this sector for 2015, even with the possible announcement of a major project expected early in the year. Naval production and design skills requirements will experience a sharp drop in demand towards the end of 2015 without new projects announced. There will be very strong demand for skills in the C4I category. Predicted Salary Growth: Steady-Strong Queensland The last 12 months has seen a lesser demand for the naval sustainment skill sets in Cairns. This is worth noting as we have noticed a movement of some in-demand skill sets from WA and NSW. There is an increase in demand for land systems integration and sustainment skills as LAND 121 matures, but demand for aerospace skills will remain steady. As in NSW, the Rail and construction industries may increase pressure on the project support skill sets, although the Resources industry will still draw our sustainment skills. Predicted Salary Growth: Steady- Moderate Kinetic Recruitment Defence Salary Survey 11 of 35

12 Australian Capital Territory Demand continues to increase in the ACT area for engineering consultancy skillsets, with SEA5000 and other future programs (PB replacement, AOR replacement) showing some signs of absorbing skillsets moving forward. The advent of Integrated Service Contracts may significantly change the way the professional services sector engages workers. In the ICT sector, the Centralised Processing project will drive demand for ICT skills as it creates movement in the workforce.
