About the Role

Reporting to the RTO Manager and working closely with Aviation Operations, Recruitment, and Compliance teams, the Aviation Lead – Trainer and Assessor is responsible for the end-to-end leadership, delivery, and continuous improvement of ACESGroup’s aviation security training programs.

This role holds accountability for ensuring all aviation training aligns with Aviation Transport Security regulations, ACESGroup Transport Security Plans (TSPs), and ASQA Standards for RTOs, supporting the operational readiness and compliance of Aviation Protection Officers across passenger, baggage, and cargo screening environments.

Based primarily at our Redfern Training Centre, with delivery across airport and cargo environments, including Western Sydney Airport, this role blends strategic oversight with hands‑on leadership in live aviation settings.

• Support RTO compliance, audits, documentation, and regulatory engagement.
• Deliver training onsite at airports, cargo facilities, and ACESGroup training locations.
• Act as a subject‑matter expert and professional role model, embedding aviation security standards, culture, and professionalism.
• Why This Role Stands Out
• Lead aviation security training at one of Australia’s most significant new aviation projects, Western Sydney Airport.
• Play a key role in defining and embedding aviation training standards from day one.
• Step into a genuine leadership role within a growing, innovative RTO environment.
• Influence how aviation security training is delivered across passenger and freight operations.
• Join a company where your operational experience is valued and your voice genuinely matters.
