Perth, Western Australia Department of Climate Change Energy the Environment and Water Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

As an Aircraft Ground Support Officer (AGSO) with the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD), you will be responsible for a diverse range of duties in support of fixed and rotary wing operations in Antarctica.

This is a hands-on role which will require you to operate a wide range of heavy and light machinery, along with servicing ground support requirements for a wide range of aircraft. This involves operation of machinery and manual work, including the construction, maintenance and operation of ski landing areas. You will handle aviation fuelling equipment and interface with fixed/rotary wing aircraft. You will also transport passengers and cargo to and from aviation facilities and aircraft.

Aircraft schedules are heavily influenced by weather conditions. AGSOs often work long hours (up to 12 hours) to capitalise on periods of good weather.

AGSOs are employed in summer jobs at Casey and Davis stations. Casey AGSO`s routinely assist at Wilkins Aerodrome as operational needs dictate.

The AAD Aviation Program routinely has two helicopters operating at various Antarctic locations within the program over the summer season (four to six months), as well as a small number of fixed wing aircraft.
