Be at the heart of the action on Sydney Harbour—drive smooth sailing behind the scenes as our new Operations & Rostering Officer.

About the Role

As our Operations & Rostering Officer, you’ll be at the core of keeping Sydney Harbour’s most iconic fleet moving. This role is all about ensuring our vessels are safely and efficiently crewed, with around 80% of your focus on workforce rostering and the remainder supporting marine operations. 

A day in the life of our Operations & Rostering Officer could be:

• Prepare and manage crew rosters across a 7-day operation in Deputy.
• Liaise with crew to fill shifts and manage last-minute changes such as unavailability or sick leave.
• Ensure rosters comply with enterprise agreements, fatigue management guidelines, and safe manning requirements.
• Work closely with Charter Sales and Scheduled Cruise teams to confirm vessel crewing for all departures.
• Maintain up-to-date records of crew availability, qualifications, and shift compliance.
• Provide administrative support to the Marine Operations team as required.
• Assist with continuous improvement of rostering and scheduling processes.

About You

You’re an organised and proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. With strong attention to detail and a natural ability to juggle multiple priorities, you enjoy bringing order to operating schedules and working collaboratively with a diverse team. Clear communication is one of your strengths—you’re confident liaising with people at all levels and pride yourself on being approachable and solutions-focused. While rostering or marine industry experience is an advantage, what matters most is your adaptability, enthusiasm to learn, and commitment to keeping operations running smoothly.
