As part of our investment in our future, we launched the Melbourne Engineering Precinct, which is the main maintenance hub of our network. Our engineers are uniquely placed to enjoy a career that sees them developing skills across all functional areas of maintenance – line, intermediate and base activity. Our team also has the opportunity to work not only on Jetstar fleet, but customer aircraft – A320/21, B787 and A320 Freighter. Our Melbourne Precinct is the proud home for our Apprentice Program.

- Providing Engineering input to Jetstar Operations Control Centre (JOCC) decision making processes for disruption management
- Assisting in the control of schedules with the Aircraft Allocations Coordinator
- Investigating and reviewing serious incidents and assisting in the implementation of corrective actions
- Maintaining accurate aircraft standards to support optimised planning outcomes
- Analysing technical, costing and planning issues with responsibilities for establishing standards, direction and ensuring technical / commercial / cost effective performance.
We’re on the hunt for somebody who has:
- A detailed understanding of Aircraft Line / Base Maintenance and Operations
- Experience in Aircraft Maintenance Planning
- Ability to communicate & negotiate effectively with internal and external stakeholders
- Understanding of TRAX, Rocade and Microsoft Office applications
- Highly motivated and committed to continuous improvement
- Able to build effective working relationships and thrive in a team environment
