Maritime Systems Engineering

Rick Hunt found his calling at just 16 years old, when he joined the Navy. He started as a technical apprentice working on aircraft avionic systems while completing his trade qualification before moving into the technical section of a high security area of Defence, where he enjoyed travelling overseas and spending time on ships.

Some of our AMT Running Group enjoying the Sunset Run this week with around 3,000 other starters, around and through the Melbourne Zoo, amidst the roars of the lions and the wonder of other animals. Great training too, bring on the Melbourne Corporate Teams Triathlon in a few weeks.

At AMT we pride ourselves on our long history of naval ship design, with our beginnings in the years before the most successful ANZAC Frigate Program. Back then we were Blohm + Voss Australia, where we played a key role in the lobbying of the MEKO 200 ANZ design to the Royal Australian Navy and Royal New Zealand Navy. 

The Australian Maritime Technologies team were honoured to take part in the Walking Off The War Within 2023 Challenge in Ballarat on Saturday.

While ocean sailing began as a childhood pastime, it later set the stage for Iain Davidson’s career in naval engineering. Today, Iain’s position as the Electrical Systems Manager at AMT combines his enduring fascination with the seas and expertise in engineering.

As Australia embarks on its biggest naval shipbuilding program since World War II, the number of people choosing to study maritime engineering degrees is at an all-time low.

Last week, we held our annual winter luncheon. It’s become an important mid-year marker for our team, not only as another opportunity to bring everyone together to unwind and share a few laughs but also as a chance to pause and acknowledge another half-year of rewarding and dedicated work in the industry we love – naval engineering.

Our amazing team has been a well-kept secret at AMT, but we think it’s high time we changed that! Meet Andrew Cooper – AMT’s Hull Department lead, a role that spans Naval Architecture, Structural Design and Outfitting.

We are proud to announce that we are continuing our support of Soldier On by upgrading our gold sponsorship and signing on as a Platinum Pledge Partner.
