- Searching
- Interviewing and/or questioning
- Profiling of persons and/or documentation
- Patrolling and surveillance
- Ship servicing
- Primary processing
- Addressing non-compliance and taking appropriate actions

Working as part of a tight-knit and busy team, you will focus on maritime activity, including all craft types (commercial, yachts, cruise ships and fishing vessels) and sea cargo, as well as operational activity within the port environment itself.

Hours of work involve shifts to provide 7 days/nights a week coverage, and you will also be rostered for on-call work out of hours and at weekends.

The starting salary for this role is $58,718. There is also an additional allowance of $10,043 for rostered shift work.

- A passion for protecting our borders and affinity with what Customs does
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to handle diverse situations professionally and tactfully
- Great attention to detail and the ability to make sound judgements under pressure
- A high level of integrity and a commitment to upholding laws, policy and procedures
- Ability to adapt quickly, work in an often, fast-paced environment and be comfortable embracing technological advancements and procedural changes
- Achieve and maintain a level of fitness and physical ability to enable you to undertake the full range of duties
