Henderson, Australia ASC Full time

An exciting career awaits you at ASC, Australia's submarine company - recently named as the sustainer of Australia's conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines.

We have immediate opportunities for skilled people to undertake world-leading training in the United States (U.S), setting you up for a secure career back home in the nuclear-powered submarine program - Australia's largest-ever industrial endeavour.

You will have access to cutting edge training in Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) for 2-3 years, with some roles completing placements at other locations throughout the USA during the full course of the assignment.

Find your deeper purpose working with submarines at ASC.

Role & Responsibilities

We are seeking experienced, bachelor’s degree qualified Mechanical Engineers to fulfil this opportunity. Other degrees with cross over in this space may be considered.

If successful, and once deployed, you will be immersed into the United States Navy processes, procedures and working on the Virginia Class systems in Pearl Harbour or other U.S locations. You will also undertake a combination of instructor led classroom-based training and on the job learning.

Opportunities are available immediately and individuals wishing to express interest in a position should be available and interested in being repatriated in the near term.

At the completion of your deployment, you will return to Western Australia to carry out the planning, management and in-water maintenance activities on the United States Navy Virginia Class Submarines.

Please note this is a Civilian role and recruitment processes will differ from those undertaken in Active Service Defence recruitment.

Eligibility Criteria

The successful person will possess:

  • A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (other degrees with cross over in this space may be considered),
  • This opportunity is open to individuals with between 1-5 + years of experience in your proven field,
  • Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Defence Security Clearance to NV1 level,
  • Deployments to the US in 2024 and 2025
  • Eligibility to obtain an A2 working VISA and International Training Order (ITO) in the US. ASC can discuss this with you during the interview process,
  • Strong communication skills and ability to build and maintain relationships with a variety of stakeholders.

What are the benefits?

We’re here to support you prior to departing for the US and when you are overseas. As an ASC employee working in the US, you will have access to a host of great benefits:

  • Be paid to work, train, and live in the United States for the next 2-3 years (locations include Pearl Harbor or Virginia)
  • Work on US Virginia Class nuclear-powered submarines and cutting-edge nuclear technology.
  • Undertake world-leading training in nuclear technology.
  • Have access to benefits and entitlements to support relocation and your time living and working in the US (such as cost of living allowances, housing assistance, family assistance)
  • Return home to a secure job with ASC in the future nuclear-powered submarine program.
  • Access to ASC’s extensive employment benefits.

Next Steps

Applicants who are successfully shortlisted will be contacted as soon as possible for a brief, initial phone call to discuss further information on the opportunity and to discuss eligibility. From there, you may be invited to interview.

Applicants who are not shortlisted will also be notified via email and at the earliest opportunity.
