**Pit Crew - Melbourne**:
Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. And we’re back (in a big way).

We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. 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 guests firmly at the heart of everything we do.

And with flights beginning to ramp up again, now’s the perfect time to join a great team in a role that’ll literally help your career take off.

**Who we’re looking for**:
Don’t mind a bit of hard work and manual labour? Happy to be outside in rain, hail, or shine? We need strong, driven, adaptable and reliable people to join the Virgin Australia Pit Crew team. It’s a challenging role, with a lot of responsibilities - from helping ensure our planes are turned around on time, to making sure everyone’s baggage gets where it needs to be, on time (and in one piece).

**What you’ll be doing**:

- Moving and loading freight
- Pushing stairs and helping to open aircraft doors
- Driving those little baggage tugs
- Carefully loading bags (sometimes up to 1000 a day)
- Correctly handling cargo, oversized items and pets
- Recognising and handling dangerous goods
- Safely operating and maintaining our Ground Services Equipment
- Work in different teams, make new mates, and have a great time doing it
- Loads more

**We’re looking for someone who**
- Has brains AND brawn
- Is legally able to live and work in Australia
- Holds an unrestricted Australian Drivers Licence
- Can work under pressure in an ever changing environment
- Is competent in both written and spoken English
- Has basic computer skills
- Can work a 24/7 rotating shift roster (including early starts, late finishes, weekends and public holidays)
- Can successfully obtain an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC).

**What you’ll get from us**:
Our people make Virgin Australia what it is. They’re the warm welcome at check in, the bright sparks who light up our aircraft cabins, the legends at Virgin HQ, and the cheeky grinning faces having a ball on the tarmac. In other words, the living embodiment of Virgin’s fun laid back, authentic spirit.

That’s why 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)
- Generous annual leave allowance
- Plenty of opportunities for career progression
- Extensive training (No experience? No dramas)
- Recognition program Virgin Flair program with ability to earn velocity points
- Family friendly policies
- Competitive hourly salary, shift allowances and overtime (if available).

**Equality rules**:
**Covid-19**:
It’s kept us grounded for far too long. But we can’t ignore the impact it’s having, and will continue to have, in our industry.

At Virgin Australia, the safety and security of our people, guests and operations comes 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.

**Important info**:
Our Pit Crew positions are part time with a minimum of 20 hours guaranteed per week. In saying that, you’ll get the opportunity to do extra hours and overtime.
