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 Boat Systems Program Office.
Your role in the delivery of Waterfront Support for the fleet provides a vital input to maintaining capability for Pacific Island countries.
Our Ideal Candidate

You will be someone who can follow procedures and instructions, showing a commitment to compliance with safety, policy and legislative requirements.
You will have high attention to detail, along with a strong sense of self-management, the ability to manage tasks and prioritise appropriately.
