Meet Shane Dart one of our Trainee Deckhands<\/strong><\/p>\n

I joined AMS Group 12 months ago as a Trainee Deckhand after being selected for the Quandamooka traineeship program.<\/p>\n

I have learnt a lot and gained hands on training and mentoring from the experienced launch crew members. I have nearly completed the AMSA training workbook which will mean I can move into a Deckhand position. I will continue to work towards my Launch Master qualification to become an Assistant Launch Master and drive the launch boats.<\/p>\n

This is an experience of a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Describe your current role?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In my current role, I conduct refuelling checks and maintenance on vessels. We transport Marine Pilots to ships safely. We tie up berthing vessels using rope skills I\u2019ve learnt. I am currently completing my AMSA Master 5 qualification, which I am required to complete workbooks, on the job drivering experience as well as in classroom training. A huge part of my role is being trained and mentored, particularly to do with learning about national standards as well as commercial vessels and compliance.<\/p>\n

How did you end up in your current role?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Once in a lifetime opportunity of an expression of interest which was through the Magaraba Moorgipun Elders & Counsel and was offered an opportunity to interview for a traineeship.<\/p>\n

What do you love most about your role?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I love being out in the weather and seeing the tides and swells. I love learning about vessel movements and navigation, passage planning & timings as well as engineering and mechanical sills.<\/p>\n

I enjoy my day-to-day tasks along with the requirements the job entails.<\/p>\n

How does AMSG support your career growth?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
    \n
  • AMSG provides inductions during the onboarding process and then we are given an opportunity to gain sea-time and work alongside Marine Pilots.<\/li>\n
  • Facilitated accommodation.<\/li>\n
  • Opportunity to grow in the pilotage diversion and try other technical roles throughout the company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    How would you describe the culture at AMSG?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    AMSG has a very welcoming culture, and the other employees are always willing to help out and provide knowledge if needed. I have made some amazing friendships and work closely alongside others.<\/p>\n

    Why do you enjoy working at AMS?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    I have always loved the work, working with top tier pilots, being able to be out on the water every day and coming home to family and friends (work life balance). I have enjoyed learning how the weather affects the ships and the level of height safety standards.<\/p>\n

    3 pieces of advice would you give yourself as a student.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. Don\u2019t be afraid to try something new \u2013 you don\u2019t know unless you try.<\/li>\n
    2. Ask a lot of questions as that shows you are keen, and others will go out of their way to teach you.<\/li>\n
    3. No question is a dumb question.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Future Career Aspirations<\/strong><\/h5>\n

      I would like to gain my Launch Master qualification and stay working for AMSG and in the future hopefully work on boats around the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
