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.

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.

**What you’ll be doing**:
The Quality Manager is responsible for maintaining an independent Quality System and improve endorsed policies to assist the AMO to achieve its quality objectives of providing goods and services that meet the company’s requirements on time and cost effectively.

- The assessment and approval of sub-contractors and suppliers and their associated performance.
- Report to the Accountable Manager on the effectiveness of the quality and safety management system & implement improvements.

- Control and issue all company authorisations to maintenance personnel.
- Monitoring and approval of the authorisation of Company personnel for inspection and certification functions and the retention of related records.
- Instigate a system of quality and safety oversight and control for the activities covered by the certificate.
- Promote the roles and responsibilities in respect of the safety policy, safety standards and safety culture of the organisation.
- Maintain an internal quality audit program covering the scope of activities for which VARA AMO and maintenance contractors are responsible. Raise audit reports and ensure timely closure of the findings.
- Carry out regular audits on suppliers including other maintenance organisations applicable to the supply of goods and services used by VARA AMO.
- Report findings on non-conforming activities, request corrective action and make observations and recommendations as appropriate.
- Maintain and update the Approved Suppliers Register.
- Investigate and raise defect / investigation reports (DIR) for relevant SDR’s made to CASA.
- Raise Quality Memos to highlight safety and quality issues in the VARA AMO, Maintenance Contractors and Suppliers
- Any other task as requested by the Accountable Manager.
