Pit Crew

1 week ago

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Virgin Australia Airlines Full time

We're on a mission to bring new and uplifting experiences to our guests, transforming flying from simply 'nice' to something wonderful.

Like any good mission, this one starts with our people.

Which is why we encourage our team to embody the fun, laid-back, authentic spirit we've become famous for. Because when they're free to be themselves, they're better able to own their personal responsibilities and go the extra mile to help our guests.

Hello. We're Virgin Australia, and we're excited to invite you to join our diverse and inclusive Pit Crew – a warm and welcoming team of baggage handlers who play a key role in helping our flights be on time and our passengers' belongings reach their destinations safely.

This role suits people with manual handling experience as it's a physical role involving regularly lifting and moving bags up to 32kg each. If you've worked as a warehouse worker, picker and packer, in trades, or as a labourer, have a great attitude, enjoy teamwork, and like the idea of working around aircraft, then you'll love being a ramp agent with our Pit Crew.

What you'll be doing

You will be hands-on in the bag room and cargo hold, thoughtfully loading and unloading luggage and freight. You'll assist with aircraft door operations and boarding stairs, safely load pets, and operate baggage tugs. This role offers a dynamic outdoor environment filled with variety, teamwork, and the opportunity to make lifelong friendships.

You'll be great in this role if you…
  • Embody strength, adaptability, and reliability
  • Excel under pressure in an environment where weather, schedules, and the unexpected are part of the adventure
  • Possess an Australian driver's license
  • Have the right to live and work in Australia
  • Are flexible with a rotating shift roster including early starts, late finishes, weekends, and public holidays
What you'll get from us

We prioritize your well-being and support you with industry-leading benefits, including:

  • Resources for mental, physical, social, and financial well-being, including counselling and online tools
  • Extensive training (no experience necessary)
  • Flight discounts for you and loved ones, with an annual credit of $1000
  • Five weeks of annual leave
  • Additional compensation for weekend shifts, early starts, late finishes, and extra shifts
  • Savings on travel insurance, lounge memberships, car rentals, accommodations, and global experiences
  • Access to the 'Virgin Family' platform for staff-only offers worldwide
  • Opportunities for career growth and advancement
When everyone is included, everyone wins

At Virgin Australia, we celebrate individuality and welcome applications from Indigenous Australians, individuals with disabilities, those from diverse cultural backgrounds, the LGBTQI+ community, and all eager to join our family.

Your journey starts here. Submit your application today.

If you're excited by aircraft and aviation, you'll love being in the Pit Crew. Enjoy variety, teamwork, and the opportunity to make friends for life.

Join a team that looks out for one another, where no two days are the same.

Help guests at the start of their journey with outstanding customer service.
