X1 position Garden Island

Reporting to the Operations Supervisor, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day operation of Defence fuel storage and distribution facilities. No Defence or fuel industry experience is required. It's definitely a bonus if you have it, but not essential as full training will be provided.

Your duties will include operating fuel handling equipment, monitoring fuel quality and stock levels, supporting maintenance activities, and ensuring all work is carried out safely and in line with operational and security requirements.

We're also looking for someone who is open to supporting other sites across the Greater Sydney region when required. This may involve spending a few weeks at another location to assist with leave coverage and operational needs.

Hours: This role is based in the Sydney Basin and generally works Monday to Friday, with day shifts typically running from around 6-7am through to 2-3pm. Weekend work is not part of the regular roster, and overtime, night shifts or weekend work are quite rare.

From time to time, there may be opportunities to support other sites such as RAAF Richmond. When supporting these locations, shifts can vary and may include day, afternoon or night shifts, particularly during exercise periods which usually occur for around three months each year. Typical shift times are:

- Day Shift: 6-7am to 2-3pm
- Afternoon Shift: 1-9pm or 3-11pm (includes a 20% shift loading on ordinary hours)

Night shifts are generally only required during exercise periods.

Duties Include

- Safely operate and manage aviation,



Navy and/or ground fuel installations in line with compliance requirements.
- Monitor and maintain fuel quality through regular sampling and testing.
- Ensure fuel quality, compliance, volume, and availability using systems like JFIMS and SCADA; ideal for someone comfortable with technology.

Requires

- A valid driver’s licence (HR or HC desirable but not essential at entry).
- Australian citizenship and ability to pass a police check.
