CSIRO, Australia

Updated: about 1 month ago

The SKA Observatory (SKAO) is a next-generation radio astronomy facility that will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics. Enabled by cutting-edge technology, it promises to have a major impact on society, in science and beyond.

In Australia, the SKAO is collaborating with CSIRO to operate and support the construction of the low frequency telescope (SKA-Low) in remote Western Australia on Wajarri Yamaji Country.

The Traditional Owners and native title holders, the Wajarri Yamaji, have gifted CSIRO with the traditional name Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara for the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, home to the SKA-Low telescope. The traditional name means ‘sharing sky and stars’ in the Wajarri language.

The Field Team Supervisor will lead and mentor a team of up to eight technicians, deploying and maintaining the world’s largest low frequency telescope, SKA-Low. This role demands strong leadership, operational expertise, and the ability to ensure efficient field works. The Field Team Supervisor will manage field technicians, ensure safety compliance, optimise processes, and maintain high standards of quality and productivity.
