Job Description

Your next shift could start here !

You’re looking for hands-on mechanical work that truly matters: safety, precision, operational pace, a strong team, and an organization that moves fast? At WAAS Aerospace Inc., we maintain aircraft that need to depart on time and we do it in an environment where your judgment and attention to detail make all the difference.

If you’re looking for a workplace where your impact is visible and where we’re looking for reliable, committed mechanics who want to make a real difference, we want to hear from you.

What we offer (for real):

• Competitive salary aligned with the market, based on your experience and licence level.
• Bonuses tied to type courses / qualifications, because we recognize the expertise that comes with certifications.

• Benefits starting on day one: several insurance options (dental, disability, life, paramedical), including an option with 100% drug coverage, with a significant employer contribution.
• Healthcare access even when things get busy: 24/7 telemedicine, wherever you are.
• Your future: retirement savings plan with company contributions.
• We invest in your growth: education reimbursement program to support ongoing training.
• We care about the people behind the employee: support programs for life events such as births, marriages, and bereavement.
• A team that also knows how to unwind: active social committee (happy hours, themed meals, social and sports activities).
• Long-term stability and mobility: job security plus advancement opportunities within the Chrono Group.
