Careers
Careers at N20.
N20 is a team of sixteen engineers, project managers and data analysts in Canberra and Melbourne, working with Defence, other Government agencies and industry. Most roles require an Australian Government security clearance or eligibility to obtain one.
Remuneration
N20 runs with minimal overheads: no corporate offices, no administrative staff, and directors who bill their own time. The margin this creates goes to employees as salary rather than fringe benefits. Remuneration is reviewed at least once each financial year, and a review may be requested at any time.
Leave
Twenty days of annual leave and ten days of personal and carer’s leave each year, with time worked outside normal hours credited back as leave. Company-paid parental leave of ten weeks for a primary carer and two weeks for a secondary carer, in addition to the Government scheme. Paid leave for Australian Defence Force Reserve service, jury duty, and family and domestic violence circumstances, and unpaid leave for emergency services volunteering.
Professional development
There is no fixed training allowance. N20 helps fund Master’s degrees, pays for courses, certifications, professional memberships and conferences, and sponsors security clearances and Chartered status with Engineers Australia. We work with every employee on a development plan that builds toward Chartered status and senior roles, and our people work directly alongside the directors on live programs.
How we operate
N20 operates a Quality Management System aligned to AS/NZS ISO 9001, supported by a Code of Conduct and an Equal Employment Opportunity policy that apply equally to directors, staff and contractors. Policies are written down, approved by the directors and available to every employee.
