The Hunter Class Frigate Team

The Hunter Class Frigate Program is transforming Australia's shipbuilding industry by supporting the building of a world-class, continuous naval shipbuilding capability for our nation.

The Hunter class frigates are based on BAE Systems' Type 26 Global Combat Ship design, modified to meet the Royal Australian Navy's operational requirements.

Each warship will feature an acoustically-quiet hull and unique sonar capabilities, modular digital design and open systems architecture to facilitate through-life support and upgrades as new technology develops.

As a Naval Shipbuilding and Sustainment Identity Card (NSSIC) is required for this role, applicants must have the right to work in Australia and be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate clearances including NSSIC and ITAR.
