Paid Type Rating Courses provided
Cairns QLD

The Opportunity 

Are you a B2 LAME looking for a role where your expertise is truly valued?

At Talent Aligned, we are partnering with a highly respected regional aviation operator based in Cairns.

This is a smaller, close-knit organization where you are recognized as a critical part of the operation, rather than just a number on a roster.

They boast a fantastic culture, provide essential services across the region, and are currently offering a rare opportunity to upskill with a fully paid aircraft type rating.

The Role

Based in beautiful Tropical North Queensland, this permanent position focuses heavily on the maintenance and reliability of Dash Classic aircraft.

You will be working on a highly favourable roster of 4 or 5 days on, followed by 4 days off.

Our client understands the modern workforce and offers ultimate flexibility.

Whether you are seeking a standard full-time commitment, looking for supplementary hours in your spare time, or wanting the freedom to take on external work when overtime is low, they are open to structuring an arrangement that works for the right professional.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct line and base maintenance on the Dash Classic fleet.
  • Perform advanced avionics troubleshooting, defect rectification, and routine inspections.
  • Ensure all maintenance activities strictly comply with regulatory frameworks and safety standards.
  • Collaborate seamlessly within a dedicated engineering team to maintain fleet safety and reliability.

What You Bring

  • A valid CASA Part 66 B2 License.
  • A Dash Classic or Q400 type rating is highly advantageous but absolutely not essential.
  • A strong work ethic and a desire to be part of a supportive team culture.
  • International candidates requiring sponsorship will be considered, provided your current license can be readily transferred to a Part 66 qualification.

The Reward

  • Competitive Remuneration and overtime
  • Career Investment: If you do not currently hold the specific rating, the company will fully fund and facilitate your Dash Classic type rating course.
  • Lifestyle Roster: Enjoy the tropical Cairns lifestyle with a balanced 4 or 5 on, 4 off shift pattern.
  • Flexibility: A rare level of operational flexibility tailored to accommodate your lifestyle and earning goals.

Next Steps

True to our mission at Talent Aligned, we only partner with organizations that align with our standards for quality and career growth. If you are ready to advance your aviation career with an operator that truly invests in its engineering team, we want to hear from you.
