This role ensures operational readiness, compliance, and safety by planning and scheduling preventive and corrective maintenance, coordinating tooling calibration, updating the asset management database, and conducting repairs and servicing as required. Additionally, this position plays a critical role in maintaining company offices and facilities, ensuring functionality, safety, and adherence to regulatory and company standards. Close collaboration with maintenance, procurement, and operational teams is essential to optimise asset utilisation and lifecycle while supporting the effective operation of company bases.

The normal working hours of this role are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, although the holder of the position is also required to be contactable to respond to operational requirements that may fall outside these hours. Whilst the vast majority of work will be undertaken at our Darwin Airport location, some off-site work will also be needed to support our outport locations.

Goals for this Officer role will cover GSE availability, calibration compliance rate targets, maintenance turnaround time, asset manager date accuracy and zero safety incidents related to improper maintenance of calibrated tools of GSE.
