Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Defence Force Full time

As a Nuclear Submarine Operations Specialist with the Australian Defence Force, you will oversee day-to-day operations of the submarine, including everything from communications and navigation to armament and tactical deployment. Your typical day could see you in charge of:

  • Nuclear reactor and nuclear propulsion system operations
  • Onboard weapons systems management
  • Atmosphere control and fire control systems
  • Driving the vessel and charting its position
  • Communications and intelligence equipment operation

Your training will first equip you with technical expertise in nuclear propulsion, the platform, and its equipment. You will then move into your submarine qualification and oversee day-to-day operations, with opportunities for continuous progression and career stability.

As a key member of the submarine crew, you will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of operational nuclear safety and security. This will involve working closely with your team to ensure the safe and secure operation of the submarine, as well as contributing to the development of the Australian conventionally-armed nuclear-powered submarine enterprise.

A competitive salary package, opportunities for advancement, and an adventurous lifestyle make this a compelling opportunity for those looking to make a difference in the defence sector.
