Day shifts, Tues-Sat, airport workplace, learn high-volume production + HACCP systems.

Looking for something different to the restaurant grind? If you’ve just finished your apprenticeship (or you’re in your first couple of years as a chef) and you want to build real production speed, consistency, and food safety discipline—this is a excellent next step.

Inflight Services Australia – Sky Snacks operates out of Townsville Airport, supplying RPT services, charter flights, and other functions. We run 8 rotating menus, so you’ll get variety and strong exposure to structured, high-standard food production.

Why you’ll like it
Day shifts only: Tuesday to Saturday 6:00am–2:00pm
Stable full time hours: 38 hours/week
Aviation environment: fast-paced, high standards, tight timelines
Systems + training: learn flight catering processes and dispatch paperwork (we’ll train you)

What you’ll be doing
Preparing and assembling inflight meals across multiple menus
Following production plans, portion control, labelling, packing and dispatch standards
Working to strict HACCP and aviation compliance requirements




Supporting occasional non-aviation catering for functions/events (as required)

Food safety + tech (you don’t need to be an IT expert)

We run HACCP digitally using the Didge Food Safety platform, including automated monitoring, sensors, and digital records. If you’re comfortable with basic tech—or you learn quickly—you’ll do well.

What we’re looking for
Qualified chef (recent apprenticeship graduates strongly encouraged to apply)
Robust hygiene and food safety mindset
Reliable, organised, and able to work to timelines
Basic computer/digital confidence
