Description
You will be working on the KC-30A and the C-27J aircraft that directly support the Australian Defence Force. These platforms are critical to keeping operations moving, delivering heavy airlift into complex environments and enabling aircraft to stay airborne longer without needing to land.
Responsibilities
You'll be hands on across either avionics, structural or mechanical systems, executing scheduled, unscheduled and defect maintenance as part of a high performing team. You won't be boxed into one narrow task. You'll be trusted to diagnose, fix, and deliver aircraft back to service, safely and on schedule. You will apply and deepen your expertise on advanced aircraft every day.
