Are you a young Australian looking to develop your skills and broaden your life experience? The Aeroskills Technician Assistant role offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to aviation roles and work as part of a team in the Royal Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RAEME) Corps.

This one-year commitment allows you to 'try before you buy' Army training and lifestyle, with no obligation to serve beyond that. You'll assist and provide valuable support to Aeroskills technicians servicing, repairing, and modifying Army Helicopters and equipment.

You will undertake tasks such as aircraft ground handling, operating hand tools and Aviation ground support equipment, replenishments, aircraft towing, marshalling, washing, launching aircraft and support equipment maintenance.

In this role, you'll have the chance to grow your knowledge of Aviation maintenance processes and procedures while gaining hands-on experience working on various types of Army Aviation equipment.

Becoming an Aeroskills Technician Assistant requires you to be physically fit, enthusiastic, and motivated. You'll work in an Aviation workshop at an air base and out in the field on domestic exercises, deployments, and humanitarian operations.

The estimated annual salary for this role is around $50,000-$60,000 AUD, depending on location and experience. As an Aeroskills Technician Assistant, you'll have the opportunity to transfer to other trade roles within the Army after completing your initial training and service.

This role is ideal for those who are interested in pursuing a career in aviation maintenance and want to contribute to the Australian Defence Force's mission. With a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork, you'll be part of a close-knit community that values hard work and dedication.
