Hello. We're Virgin Australia, and we're excited to invite you to join our diverse and inclusive Pit Crew – a warm and welcoming team of baggage handlers who play a crucial role in ensuring our flights are on time and our passengers' belongings reach their destinations safely.

What you'll be doing

If you have a passion for aviation and aircraft, the Pit Crew is the perfect place for you. Dive into an immersive experience with our fleet, where you'll be hands-on in the bag room and cargo hold, thoughtfully loading and unloading luggage and freight.

You'll assist with aircraft door operations and boarding stairs, safely loading adorable pets, and of course operate those little baggage tugs! This role promises a dynamic outdoor environment filled with variety, teamwork, and the opportunity to forge lifelong friendships.

You’ll be great in this role if you…

• Embody strength, adaptability, and reliability
• Excel under pressure, thriving in an ever-changing environment where weather, schedules, and unexpected situations are all part of the adventure
• Possess an Australian driver's licence
• Have the right to live and work in Australia
• Embrace a flexible rotating shift roster that includes early starts, late finishes, weekends, and public holidays.

What you'll get from us

Your well-being is our priority, and we're dedicated to supporting you with industry-leading benefits and conditions, including:

• Comprehensive resources for mental, physical, social, and financial well-being, including counselling and online tools
• Minimum 54 hours per fortnight with a minimum shift time of 5 hours per shift
• Extensive training provided (No experience? No problem!)
