If you’re interested in a hands-on role which involves machinery and equipment, this could be a role for you.

Your role:
Every vehicle from 4WDs to tanks and helicopters needs fuel, oil and lubricants in the right quantity, at optimum quality, and in the right place.

As a Fuel Specialist you'll be in charge of managing, distributing and storing fuel products, as well as the refuelling itself. You'll work on military bases, on exercises and on deployments, so the job could take you across Australia and even overseas.

This rewarding role carries plenty of responsibility and variety. One day you could be in barracks, contaminant testing a batch of diesel, and the next could see you out bush beneath the spinning rotors of a Chinook helicopter carrying out a 'hot refuel'.

No experience is necessary as your training will arm you with the specialist and driving skills necessary. You'll also be taught how to operate effectively on your own initiative, as well as in a team environment.

Location:
Following your initial military training, you could be posted to either Townsville or Amberly QLD, with opportunities available in Victoria and Northern Territory as you increase in rank and seniority. It’s not possible to guarantee a specific posting location for the duration of your service, therefore you must be willing to relocate.

Salary:
In the Army you'll get paid a competitive salary from day one regardless of your age, experience or qualifications. Upon commencing training, your starting salary will be approximately $51,277 per annum plus 16.4% superannuation and your pay will increase as you progress through training.

On completion of your initial military training and initial employment training, you could earn $73,253 per annum plus generous super.

Life in the Army:
Action, adventure, exciting career opportunities and amazing mateship—there’s so much to love about life in the Army. Whether you’re looking to pick up a new skill, get qualified with fully paid training or are up for a new challenge, you’ll find it all in the Army.

Not to mention there’s also the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from serving your country and providing support to communities in need, both here and overseas.

This is no ordinary job—but that’s exactly what you’re looking for. Enjoy a rewarding career, opportunities to travel, excellent fitness facilities, and free medical and dental; all in a dynamic and fulfilling work environment.

Apply now:
For this role, you must be an Australian citizen, 17.5 years-old at the time of enlistment, hold a provisional or full driver’s licence, and have completed an Australian Year 10 education (or equivalent) with passes in English and Mathematics.

You must also be able to successfully obtain a security clearance and meet the minimum medical and fitness requirements. Further information can be accessed via https://army.defencejobs.gov.au/joining-and-training/can-I-join/eligibility-check
