Current priority roles in the Australian Defence Force for
North Queensland include:
Receive,
process and transmit classified and personnel data in this ICT role, ensuring
essential information flows throughout your ship, between vessels, and beyond.
Communicators and
Information Systems (CIS) Operators (known in the Navy as Communication and
Information Systems Sailors) operate the Navy's telecommunications systems
using equipment which spans the communications spectrum. The CIS Operator also
performs visual communications and operates and administers a number of Local
and Wide area information technology networks used in the fleet. If you are a
capable individual who can handle the challenge and responsibility of ensuring
essential information flows to enable the Navy to fight and win at sea, a job
in the field of telecommunications, visual communications and information
technology maybe for you.
Manage the receipt, storage and delivery of equipment and
supplies that are vital to Army capability, on base and on deployments, in this
important logistics role.
Like the local hardware store, Warehouse Assistants are
‘front-of-house’ suppliers, providing direct support to their unit, the
customer. As a Warehouse Assistant (Unit Supply Operator) you'll become a
supply specialist, providing stores and equipment to your unit. This could
range from weapons and ammunition to stationery and food rations.
Choose a part-time construction role that really takes
you places, building roads, bridges, temporary airfields and military defences
for exercises and operations.
The Combat Engineer belongs to the Royal Australian
Engineers (RAE) Corps. RAE soldiers are known as 'Sappers' and are responsible
for assisting our own forces to move whilst also denying mobility to the enemy.
Sappers are trained in a broad range of tasks including bridge-building,
clearing minefields, demolitions, field defences as well as building, road and
airfield construction and repair. A Sapper, trained as a Combat Engineer, is a
combat soldier with a wide range of trade and technical skills. Combat
Engineers can wield a chainsaw, build a bridge, clear a minefield, build a road
or airfield and use explosives to demolish a target. The Combat Engineer is a
soldier who is a specialist in military field engineering.
Take responsibility for the state of the art electronic
systems used to control, navigate and arm the Air Force's formidable fleet of
world-class military aircraft.
The Avionics Trade is responsible for the ongoing
maintenance of Avionics systems and equipment at either flight line or workshop
level which may include instrumentation, communication, navigation,
surveillance, radar, electronic warfare systems, self-protection and explosive
ordnance systems, automatic flight control systems, oxygen systems and
electrical power generation and distribution systems. Avionics Technicians are
employed on duties which include aircraft flight line handling and
replenishment; aircraft oxygen replenishment; inspection, removal and
installation, test and troubleshooting of aircraft avionic components and
systems at all levels of maintenance; disassembly and reassembly of aircraft
components; preparation and use of aircraft support equipment; manufacture and
repair of aircraft electrical looms and antenna cables; servicing aircraft
earthing systems; identification and demanding of aircraft spares; preparation
and packaging of technical equipment for transportation; and amendment and
maintenance of technical publications; inspection, maintenance, servicing,
repair test and fault diagnosis of electronic components and systems; soldering
of miniature electronic components; oxygen systems and weapons systems.
