Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME)

Love travel and passionate about all thing’s aviation? 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. You’ll find our Engineers located right across the Jetstar Australia and New Zealand network.

The Opportunity  

As a result of our growing fleet we’re keen to welcome more Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AME’s) to our team to support increased fleet maintenance requirements.  We have opportunities available for Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs) across multiple locations in Australia and New Zealand, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Auckland and Christchurch.  As a Jetstar AME, you’ll carry out maintenance on Jetstar aircraft in a timely and safe manner.  You’ll be logical, can see the big picture, and enjoy working in a fast-paced and, at times, unpredictable environment.

As a Jetstar AME, your focus will include:

  • Conducting rectification, servicing, maintenance and certification on Jetstar aircraft;
  • Performing aircraft maintenance and equipment rectification as per manufactures/company specification to our very high standards;
  • Working with due care and consideration to safeguard your own health and safety and the health and safety of others; and
  • Using appropriately, any safety equipment that is issued for personal protection, and to ensure that it is maintained in proper order.

Full sponsorship and generous relocation support available for international candidates interested in relocating to Australia and/or New Zealand.

  • Has completed a Certificate IV in Aeroskills or EASA Part 66 B1 or B2 license
  • AME with experience on A320/1, the 787 and 737 or A330 (NZ)
  • AME with Structures / Composite experience.
