Experience Life as a Submariner

As a Gap Year Mechanical Engineer Submariner, you'll embark on an extraordinary journey, working alongside experienced engineers to manage the operation and maintenance of advanced submarines. You'll gain hands-on experience, shadowing Mechanical Engineer Submariners who lead teams of skilled technicians to ensure the submarine is fully operational for its mission.

Immerse Yourself in Navy Innovation

You'll be part of a dynamic team tackling a range of engineering challenges, exposed to various systems including battery plant management, propulsion, power generation, ventilation, and more. Your experience will be diverse and rewarding.

A Unique Opportunity

This role isn't limited to recent school leavers. It's a chance to try out a year in the Navy, working alongside fully qualified Mechanical Engineer Submariners, without prior qualifications. You'll receive a salary, travel opportunities, and invaluable life and work experience, while forming lasting friendships.

Support and Training

You'll be guided throughout your training by professional and enthusiastic Navy personnel, providing the necessary support for you to get the most out of this experience. Your Gap Year will be divided into stages, allowing you to receive basic training, tour Navy's shore establishments, and experience life at sea and ashore. As a Navy Gap Year officer, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the operation of the ship or unit.

Leadership and Skills Development

Your training will begin at the Royal Australian Naval College (RANC), HMAS Creswell in Jervis Bay, NSW, where you'll complete a 15-week course alongside other new Navy officers. RANC is an energetic environment where you'll be challenged to meet Navy standards of fitness, demeanour, and behaviour. Coupled with the highest standard of leadership training, the skills you'll gain across this role are transferable to other management and leadership positions, providing a unique edge.
