CAREER SPOTLIGHT
Jodi Bruce (She/Her) , Duty Technical Manager – Maintenance Operations Centre Qantas.
What is your favourite part of the job?
My favourite part of the job is that no two days are ever the same. Each day brings new challenges, different problems to solve, and opportunities to think critically, which keeps the work engaging and motivating. I enjoy working on new ways to predict failures before they happen through data analysis. Equally important are the people I work with. Being part of a team that is knowledgeable, collaborative, and passionate about what they do makes a huge difference and easy to come to work each day. Ultimately, working on aircraft of this complexity is both humbling and motivating. It reminds me daily of how fortunate I am to have this opportunity, especially knowing that the aircraft I work on safely transport my friends and family around the world.
If you had one piece of advice for young ladies going into aviation what would it be?
If it’s something you love and are passionate about you must do it. Going to a job you love each day is a blessing because it transforms work from an obligation into an opportunity. Instead of counting down the hours or dreading Mondays, you find fulfilment and drive in being there and contributing. Aviation has so many avenues that can be taken, it is definitely not a one way road. Get in and find what you like doing!
