  • Willis Island

The Bureau's National Observing Operations section maintains a year-round staff presence at Willis Island. We are seeking an enthusiastic and qualified Electronics, Electrical or Instrumentation technician or engineer, ideally with previous remote field experience to undertake a remote posting on Willis Island for approximately 6 months as a member of a team of four. The successful applicant is expected to depart for Willis Island from Cairns in April 2026. We are also seeking applicants interested in applying for the October 2026 deployment.

Willis Island is the only permanently inhabited Island in the Coral Sea Territory, an external territory of Australia, located beyond the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea. The island is located some 450 kilometres east of Cairns, Queensland. The four Bureau staff are the only residents on Willis Island and provisions are resupplied during the staff changeover every six months. Willis Island is home to an abundance of wildlife particularly birdlife and is an important Green Turtle nesting site.

The Willis Island TO4 will be undertaking moderate to very complex operational, infrastructure and network support tasks such as coordination of resources for maintenance, inspections and return to service of sophisticated technologies, advanced system diagnostics, fault finding, technical administration and providing support to Willis Island operations.

You will be expected to participate in station cleaning and general household duties and actively contribute to a positive work culture that supports staff to live and work in a remote environment.

As a member of a small team living and working in an isolated environment, there are several personal qualities and technical requirements that will determine suitability for this position. Applicants will be assessed on technical experience, knowledge and competencies, as well as personal resilience and adaptability in a unique living and working arrangements. This is an opportunity for the successful applicant to gain experience working in a remote location and enable personal development in this role.

Where required, the Bureau will provide relevant training to successful applicants and this may involve travel to Melbourne or other locations prior to departure to Willis Island. Travel to Willis Island will be by boat and staff will have shared living arrangements during the staff changeover on Willis Island.
