Your role

You are deep in the Pacific Ocean monitoring the complex system of reefs and atolls that lie in your ship's path. The situational information you provide to Command is critical to the ship's safety. Identifying a military threat located amongst the islands is of even greater importance.

In the role of Radar and Sonar System Operator (Combat Systems Operator), you'll be the eyes and ears of the Navy, with vision that extends far beyond the horizon.

The tools of your surveillance trade will be the sophisticated sonar and radar systems used for both navigation and defence purposes, along with high-tech information systems.

At sea you will be responsible for locating and identifying air, surface, sub surface and land contacts, and controlling and monitoring aircraft. As a full member of the ship's crew you will also perform other duties such as administering first aid, being part of a boarding party and general seamanship activities.

If you enjoy working with technology, have a good eye for detail, and operate well under pressure, this is your chance to embark on a really worthwhile career. Better still, you’ll be employed by a dynamic organisation that offers a great lifestyle plus opportunities you simply won’t find anywhere else.
