Transport Safety Investigator – Marine

1 day ago

Canberra n Capital Territory, Australia Australian Transport Safety Bureau Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

The ATSB is offering a unique opportunity for individuals interested in investigating maritime incidents and accidents. This role is ideal for those who are curious, detail-oriented, and committed to improving safety outcomes.

When an incident or accident occurs, our investigation team works to uncover the circumstances, identify contributing safety issues, and promote meaningful safety actions across the sector.

The ATSB employs a detailed investigation process underpinned by a rigorous analytical methodology. We are completely independent of operators and the regulator and have unique powers to gather and protect evidence to enable our investigations to uncover lessons to improve transport safety.

Responsibilities

The successful candidates will be supported in their transport safety investigator career path through a structured development and training program, including the opportunity to gain formal tertiary qualifications through our partnership with RMIT University.

As their capabilities, skills and experiences develop, investigators take on increasingly complex investigations and can lead multiple investigations at any point in time. With on-the-job training and mentoring, they progressively become involved in larger and more systemic investigations that drive real safety change.

Qualifications

We are looking for candidates with a good understanding of the maritime industry, ships and shipboard operations, the ability to interpret and apply legislation, regulations and standards, and demonstrable involvement and interest in marine safety and safe shipboard operations.

In particular, we are seeking candidates with at least 2 years of current or recent experience as a chief engineer or first engineer on seagoing vessels or as a ship superintendent, surveyor or similar, and who have a highly developed knowledge and understanding of the ISM Code and safety management systems.
