Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. We’re on a mission to make flying better than ‘nice’. And to do that, it takes a team of talented people who are passionate about customer experience, doing the right thing always, with a focus on safety – in the air, on the ground and in our workplaces. A team who values real diversity and inclusion, in a big brand with big ambitions.

What you’ll be doing:

As a LAME you will be approved for the certification of aircraft maintenance in accordance with the approved System of Certification. You will report to the Senior Engineer and Maintenance Leader and be required to make determinations in regard to major defects and discrepancies, recognise and report unsafe conditions and conduct certification and supervision of maintenance tasks. 

You will be required to participate in the delivery of quality services whilst maintaining a safe work environment for yourself and fellow worker.
