These upgrades will be throughout the entire Qantas terminal and will have a direct impact on improving baggage handling and customer experience throughout the terminal. The upgrades will be carried out in the live environment of the Qantas terminal and as such we are looking for people that have a particular eye for planning and are very detailed focus.

The role accountabilities are to:

• Enforce and promote safety culture and requirements on site.

This role will be most appealing to a person that values very high detailed planning above all else. As this is in a live environment and there is very small windows of opportunity to carry out the works it is imperative that the planning is completed not just well but well above average.

The engineering team on this project will be quite niche and will work close together, the successful applicant will have access to senior managers on the project as well as subject matter experts where needed so will also provide a great career opportunity and advancement if performance is high.
