Love travel and all things Engineering? You’re in the right place. At Jetstar, you get to takeoff at work, and in life.  

As a team, we’re lucky we get to do both for a living – and we want you to be part of where we go next. Helping our teammates soar is what we’re all about. And with a new fleet of state-of-the-art aircraft, plus new routes being added, the sky’s the limit.  

About our Engineering Team

We rely on our Jetstar Engineering Team to deliver our superior safety standards, up to the second. They’re the trouble-shooters, glitch-fixers and tech-experts who make sure we take to the sky safely.  Solving problems. Trying new things. Getting hands-on.  Fixing and double checking. It’s all part of the day job as a Jetstar Engineer – whether you’re on the frontline as a Maintenance Engineer or in our Engineering Corporate & Support Team ensuring that we land deadlines, keep projects on track and work as a team to help us transform our fleet for the better.  

Your Opportunity

As part of our commitment to growing our pipeline of engineering talent – we’re excited to launch our new Summer Engineering Internship Program. This program is not just about shadowing — you’ll have the opportunity to work on a real project that has a genuine impact on our engineering operation, and in turn our customer’s experience. Over 13 intensive weeks, you’ll be embedded in a complex project of your choice.  You’ll be part of a collaborative team, solving problems, learning new skills, and gaining hands-on experience.

Key Dates 

Our Summer Internship Program takes place from 24 November 2025 to 27 February 2026, and during this period you’ll need to be available for full time employment. However, this period does include unpaid leave during our Christmas shutdown period from Wednesday 24 December 2025 and too Monday 5 January 2026.
