What you’ll contribute to:

An exciting opportunity has recently become available for a Terminal Duty Manager to join the team at Townsville Airport. This part time role will see you working a minimum of 40 hours per fortnight on a rotating roster with hours ranging from 4:30am to 11:00pm (or later, as operationally required) 365 days a year.

Adrian joined Townsville Airport and worked within the operations team as a Terminal Duty Manager. Adrian has recently been successful in moving into the Airside team and shares his unique experience with the company:

“I joined QAL because it presented me with an opportunity to grow within the Aviation scene and work towards a long-term growth goal (Aviation Management). I like that the team is really grounded and takes pride within their work. Everyone’s voice is heard, and the companies culture makes me feel welcomed and embraced. For my role I am required to be at the terminal, however, QAL has still shone through in its flexibility allowing me to organise consistent days off, shift work preference, and a healthy lifestyle outside of work. I contribute to the team an out of the box kind of thinking based around systems and optimisation where I am trying to find new and better ways to do things to better streamline our role. QAL gives me the chance to excel in my job every day and get recognition for good work done. It offers me the opportunity to have a healthy work life balanced and I feel as if I haven’t had to sacrifice or miss out on things despite working shift worker hours.”
