Live & work in Antarctica - a unique experience

Meet remarkable people & make lifelong friendships

Contracts from 4 - 12+ months, starting mid to late 2026

As a Station Mechanical Supervisor (SMS) with the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) you will lead the mechanical team (one to six staff) in the safe undertaking of all onsite activities. These activities include the operation and maintenance of station power generation facilities, mobile plant, fuel farms and the mechanical workshop. The SMS is accountable for all mechanical operations and decisions on station. You will also perform some mechanical work and operate equipment as part of the mechanical team. As part of the wintering crew, you are required to participate in an on-call roster, to respond to out of hours issues – mainly related to the station powerhouse.

An Antarctic station has limited trades, plant and equipment, materials and resources, and there can be conflicting priorities for the work program due to science support, station operational requirements, community assistance and the disrupting influence of the weather. It will be your responsibility to schedule the daily work tasks of the mechanical team based on the predicted weather and availability of plant and resources to meet not only the works program, but the overall station needs.

To apply for this role, you must have the skills and licences listed below:

  • Maintaining appropriate work site safety procedures, including knowledge of work health and safety standards.
  • Diesel engine maintenance, diagnostics, repair, and overhaul (such as Caterpillar, Cummins, electronic and non-electronic).
  • Maintenance and repair of heavy plant, including tracked, wheeled and stationary equipment (such as Cat loaders, tractors and excavators, Grove cranes, Komatsu crushers).
  • Managing plant and equipment and workshop facilities and supervision of a mechanical trades team.

Capabilities:

  • Proven team leader skills.
  • High level verbal and written communication skills to communicate clearly and effectively across a broad range of stakeholders.
