Communication Systems Operator - WA

Join a dedicated team of cyber communication experts harnessing cutting-edge tech to enable the Army to stay informed and have a decisive edge in defending Australia.

As a Communications Systems Operator, you’ll join an elite team of communications experts – the signallers. Dedicated leaders in telecommunications, information systems and cyber security, the signallers enable secure and reliable voice and data networks across the Australian Army and wider defence establishment. As a member of this highly trained team, you’ll be responsible for delivering vital military communications within fast moving, highly challenging environments in peace and conflict, both in Australia and overseas.

Working in a range of environments, from rural locations to high density urban areas, you’ll be responsible for operating satellite terminals, radios and advanced security equipment to enable effective communications anywhere in the world. You’ll do whatever it takes to ensure your commander can communicate over a range of different networks, whether that’s constructing advanced field antennas, maintaining network security or operating a specialised suite of software. It’s a rewarding role that offers unmatched variety – one week you’ll be working from the back of an armoured vehicle, the next could see you working from a Navy vessel or communications centre. In this role you’ll provide communications, information systems and electronic warfare support to the Australian Army and the ADF to allow command and control of deployed forces in peace, crisis and conflict on any operation, anywhere in the world.
