About the Opportunity
If you’re a hands-on aviation leader who thrives in a fast-paced MRO environment, this is your chance to step into a high-impact role where your leadership truly matters.
We’re looking for a Maintenance Manager to lead a skilled team of technicians and avionics specialists supporting turboprop aircraft operations. You’ll take ownership of daily maintenance execution, drive operational excellence, and build a high-performing team that delivers top-tier results.
This is more than a management role—you’ll be at the center of operations, influencing safety, efficiency, team development, and customer satisfaction every single day.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead the Operation
- Own all maintenance and avionics activities—inspections, repairs, troubleshooting, and return-to-service
- Drive daily workflow, labor planning, and scheduling to hit delivery targets
- Partner cross-functionally with quality, parts, and operations teams to keep everything moving
Ensure Compliance & Quality
- Maintain strict adherence to FAA regulations (Parts 43, 91, 145)
- Ensure accurate documentation and audit-ready operations at all times
- Oversee tooling, calibration, and overall shop readiness
Build & Develop a Strong Team
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of approximately 15 technicians and leads
- Create a culture of accountability, safety, and continuous improvement
- Support skill development and career progression across the team
Drive Continuous Improvement
- Identify and implement process improvements that boost efficiency and reduce turnaround time
- Use data and root-cause analysis to solve problems and improve performance
- Recommend upgrades in tooling, equipment, and workflow
What Success Looks Like
- On-time aircraft delivery with exceptional quality
- A highly engaged, skilled, and accountable maintenance team
- Consistent FAA compliance and audit readiness
- Improved shop efficiency and reduced rework
- Strong collaboration across departments
- High customer satisfaction and trust
Requirements:
What You Bring
Experience & Certifications
- FAA A&P License (IA a plus)
- 7–10+ years of aircraft maintenance experience (Part 145 or turboprop environment preferred)
- 3+ years in a leadership or supervisory role
- Strong understanding of turboprop systems (TBM experience is a plus)
Leadership & Skillset
- Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop technical teams
- Strong operational planning and workflow management skills
- Advanced troubleshooting and decision-making ability
- Deep understanding of FAA compliance and maintenance documentation
- Excellent communication and customer-facing skills
Why This Role Stands Out
- Opportunity to lead from the front while staying close to the work
- Direct impact on operations, team performance, and customer outcomes
- Ability to shape and develop a high-performing maintenance team
- Fast-paced, dynamic MRO environment
- Strong compensation with bonus potential
