Hobart, Tasmania, Australia beBeeMechanical Full time $95,438 - $108,360

Key to Australia's Antarctic Program is the ability to maintain and support complex infrastructure in one of the most remote regions on Earth. As a Mechanical Technician for the Million Year Ice Core (MYIC) project, you play a vital role in ensuring success by maintaining and improving mechanical components of our deep ice drill system.

We are part of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. Our goals include protecting the Antarctic environment, understanding its role in the global climate system, and undertaking scientific work of practical significance.

The MYIC project involves drilling, analysing and interpreting Antarctica's oldest continuous ice core. This endeavour aims to improve our understanding of past and future climate, carbon cycle and ice sheet stability.

As a member of our multi-disciplinary team, you will be responsible for maintenance and improvements to the mechanical components of the AAD MYIC deep ice drill and associated drill-system infrastructure. This includes design, drawing modifications, mechanical fabrication, quality control and documentation.

Responsibilities:

  • Coordinate and undertake servicing, repair and maintenance of mechanical components of the deep ice drill, tower, winch and associated drill-system infrastructure.
  • Select and procure or design and fabricate new components and equipment as required to meet drill-system requirements in collaboration with other staff and external collaborators.
  • Be part of the team operating the deep drill system in Antarctica and take the lead in resolving mechanical issues including operation of machining tools to modify or fabricate components in the field.
  • Work with scientists and other staff to tune drill settings and components to optimise ice core quality.
  • Maintain a register of drill system mechanical tasks and issues. Contribute to scheduling and planning of drilling, maintenance and cargo activities.
  • Select and maintain a suitable inventory of spares for the mechanical components of the drill system.
  • Manage and update as required the drill system mechanical engineering documentation
  • Build and maintain connections with international collaborators in the ice core drilling community.

This position will be based at the AAD head office in Kingston, Tasmania and will report to the MYIC Drill System Engineer. Workshop facilities and bench space will be available in the AAD Instrument Workshop (IWS) and the MYIC cage area. The Drill System Mechanical Technician will be expected to work collaboratively with the IWS, MYIC science team, Traverse team, Polar Technologies team and other stakeholders.

This role offers an opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research and development in polar exploration and climate science.

You will have the chance to develop your skills and expertise in mechanical engineering, working closely with a talented team of professionals.

In this challenging and dynamic environment, you will be able to apply your knowledge and experience to drive innovation and progress.

Our organisation values teamwork, creativity and a commitment to excellence. If you share these values and are passionate about contributing to this critical project, we encourage you to apply.
