The role

About this role

Aircraft Maintenance Apprentice Mentor (Part‐Time / Flexible)
Location: Richmond (Sydney), NSW
Schedule: 2 to 4 Days per week (No Fridays, No Weekends)

At Airbus Richmond, we perform heavy maintenance and modifications on the RAAF's vital C‐130J Hercules fleet. We are looking for experienced Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (Mechanical, Structures, or Avionics) to step into a mentorship role and support our up‐and‐coming apprentices.

Why This Role is Different

True Flexibility: This role is tailor‐made for semi‐retired professionals, those transitioning out of the military, or anyone seeking meaningful part‐time work. You can work anywhere from 2 to 4 days a week (our site operates Monday to Thursday—enjoy a permanent 3‐day weekend).

Impact Over Hard Labour: Your primary tool will be your wisdom. You will guide, supervise, and mentor RAAF Fitters and Airbus apprentices as they progress toward their AME qualifications.

A Proud Mission: Directly support the Royal Australian Air Force and keep our defence capabilities flying.

What You Bring to the Hangar

Qualifications

  • Trade Certificate in Aircraft Maintenance, a CertIV in Aeroskills, or a DASR66 / CASA Part66 Licence.

Expertise

  • Solid understanding of aircraft maintenance documentation and safety practices.

The Right Attitude

  • Patience
  • Strong communication skills
  • Attention to detail

Note: Prior military experience, heavy maintenance experience, or specific C‐130J knowledge is highly regarded, but absolutely not mandatory.

The Perks of Flying with Airbus

  • Competitive pro‐rata salary
  • Free onsite physiotherapist and confidential counsellor
  • Novated leasing options, corporate health plans (Bupa & Defence Health access), and extensive shopping discounts
  • Discounted flights, rental cars, and accommodation for your days off
  • Free onsite parking

Applicants must be eligible for an Australian Government Security Clearance and satisfy standard pre‐employment screening, including police check, medical, and drug/alcohol testing.
