Join one of Australia's most respected flight training organisations
Sydney Flying Club (SFC) was born as Schofields Flying Club Ltd. more than 57 years ago and has grown to become the largest flying club in NSW.
Today, the SFC family includes Sydney Flying Club, Sydney Flight College and SFC Pilot Academy Tamworth, delivering industry-leading flight training and aviation services across multiple locations.
Our reputation has been built on operational excellence, outstanding training outcomes and an enviable safety record.
All SFC operations are supported by a CASA-approved Safety Management System and a passionate team dedicated to developing the next generation of aviation professionals.
While our organisation has grown significantly, we remain proud of our heritage.
Around the industry, we're still affectionately known as "Schoies" by many of our members, reflecting the culture, camaraderie and reputation we've built over decades.
About the Role
This is not a typical administration role.
As a Flight Operations Coordinator, you'll sit at the centre of a busy and dynamic flight training operation where no two days are the same.
You'll coordinate the moving pieces that keep our training operation running efficiently, including aircraft, instructors, students, flight examiners, maintenance activities, ground theory schedules and regulatory requirements.
If you enjoy solving complex scheduling puzzles, balancing competing priorities and finding ways to make everything come together seamlessly, this role will be incredibly rewarding.
Think of it as operational Tetris: finding the best way to align resources, people and opportunities so that students continue progressing through their training while maintaining safety, efficiency and exceptional customer service.
Why This Role is Different




Our Flight Operations team is a close-knit group of six aviation professionals comprised of Assistant Operations Managers and Flight Operations Coordinators.
Most of the team are pilots and instructors, however we're specifically seeking someone who wants to build a long-term career in aviation operations rather than pursuing a flying career.
You'll be someone who:
Loves aviation but doesn't necessarily want to be a pilot
Enjoys coordinating people, resources and schedules
Thrives in fast-paced operational environments
Takes pride in finding solutions to complex logistical challenges

We're looking for a consistent operational specialist who wants to grow with the business and become a key part of our operational success.
