Greggsy,
Can't help you with the schools and area fronts as we're on the sunshine Coast but you should have a look at the Boeing website and on seek for Boeing positions they are based in Brisbane. Aside from that have a look on seek anyway.

My hubby is also an aircraft engineer (in the Navy) and we are looking at the Toowoomba area (about 90 minutes out of Brisbane) currently. There is an army aviation base near there at Oakey. There is also RAAF Amberley near Ipswich. Both are probably a bit far out for you though.
If you register with www.careerone.com.au, you can get emails sent to you of aircraft engineer jobs. We registered about a month ago and have seen quite a few. (Sod's law there don't seem to be any on there at the mo!) Some of the defence ones require you to be a citizen though. Also try looking at www.airmech.co.uk as they have job noticeboards for engineers all over the world.
Hope that helps.

He used to commute every day and found it fairly easy. He also had several colleagues who commuted every day.
