The Network Aviation First Officer supports safe, efficient flight operations under the direction of the Captain. Candidates are generally expected to hold an Australian Commercial Pilot Licence, instrument and multi-engine ratings, a current Class 1 medical, and the required ATPL theory credits or equivalent qualifications. Relevant airline, charter, regional, or turboprop experience is advantageous. Strong communication, teamwork, situational awareness, professionalism, and a firm commitment to Qantas Group safety standards are essential. The role may involve regional and fly-in fly-out operations, roster flexibility, travel, and working from Network Aviation bases in Western Australia. Candidates must also meet Australian work-rights, security, training, and background-check requirements.
Network Aviation Pty Ltd is an Australian regional airline and a Qantas Group company. Based primarily in Western Australia, it operates scheduled passenger services, charter flights, and fly-in fly-out operations supporting the resources and regional sectors. The airline operates aircraft such as the Fokker 100 and Fokker 70, connecting Perth with regional communities, mining locations, and other destinations. Network Aviation forms part of QantasLink’s broader regional network and places strong emphasis on operational safety, reliability, customer service, and professional development. Its workforce includes pilots, cabin crew, engineers, airport teams, and corporate specialists. Employees typically work in a highly regulated aviation environment, with structured training, recurrent checking, and roster-based operations. The company offers opportunities for pilots seeking regional airline experience and potential progression within the wider Qantas Group.
Australia offers pilot and aviation opportunities across major cities, regional centres, and remote mining communities. Perth is especially relevant for Network Aviation roles and provides access to Western Australia’s regional network, beaches, outdoor activities, and a relaxed lifestyle. Australian workplace culture is generally professional, practical, safety-focused, and relatively informal, with strong emphasis on teamwork and punctuality. Living costs vary considerably; Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth can be expensive, while regional locations may offer lower housing costs or employer-supported accommodation. International applicants normally need an appropriate work visa, such as an employer-sponsored visa, skilled visa, or permanent residency, and must satisfy Australian aviation licensing and medical requirements. Relocation planning should include accommodation, healthcare, taxation, banking, transport, and recognition of overseas qualifications. Regional and fly-in fly-out roles may involve demanding rosters but can provide strong experience and competitive benefits.
