Qantas jobs at Brisbane heavy maintenance

[Lubeit]

Hi, i saw an ad in the australian for Qantas jobs at brisbane heavy maintenance, working on their 767's. Can anyone here help with some independant information on these jobs?
What is the base pay for AME's?
What shifts do they work?
Is it a good place to work?
How often do they run type training?
Whats the career progression opportunities?
thanks for your help.

I second the above post! Mate, ask yourself... why have over 50 people resigned from the facility over the last 30 months? ..... for some reason, the "above post" was removed. Strange.

lets see they advertised a closing date of the 27 of april then less than a week later advertised it again closing on the 4 of may they dont even respond to applicants that they got your details the HR department are bloody hopeless this is just how they performed when they advertised for brisbane first up then they woke up to the fact they did not even have there hangar built and open oop,s advertised just a bit early. :ugh:

Qfcainer,
You are 100% correct,but hide the Qantas maintainance heading and it could be any work place in Aussie.
Ive seen it many a time and can pick a new worker who doesnt want to work but be a boss of some type ,and yes ,they bull**** their way and suffer a bit of hairloss from their head banging under the bosses desk.
The part that facinates me is that the exprienced management cant see through them,and give a guy who does his work etc without a word.A lot of these are happy doing just that and have never given it a thought of a higher position

Todays managers are yesterdays incompetent yes men......

B744 arrived at Bne HM yesterday for a super A check. Using available excess capacity caused by management not having the tooling in place for A330 Heavy maintenance - currently sending them to Manila. They are hoping to get a contract for A330 MRTT modifications and ongoing maintenance support starting at the end of the year. The jobs being advertised are probably for the planned A330 work. Shame about the wages and conditions.

They must have run out of places in the world to carry out the 747 services.

[QF MAINT OUTSOURCED]

i think it has more to do with the fact that they shut Sydney HM down with no real place to get the aircraft serviced.morrons

Thanks all for the responses, it has given me some food for thought. maybe GA isnt so bad after all! hey qfcainer, is that really true that they have AMEs licensed on the 767? That seems a bit odd, because the ad said they wanted mecahnical LAMEs too. why wouldnt they just make the AMEs into LAMEs?

[NAS1801]

I second the above post by QFcainer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... again, the above post by QFcainer has been removed. What's going on?

[Apophis]

I have been informed HR brisbane are watching this site maybe they should just do there job instead of pissing people around.

[Ultralights]

Starting wage for AME at BAE is $990 week! at Williamtown! and they still cant get enough staff! what hope do QF have offering $750!

[No SAR No Details]

What does HR stand for at BNE Heavy?
Is it HAMFISTED RETARDS?

[Apophis]

So you heard back from these fools anyone.

[No SAR No Details]

Qantas have just informed their staff via their eba newsletter that the "average heavy maintenance Lame earns 105k per annum.
Take into account that the lame at Brisbane H/m is on a shift allowance average of 7.5% means the base rate must be close to 100k average.
(and the average lame in acs earns 135k).
Why wouldn't you apply for a job there?
How much was on on the job advertisment?

[Apophis]

they are hardly going to advertise the $ they are to f*&^ing lazy to even respond to applicants.

[domo]

Im on $55,000 basic
$20,000 SHIFT
$20.000 overtime


maybe i will stop doing over time so they can employ $135,000 lame
last in first out sack all the cheap lames
lest get our average over 150k

[NAS1801]

they are hardly going to advertise the $ they are to f*&^ing lazy to even respond to applicants. My observation, over the years, is that they usually don't respond to those that don't cut the mustard.

[Apophis]

Really i thought they at HR were just lazy anyway we can,t all be LAMES otherwise who would do the work.

[No SAR No Details]

I hear that BNE Heavy is getting geared up to take over from AVV as the super A check facility for the 744s.
Does this mean they will be wanting 744 licenced Lames as well?

[Redstone]

That wont be a problem No SAR, they already have good -400 coverage.

[ConcernedLAME]

Plenty of 744 coverage in BNE. Probably more H/M experience on 744 than AVV. Two Super A checks completed faster ,cheaper and better than AVV as well...Rumours of more 744 in BNE HVY are floating around the network as AVV struggle to cope....

[No SAR No Details]

Sounds like a lot of the old Sydney H/M Line 1 is still evident in BMH despite the best efforts of Dr Phil and his cronies.

[ConcernedLAME]

Yes a lot of guys ex H/M Line1 are alive and kicking in BNE HVY. Most have picked up A330 as well . Awaiting A330 C check and MRTT announcement . Manager of MRTT project was on site at BNE last week, getting a briefing from some that have been involved in MRTT project already,before heading to Spain ......Looks promising at this stage ...Watch this space I guess....
