Your role

When operating deep beneath the surface at speeds of up to 20 knots, the propulsion and life support systems of a Collins Class submarine need to work at peak capability. This is no ordinary engineering challenge, and submarines are no ordinary workplaces.

As a Marine Engineer Submariner you'll be the technical expert on board your submarine, responsible for the repair and maintenance of:

• the submarine's structure
• propulsion systems
• electrical generation and distribution
• electrical conversion equipment
• domestic and associated mechanical services
• main and auxiliary machinery
• engines
• automatic and remote control systems
• hydraulics
• air conditioning and refrigeration, and
• ventilation systems.

When ashore you will perform duties in support of the fleet including:

• system specification
• acquisition and through-life support
• system certification
• machinery trials, and
• the training and management of sailors and officers.

The role is as rewarding as it is varied, and offers excellent opportunities for advancement and personal growth.
