The Role

We are seeking a Director of Maintenance (DOM) to lead our maintenance organization as the Person Responsible for Maintenance (PRM). The DOM will be accountable for how maintenance is executed, documented, planned and delivered across the company and third‑party aircraft. The Director of Maintenance is expected to remain technically engaged, lead from the shop floor, participate in inspections and troubleshooting when required, and maintain credibility with AMEs through direct involvement. Candidates seeking a primarily administrative or compliance‑only position should not apply.

  • Procure aircraft parts and manage inventory
  • Issue and approve Purchase Orders (POs) to vendors and suppliers
  • Liaise with Transport Canada, OEMs, suppliers and service providers
  • Support aircraft acquisition, fleet growth and long‑term maintenance strategy
  • Project and operational management, including :

  • Weekly fleet and maintenance status reports
  • Work order review and approval
  • Timesheet approval for payroll
  • Oversee third‑party maintenance invoicing, ensuring accuracy, traceability and timely billing
  • Promote and enforce a safe, professional and positive maintenance culture
  • Maintenance Scope

  • Minimum 6 years aircraft maintenance experience (10+ years strongly preferred)
  • Previous leadership or supervisory experience (Lead AME, PRM, DOM, or equivalent)
  • Demonstrated ability to plan, coordinate and control maintenance effectively
  • Experience sourcing and procuring aircraft parts
  • Experience with maintenance tracking software (Quantum or similar)
  • Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office and / or Google Workspace
  • Strong knowledge of CARs, AMO operations, maintenance programs and technical records
  • Willingness to remain hands‑on when required
  • Demonstrated history of leading technicians through action, not authority alone
  • Professional attitude and commitment to a healthy work environment
