Pit Crew
Hello. We're inviting 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
This role suits individuals who have had manual handling experience as it's a physically demanding job that requires regularly lifting and moving bags up to 32kg each. If you've worked as a warehouse worker, picker and packer, in trades or as a labourer, have a great attitude, enjoy teamwork, and like the idea of working around aircraft, then you'll love being a ramp agent with our Pit Crew.
Dive into an immersive experience working as part of an airline, 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 operating those little baggage tugs.
This role offers a dynamic outdoor environment filled with variety, teamwork, and opportunities to create lifelong friendships.
