We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. For us, flying is so much more than simply taking off and landing (although we understand that is quite important). It’s about going the extra mile, in the air and on the ground, to create authentic experiences that put our guests firmly at the heart of everything we do

With the airline will and truly ramped up again, and a growing fleet of Boeing 737-8 and 737-10 aircraft (our fleet has already grown by more than 50% in the past two years, and we expect more to come) a rare opportunity has opened for a Fleet Engineer - Avionics to join our team of Aircraft Engineers at our hangar in Brisbane.

The Fleet Engineer - Avionics maintains continuing airworthiness through effective configuration control of aircraft avionics and electrical systems for the operated fleet types, and initiates preventive or predictive maintenance strategies to improve aircraft technical dispatch reliability. This is a varied role where no two days will be the same, but your focus will always be safety.

The position is based in Brisbane at our airport hangar located in Pinkenba but our team do allow flexible working arrangements to allow you to also work from home a few days per week.

You’ll be great in this role if you: 

• have significant experience in an airline Technical Services Department or Maintenance Repair Organisation
• have experience in the assessment of service documents (e.g. AD, SB)
• for the Boeing 737, have comprehensive knowledge of:
  • the regulations and standards applicable to aircraft maintenance programs and reliability programs
