Your role

You're many metres beneath the waves participating in a major multinational exercise. Your commander is issuing orders to all parts of the submarine, based on the latest intelligence which was received and disseminated by the CIS operator. The continued success of the mission is dependent on your efficient operation of the onboard communication and information systems.

It takes a special kind of resourcefulness to join the Deep Elite, living and working with a close-knit team in the unique environment of a Collins Class submarine. But the rewards are many and varied and the onboard camaraderie is like no other.

As a Communications and Information Systems Sailor Submariner you'll operate internal and external communications and information systems, which include:

• limited visual communications
• telecommunications
• communications security
• classified military networks
• radio and satellite communications systems, and
• computer network defence.

Working at the heart of the action you'll receive and transmit classified and personnel data in this important position, ensuring essential information flows throughout your submarine, between vessels, and beyond.

This requires high levels of responsibility and maturity, as much of the material you handle will be of a sensitive nature. You'll be fully trained to carry out a broad variety of tasks, and the skills you learn and the security status you achieve, will stand you in good stead wherever your career takes you.

Given the limited crew size on submarines, every submariner gains the skills and knowledge to multitask on their vessel and react in the shortest possible time to incidents as they occur. This means you will also perform duties such as:

• surface lookout
• helmsman, and
• first response fire fighter.

If you have good communication skills and attention to detail, plus a love of adventure, this is your chance to embark on a rewarding career. Better still, you’ll be working for a dynamic organisation that offers a great lifestyle plus opportunities you simply won’t find anywhere else.
