What you’ll contribute to:

An exciting opportunity has recently become available for a full-time Aviation Regulatory Compliance Officer (ARCO) to join our Mount Isa team.

This is an entry level aviation administration position, with full training available to the successful candidate in a supportive and positive workplace with plenty of opportunity for future progression. Administration experience is preferred, and knowledge of aviation related legislation is not required but would be a bonus.

Vidu joined Mount Isa Airport Pty Ltd (MIAPL) as an Aviation Regulatory Compliance Officer, and has since moved internally into a more senior role at Townsville Airport Pty Ltd. Vidu shares her unique experience working at MIAPL below:

“I initially joined QAL as an intern and I was impressed by the friendly and supportive work culture that was nurtured at the organisation. Shortly after my internship, I was offered the opportunity to join the team at MIAPL and needless to say I was beyond thrilled. As a fresh-out-of-university graduate, I loved how helpful and accommodating my work colleagues were - I can always rely on my leaders and team for guidance. I enjoy working with a team of seasoned aviation professionals who are passionate about what they do, and it doesn’t fail to inspire me.

In my role, not only do I overlook the administration duties at the airport, but I also get the opportunity to work on various tasks and projects that help broaden my knowledge and understanding of the operational aspects of running an aerodrome. QAL also provides various avenues to support my professional development.”
