into the workforce as purpose-built engineers and
technicians and too much reliance on ready-made
employees has caused this skills shortage.
In addition, she said many experienced employees
took an early retirement due to COVID and some
of them will be leaving the industry in a couple of
years' time.
How to recruit younger workers and bridge the
experience gap is a very important topic, which
already has been presented to the local governments
and unions, she said.
Despite the strain on the labor market for Heston
MRO, Zirlyte sees the MRO strengthening their
footprint in the Australasian region, and globally,
through the following ways:
* The growth of their technical training school
capability for internal and external students
and organizations.
* Expansion of engine on wing services and BSI
capability, adding engine off wing capability in
a very near future.
* Active growth in components business through
their daughter company Heston MRO Europe.
The company's presence in Europe provides
Heston MRO geographical coverage and brings
us closer to the main global markets for components
and aviation assets. Through European
presence, they are positioned well to capture
post-COVID industry recovery and fulfill customer
needs for spare parts support, AOG coverage,
asset part-outs and trading, warehouse
and logistics solutions.
* An efficient and modern heavy maintenance
facility to secure the heavier tasks to be performed
within Australia.
Ultimately, Zirlyte said what helps separates them
from the competition is: " Agile, customer-focused,
quality- and safety-driven, creative with out-of-thebox
thinking and solutions, challenging the common
historical practices and finding our own views and
style within compliance framework. "
