ABOUT YOU:

If you’re an experienced aircraft maintenance professional looking for more than just another contract or hangar shift, this opportunity offers real impact, clear authorisation scope, and a role in one of Australia’s most respected aviation programs.
We are now hiring Task Sign-Off Maintainers to support the UH-60M Black Hawk fleet—a platform renowned for its capability, complexity, and operational relevance.

This is an ideal next step if you are:

• A trade-qualified professional looking for a more meaningful role
• Seeking to diversify experience on defence aviation platforms
• Eager to get back on the tools but may need support refreshing lapsed certifications.
• Interested in moving toward achieving a MAML and supervisory responsibilities.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

Applicants must be eligible to obtain and maintain an Australian Defence Security Clearance and employment may be contingent on the provision of further personal information including citizenship to ensure compliance with international export control legislation and regulations.

You’ll work alongside B1.3/B2 Military Aircraft Maintenance License (MAML) holders and be accountable for:

• Performing Task Sign-off of maintenance tasks that you have personally performed within the scope.
• Ensuring all safety-critical inspections (e.g. Error Capture) are not bypassed or compromised
• Using only authorised data, tools, and equipment to maintain airworthiness
• Monitoring for human factors that could impact task integrity – in yourself or others
• Participating in and improving maintenance cycles through PBED (Plan, Brief, Execute, Debrief)
• Verifying follow-on maintenance needs and submitting necessary documentation
• Maintaining tool control and cleanliness in line with AFCAMAN Book IV, Chapter 8

This is a role where attention to detail, accountability, and operational excellence are genuinely valued—not just buzzwords.
