You will also assist other trades as required. Technicians can be employed in either a summer or winter position, and shorter winter opportunities may also arise.

You should apply for this role if you have the appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience and an interest in the challenge of living and working in a small community in a remote environment. Applicants will be assessed and if successful placed in a role for training and deployment, or a merit pool that will be used for future seasons.

The Australian Antarctic Program’s (AAP) vision is to ensure Antarctica is valued, protected, and understood. Working with the AAP provides a unique opportunity to experience Antarctica and the Southern Ocean while supporting world-leading science.

The AAP aims to support expeditioner growth, professionally and personally, with a focus on wellbeing. We strive to employ versatile, proactive, and community-minded people. Expeditioners will need to contribute to a small team and be resilient as they face the challenges of living in an isolated environment.

Employment conditions
  • The annual base salary when in Australia starts from $82,993 per annum .
  • Base salary + additional allowances when in Antarctica starts from $150,947 per annum .
  • A generous employer superannuation contribution of up to 15.4% will be paid in addition to salary and allowances.
  • You will accrue recreation leave at the equivalent of 20 days per annum pro rata. Please note that recreation leave is not available in Antarctica, but will be paid out on return to Australia.
What we are looking for

To apply for this role you must have the skills and licences listed below:

Qualifications/licences

Provide copy with application:

  • Certificate of Accreditation from NEBB, TACA, AIRAH, ASHRAE, or Equivalent.
  • Citizenship – In accordance with the PS Act 1999, APS employees are required to be Australian citizens. Persons who are not Australian citizens will generally only be considered where there are no suitable Australian applicants, with next considerations being Australian residents with work rights and New Zealand citizens.

Obtain prior to commencement:

  • White Card (issued after May 2009), or the ability to attain prior to commencement.
  • Valid Passport – The expiry date of the passport (and any relevant visa) must be at least 6 months beyond the planned end date of your intended stay in the Antarctic or sub-Antarctic.
  • Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) must be valid for at least 18 months beyond the date of AAD commencement.
  • Provide CPR (HLTAID009) must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of AAD commencement.
Knowledge and experience
  • Balancing reticulated primary and secondary heating hot water and associated pumping systems.
  • Balancing supply and return air systems including fans and motorised and manual dampers.
  • Fume cupboard annual testing requirements.
  • Fault finding and calibration for temperature and pressure sensors.
  • Motorised HHW control valves and motorised air dampers.
  • Experience with building management system hardware and software including installation, fault finding, programming, and tuning.
  • Using a Tour and Anderson computerised balancing instrument.
  • Using a Shortridge flow hood.
  • Preparing reports and commissioning information using word processing and spreadsheet software.

These are not essential to the role. To be suitable you do not need any of these, but they may make you more competitive against other applicants.

Other requirements

As a proactive and positive member of the community, you will:

  • Maintain a personal and practical commitment to AAD policies and standard operating procedures (including work, health and safety and environmental policies). Training and guidance in regard to all responsibilities relevant to your position will be provided.
  • Be rostered to perform duties to support the community life of the expedition, such as general kitchen duties, garbage clearance, general cleaning duties, and assisting other expedition members with official programs, to ensure an equitable contribution.
  • Work in areas outside of your primary role, for example, aiding other areas or science projects, or participating in general labouring tasks such as clearing snow or handling cargo.
Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

At the AAD, we value diversity in all its forms – background, experience, and perspective. We recognise the challenges that come with our work and are committed to fostering an inclusive culture for all. We encourage applications from everyone, especially people from under-represented groups like Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, women, gender-diverse people, LGBTQIA+ communities, and those of different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

During the recruitment selection process, the AAD assesses individual personal qualities expeditioners need to successfully live and work in an isolated Antarctic/sub-Antarctic community.

Covid-19

Expeditioners must comply with the AAD’s Infectious Respiratory Disease Management Plan, including the requirement to have had a COVID-19 vaccination or a medically documented COVID-19 infection, within 12 months of deployment. More information is available.
