Regulatory Oversight: Ensure compliance with FAA regulations, airworthiness directives, and service bulletins. Assist with vendor audits and participate in Continuous Analysis and Surveillance System (CASS) meetings to assess the reliability and effectiveness of maintenance programs.
Communication & Collaboration: Serve as the primary point of contact between maintenance personnel, flight crews, and dispatch regarding aircraft maintenance status. Ensure that all relevant departments are informed of aircraft availability and maintenance progress.
Other Responsibilities: Assist in maintaining, revising, and controlling the GMM, RVSM Manual, MEL Manual, NEF Program Manual, and other maintenance documents. Perform other duties as assigned by senior management.

- Proficiency in using maintenance tracking software (e.g., CAMP, AVTRAK) and Microsoft Office products.
Education:
- Bachelor’s degree in Aviation Maintenance, Aviation Management, or related field preferred, or 3-5 years of equivalent work experience.
