Technical Services Engineer

Unique opportunity to be involved with missionised aircraft delivering critical surveillance, and search and rescue functions for government contracts.

Technical Services Engineer

Airborne Solutions Australia provides aerial surveillance services under contract to the Australian Border Force as the largest civil maritime surveillance operation of its kind in the world, and a search-and rescue capability across nearly 10 percent of the earth's surface under Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

The Role

We currently have an opportunity for a Technical Services Engineer (Airframe and Mechanical Systems) to work with domain specialists and maintenance providers nationally supporting our missionised DeHavilland DHC8 Classic and Bombardier CL604 fleets.

The position is suitable for someone with either civil or military experience as our operation shares elements of both industries. This diverse role offers a unique opportunity to be involved with missionised transport category aircraft delivering critical surveillance, and search and rescue functions for government contracts.
