- Ability to demonstrate composure and clear decision making in high pressure situations.
- Strong knowledge and understanding of operational training schedules.
- A forward-thinking mindset with a keen eye for identifying efficiency opportunities and a strong drive for continuous improvement.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills; ability to work well in cross functional teams.
- A willingness to learn, adapt, and contribute in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
- Experience with SAP would be advantageous.
In return:
This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on how we plan and deliver operational rosters and training across our Maintenance teams. You'll join a passionate, collaborative team where your ideas and expertise will help drive efficiency, innovation, and continuous improvement. As part of Air New Zealand’s dynamic operational environment, you'll contribute to the success of our frontline teams and help ensure we continue to deliver safe, world-class service every day.
