In this role, you will lead multi-disciplinary teams across various sites, overseeing projects that tackle complex structural challenges and making critical decisions that prioritise aviation safety while balancing economic considerations.

Your responsibilities will include maintaining plans and procedures, overseeing routine and on-demand engineering tasks, and working within a Systems Engineering framework to address airworthiness concerns. You will collaborate with experts across NGAPL Sustainment and Modernisation Services (SMS) and external stakeholders to ensure the continued safe and effective operation of the C-27J fleet. Your technical expertise will also play a key role in mentoring staff and ensuring the ASIP remains robust and forward-thinking.
