An adventure in Engineering

Mark - Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME)

When did you commence the Jetstar Apprenticeship Program?

I joined the program in 2020 in the Newcastle Heavy Maintenance Facility. When the program was relocated to the new Melbourne Engineering Precinct, I relocated to Melbourne with majority of the 2020 Apprentice intake. I’m pleased to share that I have now graduated as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer and am permanent member of the Melbourne Engineering Team.

What is your specific trade stream?

I’m a B1 Mechanical Trade Stream.

What was the highlight of Jetstar Apprentice Program?

The exposure I had throughout my apprenticeship was exciting and forever evolving. I have developed a whole other skill set through my mechanical stream, with opportunities to work as a part of recovery teams for AOG aircraft in not only Melbourne but other ports in Australia. During an out of port AOG, you get to work alongside people from all over Australia whom are coming together a team to complete a common goal.

What support did you receive on the Apprentice Program?

Throughout the program we have an Apprentice Facilitator who is always there should we need help or guidance on any questions we may have. Also working alongside a wealth of knowledge in the current AME’s and LAME’s is fantastic – the skills passed on are invaluable.

What advice would you given anyone considering applying for the Jetstar Apprenticeship Program or joining the aviation industry?

Do it! It has been my second apprenticeship that I’ve completed in my life and I haven’t looked back. Aviation is such an exciting industry full of so many different opportunities and being a mature aged Apprentice, I wish I had done it sooner.

Applications to the 2025 Jetstar Apprentice Program open on 1 May 2024.
