From Apprentice to Mainline Engineer
Aviation always fascinated me, but figuring out where I fit in the industry was a puzzle. That changed when I stumbled upon the Qantas Apprenticeship program. It felt right, like I had found my entry point into this vast field.
I began my apprenticeship in Structural Engineering at the Brisbane Base Maintenance in March 2020, wrapping it up early in 2023. The journey wasn’t just about learning the ropes; it was about becoming part of a team. The same people who guided me through my apprenticeship welcomed me as a Mainline Engineer upon completion.
Every day is different here, filled with challenges and opportunities to grow. Yet, it’s the people around me that make all the difference. Their willingness to support and share their knowledge makes coming to work something I look forward to. It’s more than just a job; it’s a place where I’ve grown professionally and personally, all thanks to the Qantas Apprenticeship program.
- Emily Bode, Mainline Engineer
