**Flight Dispatcher**:

- Multiple positions -Part Time & Full Time
- Lifestyle rotating roster 24/7
- Based in Southbank

Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. And we’re back (in a big way).

We’re the airline that’s always done things a little differently. Our way. The Virgin way. For us, flying is so much more than simply taking off and landing (although we understand that is quite important). It’s about going the extra mile, in the air and on the ground, to create authentic experiences that put our guests firmly at the heart of everything we do.

We pride ourselves on recruiting the right people into the right roles and we’re always looking for team members in all specialties to join our crew. Virgin Australia Group team members are pretty unique, and we all have the same DNA inside us which makes us want to go one step further for our customers and each other. When we live our shared values, we can do things that most people would think impossible, and we think that’s pretty cool.

As a result, every person we come into contact with - be it our guests, customers, colleagues or the community, will feel and experience better outcomes, based on the interactions we have with them.

**What you will be doing**

In this role, you will be part of the Flight Dispatch Team that operates on a 24/7 basis with 12 hour day and night shifts on a rotating roster. The primary focus of this role is to prepare Flight Crew briefing packages within regulatory requirements and company procedures. This process entails a detailed evaluation of the weather conditions, enroute winds and turbulence, airspace restrictions, notices to airmen, enroute fuel contingency scenarios, as well as any take-off and landing restrictions which may affect payload uplifts.

These positions are based in Brisbane Head Office and, you will work closely with the Flight Dispatch Team Lead.

As a Flight Dispatcher you will be responsible for:

- Develop and certify accurate flight plan data for safe and efficient flight operations
- Optimise take off and landing performance calculations to maximise aircraft payload uplifts
- Liaise with relevant authorities (e.g. Air services Australia) and service providers on key matters pertaining to flight dispatch
- Provide a written operational brief to each Flight Crew prior to departure, highlighting key flight planning considerations
- Assist flight crew with all flight planning and meteorological queries.

**You'll be great in this role if you**:

- An understanding of Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) regulations
- Good understanding of principles of flight planning and aircraft performance
- Tertiary qualifications in Aviation and/or a pilot's license will be highly regarded
- Demonstrated experience working in high capacity airline logistics or similar environment
- Demonstrated experience in interpreting complex technical issues and implementing safe and effective solutions.
- In depth understanding of aviation meteorology
- Ability to work a rotating day and night roster

**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)
- Heavily discounted air travel for you and your loved ones (including $1000 worth of travel credits per year)
- Discounts on travel insurance, car hire, accommodation and experiences worldwide
- Discounted Virgin Australia Lounge membership
- Hospitality, retail, technology, beauty services and wellness discounts
- Wellness support, including the better me digital wellbeing platform
- A comprehensive Employee Assistance Program, which offers confidential coaching and support from qualified professionals for all aspects of life - physical, mental, social and financial

**Equality rules**

COVID-19

The safety and security of our people, guests and operations come first. Always. That’s why we’ve put together a comprehensive ‘Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy’. In a nutshell, to work with us, you’ll need to comply with our (and the airport’s) rules and regulations. And be fully vaxxed.
