Our ability to stand the test of time has been no coincidence. We’ve come this far because we continue to evolve. It’s a challenge that never ends, and drives every individual in our team to make tomorrow better than today for our customers.
Our offshore ports each have a personality of their own. When you’re part of the offshore Qantas family, you might be physically apart but you’re still a close part of our team. Airports are the heart of our operation. It’s in us to be our best and we see it as our responsibility to take ownership and drive outcomes, ensuring we make a contribution to taking the organisation forward. The work you will do will require courage. Courage to challenge the norm, to voice opinions and present new ideas. We take this in our stride and see it as an opportunity to do something we’ve never done before.
As the Duty Airport Manager – PNG, you’ll take the lead in managing the day-to-day ramp operations at the airport. Your focus will be on driving safety, operational performance, on-time departures, quality assurance and continuous improvement. Reporting to the Airport Manager, you’ll collaborate closely with our Ground Service Providers to ensure full compliance with Qantas policies and procedures.
This is a shift-based role, operating on a rotational roster across seven days a week. If you're someone who enjoys providing direction, collaborating with a diverse range of stakeholders, driving process and performance improvements, and keen to develop a deeper understanding of ramp operations, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.
What you’ll bring to the role:
- Prior experience across below-wing or ramp operations is highly regarded.
- Experience leading teams or managing suppliers in a customer-facing environment.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to confidently engage, debate, and facilitate meetings.
- A flexible, can-do attitude, capable of coaching, hands-on problem-solving, and driving actions.
- Exceptional attention to detail to ensure high-quality outcomes.
Qantas is an equal opportunity employer committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity and inclusion. If you have any support or access requirements, we encourage you to advise us at time of application.
If you’re up for achieving the impossible, register your interest and we’ll be in touch.
Applications close: Monday, 25th of August 2025
