Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Defence Force Full time

As a Maritime Geospatial Intelligence Specialist with the Australian Defence Force, you will play a pivotal role in collecting, analysing and disseminating critical environmental data to empower the Navy to excel at sea.

The job encompasses a wide array of responsibilities across different operational settings. Traditionally, this role is primarily responsible for charting seas for navigation, a task that remains critical. However, modern hydrographic surveying has evolved into a diverse, multidisciplinary profession.

You will utilise advanced sensors to collect and analyse a range of data crucial for ensuring ship safety and providing tactical advantages. This includes bathymetric mapping, seafloor analysis, current and tide measurements, terrestrial mapping, and environmental observation.

This data supports military operations and informs nautical charting efforts by the Australian Hydrographic Office. You will operate from dedicated Hydrographic Ships or as part of Deployable Geospatial Support Teams stationed aboard various vessels and locations.

You will collaborate within the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation, leveraging geospatial data analysis to enhance maritime operations and provide strategic, operational, and tactical advantages to our naval forces.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Conduct comprehensive environmental data collection and analysis
  • Generate and manage geospatial products crucial for maritime operations
  • Execute Route Survey and Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) missions to support Maritime Intelligence Collection
  • Coordinate and disseminate sensor information to enhance tactical situational awareness
  • Plan and lead geospatial data collection missions, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
  • Assume command roles within Hydrographic Defence Elements, overseeing operational effectiveness and readiness

Your training will equip you with all the experience you need to develop as a leader and have a broad understanding of everything that happens onboard a naval ship.

As an officer, you'll learn additional skills and duties to become highly trained and efficient in supporting the security and safety of the ship and personnel onboard. This involves providing leadership, management, administration and career advice to sailors and junior officers within your division.

You'll enjoy a competitive salary package of approximately $100,000 per year, career stability, opportunities for continuous progression and an adventurous lifestyle, all while making a difference to Australia.
