- Cleaning aircraft interiors to a high standard.
- Working in confined spaces on Q300 and ATR aircraft.
- Operating safely around aircraft and ground equipment.
- Contributing to safe, efficient and on-time departures.
This is a physically demanding role, so you'll need to be comfortable performing manual tasks in a variety of weather conditions.

You'll work on a rotating roster based on operational requirements and flight schedules. Our operation runs daily between 5.00am and 10.00pm, including weekends, evenings and public holidays, so flexibility to work across these shift times is essential.
