PREAMBLE
Part of the function of the SUBFLOT Support Group (Devonport) is to provide personnel to support the Complement Reduction phase of the Trafalgar Class submarine disposal programme.
On completion of a submarine’s operational life, a period of over 2 years is required to prepare the platform for long-term storage to manage decay heat, secondary and hotel systems until they can be safely decommissioned.
As a member of a close-knit team, you will assist in this process, using your skills as a specialist submariner to safely and effectively operate and maintain the unit.
This will include the provision of specialist advice to our industry partners, Babcock International and the Submarine Delivery Agency, with whom you will work closely.
Submarine disposal presents a unique challenge which is not encountered in an operational platform; therefore, you will need to be a critical thinker with a flexible approach.
This position requires you to watch keep in a structured and stable watch bill.
You must be medically fit enough to attend all relevant training courses.
