Licensed Aircraft Engineer B1/B2 – VVIP Operations

Licensed Aircraft Engineer B1 And B2 – VVIP Operations

Role Purpose

Maintenance & Certification

• Perform and certify scheduled/unscheduled maintenance, inspections, troubleshooting, and component changes in line with AMM, CMM, IPC, and other approved data.
• Conduct accurate defect diagnosis and effective rectification for airframe, engine, avionics, and electrical systems.
• Carry out pre-/post-flight, daily checks to ensure aircraft availability.
• Issue Certificates of Release to Service (CRS) within the scope of B1 or B2 licenses, type ratings, and company authorization.
• Operate independently during remote VVIP detachments, making all engineering and airworthiness decisions for the aircraft on-site in the absence of direct supervisory or on-site engineering support.
• Work on other fleet types as required, performing technician-level tasks outside own type rating(s), and assist other trades during maintenance tasks as needed.

Compliance, Safety & Quality

• Ensure strict compliance with QCAA Part‑145, Part CAMO, ICAO, and company MOE requirements.
• Maintain rigorous FOD prevention, tool control, calibration integrity, and human‑factors best practices.
• Complete accurate technical records: TLB entries, job cards, defect logs, and work sheets.
• Support audits, inspections, and implement corrective and preventive actions.

Coordination & Planning

• Liaise remotely with the Production Planning Department for spares, rotables, GSE, calibrated test equipment, and AOG support during remote deployments.
• Provide supervisory oversight on-site, ensuring all maintenance activity is carried out safely, to the required quality standard, and in compliance with company procedures.

Continuous Improvement

• Participate in the Safety Management System (SMS): hazard identification, reporting, investigations, and risk mitigation.
• Support Management of Change (MOC) processes and recommend technical improvements to enhance reliability and safety.

Performance Indicators

• Improved dispatch reliability and reduced maintenance‑related delays.
• Minimized AOG occurrences and improved turnaround time (TAT).
• High “right‑first‑time” maintenance performance.
• Accurate, timely technical documentation aligned with quality and safety KPIs.

Minimum Qualifications

• Valid EASA Part‑66 B1.3 and/or B2 license OR ICAO‑equivalent unrestricted AME license.
• Eligible for or holding valid CRS authorization.
• Must successfully pass advanced security vetting/checks as required for VVIP operations.
• Must successfully pass the company’s required medical examinations.

Type Ratings (Required)

• Valid type rating on at least one of the following: AW189, AW139, or S92.

Experience

• Minimum 10 years’ helicopter maintenance experience within a Part‑145 maintenance organization, including a minimum of 5 years certifying on type (AW189, AW139, or S92).
• Proven supervisory experience, with demonstrated ability to lead, direct, and support technicians and junior engineers.
• Demonstrated ability to work alone without on-site support, making all engineering decisions for the aircraft on-site, including during prolonged remote detachments.
• Strong troubleshooting background on mechanical/engine systems (B1) or avionics/electrical systems (B2).
• Proven flexibility for prolonged travel and extended remote deployments, and experience in multi‑national, multi‑cultural environments, ideally within VVIP or Head‑of‑State helicopter operations.

Technical & Behavioral Skills

• Strong understanding of QCAA, EASA, ICAO safety and airworthiness regulations.
• Proficiency with AMOS or similar maintenance IT systems and digital technical manuals.
• Safety‑focused mindset, attention to detail, and ability to work in shifts, on-call, and remote field environments.
• High degree of flexibility and willingness to undertake prolonged travel and extended remote detachments at short notice.
• Confident, self-directed decision-maker, comfortable holding full engineering authority on-site without access to local supervisory or technical support.
• High standard of professionalism, discretion, and presentation, consistent with VVIP/Head-of-State operating environments.
• Strong leadership, teamwork, and communication skills.

It’s an Advantage If You Have

• Additional type ratings across the GHC fleet.
• SMS practitioner experience (audit participation, investigations, safety reporting).
• Prior experience supporting VVIP, Head-of-State, or other high-profile passenger operations.
