Are you an experienced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) looking for a new challenge; one that keeps you connected to the work you love, while offering more balance, stability, and long-term security?

At Nova Scotia Community College, you can take the knowledge and experience you've built in industry and use it to mentor the next generation of AMEs, all while enjoying predictable hours, excellent benefits, and a career that's easier on the body.

As a Faculty member with NSCC, you'll enjoy:

• The opportunity to share your industry expertise and help shape the next generation of AMEs
• Meaningful work that makes a lasting impact on students, industry, and communities
• A supportive team environment focused on collaboration, mentorship, and continuous learning
• The ability to stay connected to your trade while transitioning into teaching
• Predictable work hours that support work-life balance
• A stable and rewarding career in education with opportunities for professional growth
• Support and training to help transition successfully into teaching

Whether you're looking to slow down physically, spend more time with family, take your work experience in a new direction, or transition into a rewarding second phase of your career, this role offers the chance to do all of that while remaining deeply connected to the AME community.
