Qantas is seeking a Mechanical Systems Engineer to support the safety, reliability and ongoing airworthiness of its Boeing fleet. The role typically requires a degree in mechanical, aerospace or aeronautical engineering, relevant aircraft systems experience, and an understanding of aviation regulations, maintenance practices and engineering documentation. Candidates should be capable of analysing technical problems, developing practical engineering solutions, assessing aircraft modifications, and working with maintenance, operations and suppliers. Strong communication, project management, attention to detail and the ability to obtain or maintain relevant Australian aviation approvals are expected. Experience with Boeing aircraft, continuing airworthiness, reliability programs or airline engineering would be highly advantageous.
Qantas Airways Limited is Australia’s flag carrier and one of the world’s longest-established airlines. Founded in 1920, the company operates domestic and international passenger services under the Qantas brand, as well as freight and regional operations through its broader group. Its network connects Australia with major destinations across Asia, Europe, North America, New Zealand and the Pacific. Qantas employs people across flight operations, aircraft engineering, airport services, customer experience, technology, corporate functions and commercial teams. The airline places strong emphasis on safety, operational reliability, engineering standards and service quality. It operates a substantial fleet that includes Boeing and Airbus aircraft and offers career opportunities in major Australian cities and selected international locations. Employee benefits may include travel privileges, professional development and structured technical career pathways, subject to role and employment conditions.
Australia offers engineering opportunities in aviation, mining, energy, defence, manufacturing, technology and infrastructure, with major employment centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Workplace culture is generally practical, collaborative and relatively informal, while safety, inclusion and work-life balance are valued. Lifestyle varies from vibrant city living to coastal, regional and outdoor-focused communities; housing costs can be high in Sydney and Melbourne. Skilled professionals usually need an appropriate visa, such as employer-sponsored pathways, skilled migration or a temporary skills visa. Requirements depend on occupation, qualifications, English ability, age and experience. Engineers may also need recognition through Engineers Australia, and aviation roles can require Australian regulatory approvals or security clearances. Relocating involves arranging accommodation, tax and banking, healthcare access, transport and possibly school enrolment. Qantas roles may be concentrated near major airports and engineering bases.
