SAAT invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Logistics Support Assistant Vacancies (Multiple Posts) within the Line Stations business unit. The closing date for applications is 21 January 2026. This permanent job is a great opportunity for people who want to work in aviation support, help technicians on the ground, and be part of a team that keeps aircraft safe and ready to fly.
If you enjoy being organized, working with tools and equipment, and supporting others so they can do their jobs better, then this role could be a good fit for you. SAAT plays an important part in airline operations, and this job puts you right where action happens, on the airside and ramp areas.
The main goal of this job is to make sure that equipment, tools, and spare parts are always available on time for maintenance staff. When technicians need something to fix or service an aircraft, you help make sure they get it without delays.
This role supports both technical teams and logistics staff, making sure that everything needed for aircraft maintenance is ready, safe to use, and easy to find.
You will give out serviceable tools and ground support equipment like chocks, stands, service carts, and other items needed on the ramp and in maintenance areas. When equipment is returned, you must check it carefully for any damage.
If something looks broken or missing, you must report it to the Line Station SMM so the problem can be fixed quickly.
You will assist both technical staff and logistics personnel at different line stations. This means helping with moving equipment, finding parts, and making sure supplies are in the right place at the right time.
Your support helps technicians focus on aircraft maintenance instead of searching for tools or waiting for supplies.
You will keep track of tools, equipment, spare parts, and consumables. This includes checking what is available, what is running low, and what needs to be replaced.
Some items have expiry dates, and you must make sure expired consumables are removed and disposed of following company rules.
You will also help with monitoring and tracking shipments going to and from line stations. This helps make sure that parts and tools arrive where they are needed and do not get lost along the way.
Good tracking helps prevent delays in aircraft maintenance, which is very important in aviation.
Working in aviation means safety always comes first. You must follow all regulatory authority requirements and company policies and procedures at all times.
This includes how tools are stored, how equipment is handled, and how records are kept. Even small mistakes can cause big problems, so attention to safety is very important.
To apply, you must have Grade 12 or an equivalent qualification. This shows that you can understand written instructions, safety rules, and basic reporting tasks.
You must have a valid driver’s license code EB. This is needed because you may be required to move equipment or assist with transport tasks between different areas of the airport or line stations.
You must be PC literate, especially with the Microsoft Office package. You may need to update records, track equipment, and help with basic reporting tasks using a computer.
Even simple computer skills can make your work easier and help the team stay organized.
You will be handling many tools and equipment items, so being organized is very important. You must know where things are stored and make sure items are returned on time.
Good time management helps you support technicians quickly and avoid delays.
You will work with different people every day, including technicians, supervisors, and logistics staff. Being able to communicate clearly and politely helps everyone work better together.
If there is a problem with equipment, you must explain it clearly so it can be fixed fast.
You must carefully check tools and equipment when they are returned. Spotting damage early can prevent accidents and stop equipment from being used when it is not safe.
This job needs someone who notices small details and does not rush important checks.
Sometimes equipment may be missing, delayed, or damaged. You must be able to think quickly and find simple solutions, such as reporting problems and helping arrange replacements.
You must be someone others can depend on. If tools are not ready, maintenance can be delayed, and flights can be affected. Being reliable is very important in this role.
You will work in areas where aircraft and heavy equipment are present. Being careful and alert helps protect you and everyone around you.
While you will be part of a team, there will be times when you must work independently and manage your tasks without being reminded.
You will handle valuable tools and equipment. SAAT needs people who are honest and who respect company property.
Airports can be busy, and sometimes things move fast. You must stay calm and focused even when there is pressure to get things done quickly.
Working as a Logistics Support Assistant gives you real experience in the aviation industry. You will learn how aircraft maintenance is supported and how important logistics is in keeping planes flying safely.
This role can also help you build skills that are useful for future jobs in aviation, logistics, or technical support. Being in a permanent position also gives you job stability and steady work.
Make sure your application includes all the correct information and that you apply before the closing date. Late applications are usually not accepted.
If you are looking for a stable job where you can grow, learn new skills, and be part of the aviation world, this SAAT Logistics Support Assistant opportunity could be the start of something big for you.
