This role will be responsible to the Air Combat and ISR Program Manager and will report to the Hawk Lead Instructor for provision of training, administrative and subject matter expertise support applicable to Introductory Fighter Course (IFC) and Weapons System Operator (WSO) training and liaise with other resident instructional staff.

Based solely at 76SQN, RAAF Base Williamtown; there is no expectation of deployed operations or requirement to support ADF exercise planning or management activity elsewhere.

• Conduct mission briefs and debriefs as appropriate.
• Evaluate and document student performance and progress during training sessions using ULTRA.
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of training material that supports syllabus delivery. This involves the ability to use CAE’s suite of synthetic entity programming and mission/scenario development ‘WYSIWYG’ tools which will be taught over time.
• Complete all initial and recurrent training activities required to establish and maintain Simulator Instructor qualification in accordance with 78WG Standing Instructions. This is by means of a biennial simulator instructional assessment by the 78WG FICA as observer to a teaching event.

Our ideal candidate has:

• Hold, or ability to gain, a Certificate IV in Workplace Training and Assessment or recognised equivalent ACG instructional experience.
• Hold, or have held, a Military QFI or OFI qualification.
