Região Geográfica Intermediária de Campo Grande, Brasil Australian Antarctic Division Tempo inteiro

The Australian Antarctic Division engages Marine Operations Specialists each season to operate a range of craft including Jet Barges, Workboats, Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo vessels (LARC), Science Vessels and Inflatable Rescue Boats (IRBs) to support station resupply and science expedition voyages.

We conduct these operations at Australia's three Antarctic continental stations, sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island and other remote Southern Ocean locations.

As a Marine Operations Specialist, you are responsible for the safe execution of waterborne activities in accordance with the AAD's authorised Safety Management System and Standard Operating Procedures.

Common evolutions include the ship to shore transfer of expeditioners, supporting scientific research, cargo transfer operations, and supporting the establishment and monitoring of ship-to-shore fuel transfer operations.

Suitable candidates may then be selected from the group of successful Marine Operations Specialists to be a Watercraft Coordinator.

The Watercraft Coordinator works with the Voyage Leader and Deputy Voyage Leader to ensure waterborne operations are achieved in a safe, compliant, and efficient manner.

Marine Operations Specialists are generally employed through the summer voyage season.

However, at times winter season positions may be available to support specific project outcomes.

Contracts range from 5 to 12 weeks and are dependent on the voyage duration.

Please note that this role does not involve the operation of larger vessels and applicants must have extensive, current hands-on experience in operating small watercraft under 15 m in length in a range of operational conditions.

The Australian Antarctic Program's 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.

  • Base salary + additional allowances when on voyage to and from Antarctica starts from $157,265 per annum for Marine Operations Specialists and $161,811 per annum for Watercraft Coordinators.
  • A generous employer superannuation contribution of up to 15.4% will be paid in addition to salary and allowances.
