About The Team

You’ll join a team where people work with integrity, inclusion, innovation, agility, collaboration and commitment. In practice, that means sharing ownership, solving complex problems together and staying connected to the customer context, the purpose behind the work and how each role contributes to meaningful outcomes.

We conduct airborne missions for the Australian Government across maritime surveillance and search and rescue operations. With bases strategically positioned across Australia, we operate a fully integrated in-house aviation capability which includes flight operations, maintenance organisation, training organisation and operations centre.

You will work closely with Flight Crew, Aircrew, Training Managers, Operations teams, and key stakeholders to coordinate rostering, training, travel, leave,



and compliance activities that support the safe and efficient delivery of airborne services.

In This Role, You Will

- Develop and maintain compliant crew rosters for Flight Crew and Aircrew, balancing operational requirements, training commitments, leave, and maintenance schedules.
- Coordinate initial and recurrent training schedules to ensure personnel maintain required qualifications and operational readiness.
- Manage travel, accommodation, and logistics arrangements for crew and support personnel to support training and operational activities.
- Monitor crew currency, licensing, medicals, and regulatory compliance requirements, proactively addressing any upcoming expiries or gaps.
- Collaborate with operational stakeholders to optimise workforce utilisation, minimise disruptions, and continuously improve scheduling efficiency and service delivery.

About You

Essential For This Role

- Demonstrated experience in workforce scheduling, rostering, aviation operations, or a similar complex operational environment.
- Strong organisational and planning skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and changing operational requirements.
- Sound understanding of regulatory compliance requirements and the ability to maintain accurate records and documentation.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across multiple teams and functions.
- High attention to detail,



strong problem-solving capability, and proficiency using rostering, scheduling, and workforce management systems.

Advantageous, But Not Essential

- Experience scheduling or rostering within an aviation, emergency services, defence, or other 24/7 operational workplace.
