Transport Gap Year Operator
2 weeks ago
As an Australian Defence Force Transport Gap Year Operator, you'll play a critical role in the movement of cargo and supplies by road, rail, sea, and air. This challenging yet rewarding experience will equip you with the skills to operate and manage a range of vehicles, including 4WDs, off-road forklifts, trucks, and road trains.
During your 12-month program, you'll undergo 12 weeks of recruit training at Kapooka in Wagga Wagga, NSW. This comprehensive training will cover physical training, weapon handling and shooting, first aid, drill, and field craft. Upon completion, you'll grow your skills and expertise in one of two roles: Driver or Cargo Operator.
As a Driver, you'll have the opportunity to operate high-performance military vehicles, from a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon to a 110-tonne heavy equipment transporter. Alternatively, as a Cargo Operator, you'll ensure the timely delivery of crucial cargo. You'll learn to operate heavy machinery, from forklifts to cranes to small landing craft.
Following your training, you'll join a unit and provide vital support to Army teams. This may involve supporting people in training and operations, or ensuring the movement of cargo and supplies. The skills and experiences you gain during your Gap Year program will be highly valued by the Australian Defence Force and can be leveraged in future careers.
