The Role
We are seeking a high performing, motivated and enthusiastic APS 5 Technical Specialist to join the Pacific Systems Program Office (PACSPO) team. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work with a team of experts across a unique workforce consisting of Pacific Island Nations Crews, Australian Public Servants, and contracted engineers.
In this role, you will contribute to providing technical and support services to the Pacific Maritime Security Program (PMSP), in the sustainment of the Guardian Class Patrol Boats (GCPB), Pacific Patrol Boats (PPB), and Small Landing Craft (SLC) external maintenance periods and defect rectification as required. Your sound technical knowledge, communication, and interpersonal skills will have a direct impact on Defence capability.
About our Team
Since the 1960s, Australia has undertaken a range of capacity-building and engagement activities in the South Pacific and Southeast Asia under the Defence Cooperation Program. The centrepiece of Australia's Defence engagement in the South Pacific is the Pacific Patrol Boat (PPB) Program, which involved the gifting of 22 Pacific Class Patrol Boats between 1987-1997 and the current PPB replacement program, which will provide 22 new Guardian Class Patrol Boats to participating Pacific Island countries.
Recognising that the boats are sovereign assets of the participating nations, Australia is committed to providing a range of engineering, technical, and logistics support services to ensure the ongoing operational capability of the Pacific Patrol Boat fleet, which is provisioned through the Pacific Systems Program Office. Your role in the delivery of technical support for the fleet will provide a vital input to maintaining capability for Pacific Island countries.
