Pit Crew – Brisbane Airport Baggage Handlers

Hello. We're Virgin Australia, and we're excited to invite you to join our diverse and inclusive Pit Crew – a warm and welcoming team of baggage handlers who play a key role in helping our flights be on time and our passengers' belongings to reach their destinations safely.

This role suits people who have had manual handling experience as it’s a physical role where you’ll be regularly lifting and moving bags that are up to 32kg each. If you’ve worked as a warehouse worker, as a picker and packer, in trades or as a labourer, have a great attitude, enjoy teamwork and like the idea of working around aircraft, then you’ll love being a ramp agent with our Pit Crew.

What you'll be doing

Dive into an immersive experience working as part of an airline, where you'll be hands-on in the bag room and cargo hold, thoughtfully loading and unloading luggage and freight.

You'll help with aircraft door operations and boarding stairs, safely loading adorable pets, and of course operate those little baggage tugs! This role offers a dynamic outdoor environment filled with variety, teamwork, and the opportunity to create lifelong friendships.

You’ll be great in this role if you…

• Embody strength, adaptability, and reliability
• Excel under pressure, thriving in an ever-changing environment where weather, schedules, and unexpected situations are all part of the adventure
• Possess an Australian driver's licence
• Have the right to live and work in Australia
• Embrace a flexible rotating shift roster that includes early starts, late finishes, weekends, and public holidays.

What you'll get from us

Your well-being is our priority, and we're dedicated to supporting you with industry-leading benefits and conditions, including:

• Comprehensive resources for mental, physical, social, and financial well-being, including counselling and online tools
• Extensive training provided (No experience? No problem!)
• Exclusive discounts on flights for you and your loved ones, with an annual credit of $1000
