Joby seeks an experienced aircraft maintenance professional as UAE Maintenance Manager and nominated post holder for its UAE Approved Maintenance Organization under GCAA CAR 145.

The role is accountable to the Accountable Manager and ensures UAE eVTOL aircraft maintenance meets CAR 145 and the approved MOE, including authority to certify release to service.

The role represents Joby with the GCAA and supports initial approval, audits, surveillance, and scope extensions.

  • Direct maintenance planning, work packages, task allocation, defect rectification, shift handovers, and technical records for base and line maintenance.
  • Lead UAE team recruitment, development, rostering, and manpower and licence-coverage forecasting.
  • Administer certifying and support staff authorizations under CAR 66 and CAR 145, training programmes, and competence records.
  • Ensure facilities, tooling, calibrated equipment, ground support equipment, stores, and aircraft-part traceability meet CAR 145 requirements; lead UAE facility build-out and spares provisioning.
  • Keep approved maintenance data current, controlled, and accessible; plan and record its embodiment.
  • Coordinate with CAMO on maintenance programmes, airworthiness reviews, deferred defects, MEL rectification intervals, reliability data, and continuing-airworthiness records.
  • Align UAE processes with Joby OEM and FAA Part 145 repair-station practices, and feed UAE service findings back to the OEM.
  • Support compliance audits, findings, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and GCAA inspections and approval-scope applications.
  • Uphold occurrence reporting and safety risk management, promote a strong safety culture, and report maintenance performance, airworthiness status, and resource risks to the Accountable Manager.

Role qualifications

  • The description seeks an experienced aircraft maintenance professional able to act as the UAE CAR 145 nominated post holder.
  • The role requires regulatory accountability for maintenance standards and release-to-service certification, with leadership of an aircraft maintenance organization.
