Engineering and Maintenance roles
Safety will always be our number one priority, and it's our Engineering and Maintenance teams that keep us at the forefront. We maintain the fleets across the Asia-Pacific, UK and US region for Qantas, QantasLink, Jetstar and Express Freighters Australia, working on Boeing 737 and 787 as well as Airbus A320/1, A330, A380 and soon to welcome the A220 and A350 aircraft into our fleet in the Qantas Group. As well our regional airlines operate B717, F100 and Dash-8 turbo prop aircraft.
Types of Engineering and Maintenance Roles
