Want to make a difference with your volunteering, preserving maritime history while spending your time with a great team in a friendly environment? Sydney Heritage Fleet is a volunteer organisation dedicated to preserving, restoring and operating vessels which include Tall Ship James Craig, 1912 K-class ferry Kanangra, coastal steamship John Oxley, 1902 steam tug Waratah, 1902 VIP launch Lady Hopetoun, 1903 schooner Boomerang, Tugs and several diesel motor launches.

You will be a fully trained and experienced engineering workshop Fitter and Machinist, able to work without close supervision, to overhaul equipment and make new components.

All our vessels are either in regular use or are under restoration. The work includes making parts, overhauling pumps, steam engines, electrical items, and repairing winches at our Rozelle Workshop.

You will need the ability to safely operate lathes, milling machines and drilling machines and equipment normally found in a mechanical workshop.

We are based in Rozelle Bay, not far from the light rail and buses. On your first day you will receive a cheerful welcome, safety orientation training and a guided tour of our work centres.

The Sydney Heritage Fleet is a partner in the Australian Government Jobseeker program, so if you fit their criteria and are suitable for roles that SHF need filled, you may be able to work in our dynamic teams and continue on Jobseeker support.

The many benefits of volunteering with SHF include learning new skills or sharpening your existing skills, meeting new friends and finding purpose and personal fulfilment.
