Job role
Your role:
As a Mechanical Engineer (also known as Marine Engineer in the Navy), you'll get more responsibility early in your career than most civilian engineering roles, getting you ahead, faster. As the technical leader and expert onboard, you’ll be responsible for the ship’s structures and systems, solving challenges and making sure everything run smoothly.
It's a challenging and dynamic role that requires a high level of maturity and professionalism. Not only will you be in charge as an engineer, but you’ll also be leading, mentoring and managing a team of around 50 people across your department. Guiding your team and providing advice is an essential part of what it means to succeed in this position.
The professional development you gain as a Navy Engineer enables automatic Chartered Engineer (CPEng) accreditation with Engineers Australia, giving you international recognition of your Engineering competency.
Mechanical Engineers are responsible for a variety of systems and structures, including, but not limited to:
- Ships structure
- Propulsion systems
- Electrical generation and distribution
- Domestic and associated mechanical services
- Main and auxiliary machinery
- Engines
- Air conditioning
- Hydraulics
Life as a Mechanical Engineer is constantly changing, with new challenges regularly emerging as the Navy introduces new technology, ships and systems. To meet these challenges, you’ll complete a variety of internal courses and will have the opportunity for postgrad training at different universities throughout your career.
There are also a wide variety of shore based positions for periods when you are not posted to a ship including operational planning, project management, career management and general managerial engineering roles.

Company background
It’s an exciting time to be part of the Navy, with the growth of our workforce and new technologies underway right now to make sure Australia can protect our maritime interests in an increasingly complex global environment.
With a current investment in Navy of more than $90 billion in new technology and assets, the organisation is looking to employ Australians to support the most significant modernisation program in more than 60 years. A dynamic and people focused organisation, the Navy is seeking Australians from a broad range of interests and backgrounds to join an inclusive and professional Navy community.
The Navy values its people first and foremost. When you join Navy, you can expect to work in highly supportive team environments learning new skills, being mentored and developed to become the best version of yourself.
The Navy is one of the few workplaces that offer such a large variety of roles to suit a broad range of interests. People studying science, technology, engineering and maths will find many roles where they can apply their knowledge and work on innovative technology.
