Jetstar Engineering: A team that takes off together
We rely on our Engineers to deliver our superior safety standards, up to the second. They’re the trouble-shooters, glitch-fixers and tech-experts who make sure we take to the sky safely.
This year we will also continue to welcome more state-of-the-art aircraft, launch new international routes and continue our mission to help more people takeoff through low fares.
Your next opportunity to takeoff
The primary purpose of our Production Planner is to plan all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance requests from the Part 42 organizations. This involves ensuring that the Engineering line maintenance team has adequate facilities, resources, parts and tooling to carry out all maintenance safely, compliantly, efficiently as possible and on schedule, in line with contractual agreements.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Managing the Production Planning process to ensure seamless maintenance event execution – identify turn times, resource requirements (Manpower, Materials, Facility, GSE & Tooling), identify stakeholder requirements and restraints
- Through successful Production Planning initiatives, drive continual excellence in safety, compliance, on time performance and AMO brand values
- Liaise and build relationships with key stakeholders from both the Part 145 and various Part 42 organisations
- Relentlessly seeking ‘new ways’ to meet customer needs and support the business to achieve critical business goals
- Implement new processes and procedures within the AMO Production Planning business, using identified critical business tools to drive, significant and sustainable long-term change, both in the Pre-Planning & Execution phases of maintenance
- Review of the Customer Maintenance Plans to ensure all Production Planning requirements have been covered
- Represent Melbourne Engineering at CAMO/AMO daily planning and OTP meetings
- Provide detailed AMO performance reports to the AMO Production Planning Manager and Melbourne Precinct Managers
We would like to hear from you if you are a hardworking, motivated and pro-active person who enjoys working in a fast paced and sometimes unpredictable environment. You should be organised and logical with meticulous attention to detail and have the ability to work within a team environment and autonomously where required.
We are on the hunt for someone who has experience, qualifications and attributes including:
- Detailed understanding of Aircraft Line and Light Maintenance Operations
- Aircraft trade certificate or tertiary qualification in an aviation stream
- Experience in an aircraft maintenance environment in a maintenance planning capacity, and as an AME (or equivalent)
- Have excellent troubleshooting, problem solving abilities and be capable to assess and interpret options and develop solutions
- Have excellent communication skills with ability to effectively communicate across all levels within a team
- Have proven people management skills
- Experience with TRAX and Microsoft Office
- The ability to work rotating shift patterns (day shifts only at this time)
- Be able to hold a valid AUS ASIC.
