The Australian Defence Force is seeking highly skilled individuals to fill the role of Advanced Munitions Specialist. This critical position plays a vital part in maintaining the operational effectiveness of the Air Force.

As an Advanced Munitions Specialist, you will be responsible for handling and maintaining armament systems, ejection seat systems, air-launched munitions, and associated equipment. Working with the world's most advanced weaponised aircraft, including the F/A-18F Super Hornet, E/A-18 Growler, and F-35A Lightning II, you'll maintain aircraft weapon systems that are a combination of electronic, electrical, and mechanical components.

Your day-to-day tasks could include:

  • Aircraft launch and recovery duties
  • Maintenance and testing of aircraft armament systems – from computers to missile launcher racks
  • Inspection, removal, and installation of aircraft components
  • Working with explosives (Explosive Ordnance)
  • Fault diagnostics
  • Preparing, loading, and downloading missiles, bombs, and torpedoes to/from aircraft
  • Preparation and use of aircraft support equipment

In addition to your technical skills, you will have the opportunity to develop in this specialised career with further training provided by the Air Force. You may also become a qualified Demolition of Explosives Operator where you safely dispose of unexploded or malfunctioned weapons/munitions and pyrotechnics.

This role requires skill, judgement, and a high standard of workmanship to ensure continued integrity of armament systems and equipment. If you're good with your hands, enjoy mechanical/electrical hobbies, work well in a team, and are naturally curious, you'll go far in this highly rewarding and specialised career that's integral to the Air Force.

We estimate the salary for this role to be around $80,000 - $120,000 per annum, depending on location and experience.
