This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a diverse aviation organisation where safety is at the center of everything we do.

Why Microflite Group?

Microflite Group brings together three distinct aviation businesses – Microflite Aviation, Airlines of Tasmania, and Cambridge Airport, under a single group model united by shared purpose, strong capability, and clear alignment. Together, these businesses form a connected aviation group with a strong commitment to safety, excellence, and working better together.

Professionalism, safety, and people sit at the core of everything we do, and we are proud of the diversity of our operations, believing we are stronger because of our differences, not despite them. Working at Microflite Group means being part of an organisation that values expertise, encourages accountability, and recognises the importance of every role in delivering safe, reliable outcomes.

• Prepare reports, meeting documentation and governance records.
• Support compliance with CASA regulations, ISO 9001 requirements and company procedures.
• Work collaboratively with operational, engineering and executive teams to promote a positive safety culture.
• Assist with continuous improvement initiatives across the organisation.

What You’ll Bring:

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a structured, compliance focused environment and has a genuine passion for aviation safety. You’ll be highly organised, analytical, and capable of building strong working relationships across all levels of the organisation. You’ll also bring:

• Experience in aviation safety, quality, compliance or a similar regulated environment.
