About the Position

If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to make a move — this is it.

Aerodrome Management Services (AMS) is inviting experienced Aerodrome Managers from across Australia to relocate to Western Australia and join our growing team overseeing safe, compliant, and efficient airfield operations across regional and remote WA.

This is an exciting opportunity for interstate Aerodrome Managers (4+ years) looking to relocate for a FIFO role based out of Perth and the next step in their aviation career with one of Australia’s leading aerodrome management companies. This could be your chance to take on a career-defining role with a respected aviation services provider while embracing the lifestyle, opportunity, and adventure that comes with living in Western Australia.

You’ll take charge of critical aviation infrastructure that keeps regional communities connected and industry moving. Drawing on your technical expertise, sound judgment, and practical leadership, you’ll ensure airfields operate safely and effectively — backed by AMS’s national network of aviation specialists.

Key Responsibilities:

• Operate and manage aerodromes in accordance with CASR 139, the Manual of Standards and AMS contractual requirements

• Foster a culture of continuous improvement in safety, compliance, and customer service

• Oversee operational functions including stakeholder engagement, grounds maintenance, and infrastructure management

• Lead people and manage assets to ensure risk mitigation, operational excellence, and strong outcomes in complex environments

About You

You understand the vital role aerodromes play in keeping Australia connected — and you’re ready to take your skills west for an exciting new challenge.

AMS will support your transition and professional development, but you’ll already bring:

• Experience in Airport or Aerodrome Management, Operations Compliance, Quality Assurance, and Emergency Planning

• Strong leadership experience in complex operational environments

• Excellent administrative, organisational, and report writing skills

• Clear communication with clients, contractors, and local communities

• A current Manual Driver’s Licence

Why Make the Move?

• A competitive salary

• Professional growth and ongoing training

• A supportive, inclusive work environment

• Uniforms and PPE provided

• The opportunity to live and work in Western Australia, managing aerodromes in some of the state’s most unique, scenic, and rewarding locations — from rugged outback strips to coastal gateways

If you’re an interstate professional ready for a change of scenery and a new challenge, AMS would love to hear from you.

Bring your experience, make the move, and help keep regional Western Australia flying.

Company Overview

Australia’s Aerodrome & Airport Management Specialists Aerodrome Management Services Pty Ltd (AMS) was established in May 1996 having operated as a registered business since 1990. The aim was to provide inspection and survey services to what was then a comparatively small client base. Since then our client base has grown substantially and we have diversified and expanded to cater for associated areas. We now provide a ‘one-stop’ service covering all aspects of aerodrome and airport management, from engineering, design, and construction services to inspections, training, and equipment supply. Our Founder, Kevin Thomas, has over 30 years of experience in airport operation and management. Before starting AMS he was the Manager – Airports for Wallace Emery and Associates (then owners of Broome Airport) and prior to that the District Airport Inspector with the Department of Aviation. In recent years Aerodrome Management Services has expanded greatly and now employs more than 160 personnel throughout Australia, including aerodrome inspectors, trainers, works managers, compliance auditors, engineers, draftsman, operational advisors, ground handlers, refuellers, security personnel and managers. We work closely with Australian companies, mining operations, local governments/shires, and a number of international airports to deliver professional and cost effective solutions to Australia’s aviation industry.
