We are seeking an enthusiastic engineer or technician to join CSIRO's Seagoing Instrumentation Team and become involved in the impactful work of our Marine National Facility’s blue-water research vessel - RV Investigator.

A passion for working at sea with a diverse team conducting marine and atmospheric science are characteristics of the successful candidate.
In this role, you will apply your electronic, software, mechanical, and operational decision-making skills to enable scientific research on voyages in environments from the Antarctic to the tropics.

A requirement of the role is to provide up to 85 days per year of seagoing support on voyages that are typically 3 to 8 weeks in duration.
