Full Job Description

MHI RJ Aviation Group (MHIRJ) brings together two globally respected legacies: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the CRJ Series aircraft program. We provide comprehensive aircraft maintenance, engineering, technical publications, and customer support solutions to operators across the global regional aviation market.

At MHIRJ, operational excellence, safety, collaboration, and regulatory compliance guide everything we do. We are committed to building a team with a deep understanding of the demands and responsibilities of certified aircraft maintenance operations—and who bring experience, accountability, curiosity, and the ability to lead effectively through change.

Why This Role Matters:

The Operations Manager – Aircraft Maintenance plays a critical role in ensuring aircraft maintenance programs are delivered safely, in compliance with regulatory and quality standards, on schedule, and within financial commitments. They are both a people leader and a business partner, connecting frontline execution with customer expectations and financial performance.

As the primary customer interface during the maintenance event, the Operations Manager balances technical scope, workforce execution, schedule control, and cost management while leading cross-functional maintenance teams through complex, deadline-driven work.

What You’ll Do:

Partner with technicians, planners, engineers, and support teams to deliver safe, compliant, and efficient aircraft maintenance work packages
Balance safety, quality, labor utilization, schedule, and cost across multiple concurrent projects
Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement
Serve as the primary customer point of contact throughout the maintenance lifecycle
Communicate clearly and confidently on scope, timelines, labor/material estimates, progress updates, approvals, and post-delivery follow-up
Address issues proactively, resolve squawks and warranty concerns, and identify opportunities to add value or expand services
Manage multiple aircraft maintenance projects simultaneously, identifying risks, constraints, and mitigation strategies
Build, review, and manage work orders, labor charges, pricing codes, and Pro Forma invoices
Monitor profitability, margin performance, and cost controls; ensure projects meet or exceed financial objectives
Review and approve final invoices, including warranty negotiations and service order revisions
Lead daily and recurring status meetings with operations, planning, materials, quality, and engineering teams
Maintain accurate reporting on aircraft status, workflow, and shop floor efficiency
Support special programs and OEM initiatives (e.g., ESP, MSP, SmartParts, warranties) in partnership with internal stakeholders
Adapt to shifting priorities, regulatory updates, customer requirements, and operational changes
Bring a problem-solving mindset to process improvements, productivity initiatives, and cross-functional alignment
Coach and develop team members, building bench strength and engagement across experience levels

What You Bring:

5+ years of experience in an aircraft maintenance environment or substantial similar experience
2+ years of experience in customer-facing project management, operations leadership, supervision, or lead roles
Working knowledge of aviation regulatory governance (FAA, EASA, or Transport Canada), including Part 91/121/135/145 environments
Understanding of jet aircraft maintenance inspection programs
Knowledge of Environmental, Health & Safety standards as they apply to workplace safety and environmental aspects of aircraft maintenance operations
Demonstrated strong leadership and coaching skills with the ability to develop people and build an enabled team
Strong communication skills with the ability to adjust style and messaging for different audiences and situations
Proven organizational skills to prioritize work across multiple projects and timelines
Comfort using enterprise systems and tools (ERP, maintenance, project tracking, reporting, and Microsoft Office applications)
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience
FAA A&P License or certification under FAR Part 65
Experience with SAP, Empower MX, or similar maintenance/ERP systems
Familiarity with ISO/OHSAS management systems
Working knowledge of budgeting, cost controls, and financial reporting (P&L awareness, margin analysis, cost drivers)

Work Environment:

Safety-first culture with a strong emphasis on quality and compliance
Modern, climate-controlled hangars and well-equipped service centers
Highly collaborative, in-person environment at our Tucson, AZ facility
