Voss was appointed as midfield coach by the Power after Phil Walsh replaced Brenton Sanderson at Adelaide.
Days after joining Port, the three-time premiership captain of the Brisbane Lions declared he still had aspirations to coach a team in his own right.
He certainly appears to have arrived at the right environment to fulfil his dream - Walsh was the second Power assistant to fill a senior vacancy in less than two years after Alan Richardson joined St Kilda in late 2013.
Both Walsh and Richardson served under Hinkley for just one season each.
But with a young family moving to Adelaide with him, Voss said he planned a longer stint at Port than his recent predecessors.
"I have very long-term aspirations of being a coach again but that's not my agenda here," Voss said.
"My agenda here is to do the role exceptionally well – the midfield manager's role – work with a group of young men that hopefully can build towards the ultimate success.
"I've always been of the belief that whatever you're committing to, you're 100 per cent involved in that."
Power coach Ken Hinkley said Voss, having previously coached the Lions for five years, would be a huge asset to both the club and to himself.
Voss mentored the Lions until being sacked late in 2013.
Hinkley said Voss’s experiences gained during the stint, as well as throughout his highly decorated playing career, would be invaluable for an emerging midfield core at Alberton.
"Michael will have some incredible ideas to bring to our group … he'll bring a freshness to the way we want to play and we'll listen," Hinkley said.
"How many clubs get a three-time premiership captain and Brownlow medallist to come and work with their group?
"I've got a bloke who's coached in my seat for five years … he's going to be able to be such a great sounding board for me.
"I'm a bit older, but Michael's got great experience that I haven't had."
Voss’s recent position as co-host of the television program The Recruit helped him remember the joy of what he described as "pure coaching".
Although he wants to again become a senior coach, he said he was looking forward to being able to focus on teaching the Power's young players without the added responsibilities handled by Hinkley.
"There was 12 players [on The Recruit] and there was nothing else except coaching those 12 players … I really enjoyed that," he said.
"To be able to have a group like that, that Josh Carr and I will be working with, is really exciting because you get to spend the time with them."
Voss will travel with Hinkley and the Power to Dubai for the club's pre-season training camp on December 5.
