Pit Crew

Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. Now’s the perfect time to join our pit crew - our friendly team of baggage handlers who help get our planes turned around on time and make sure everyone’s baggage gets where it needs to be, on time (and in one piece).

**What you’ll be doing**

If you’re excited by aircraft and aviation, you’ll love being in the pit crew. You’ll get up close and personal with our fleet, carefully loading and unloading bags and freight in the bag room and cargo hold, pushing boarding stairs and helping to open aircraft doors.

Some days will be extra fun as you carefully load pets, and even get to drive those little baggage tugs You’ll be working outdoors with variety, teamwork, and the opportunity to make mates for life.

**Who we’re looking for**

For this role, you’ll need to be strong, adaptable and reliable, with the ability to work under pressure in an environment that is always changing - weather, schedules and other parts of the day don’t always go to plan.

You’ll need an Australian driver’s licence, along with living and working rights.

And because we take off and land around the clock, you’ll need to be available for a rotating shift roster (including early starts, late finishes, weekends and public holidays).

**What you’ll get from us**

We’re committed to looking after you, with some of the best benefits and conditions in the industry - including (but not limited to):

- Support for your wellbeing, with free counselling and an app for your physical, mental and social health
