Job description

AME (aircraft maintenance engineer) (except avionics)

Posted on August 09, 2026 by Employer details SkyCare Air Ambulance

Join SkyCare's Maintenance team and play an important role in supporting aircraft that deliver life-saving medevac services and specialized charter operations across Canada, North America, and the Caribbean. As an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME), you will help ensure the safety, reliability, and readiness of our fleet through hands-on maintenance, inspections, troubleshooting, and repairs in a dynamic operational environment.

In this role, you'll go beyond routine maintenance. You'll be supporting time-sensitive missions that directly impact remote communities and critical care transport. The environment is fast-paced and varied, offering exposure to diverse aircraft and real-time operational challenges.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Fly-In/Fly-Out Options Available - FIFO offers a structured rotation that gives you focused work periods followed by meaningful time off. It also supports a more efficient way of working, where you can maximize earning potential through concentrated shifts and overtime, while still having real downtime between rotations.
• Rotational Schedule: 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off or 1 week on / 1 week off
• Compensation: Up to $60/hour, dependent on qualification, shift premium and base premium
• Salary $ 22.00 to $ 49.00 HOUR hourly
• Work Half the Year with built-in time off
• Diverse Fleet Exposure: Navajo, Metro, Westwind, Astra
• Company provided accommodation during rotations
• Location: Sioux Lookout, ON

Benefits & Perks

• Extended health, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage
• Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP)
• Group Retirement Savings Plan with company matching
• Company-paid accommodation, travel, and per diem when working away from base
• Professional development support for training and certifications

What You'll Be Doing

• Perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on a diverse fleet
• Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical issues in real-time operations
• Support aircraft used in medevac and time-critical missions
• Exposure to detailed Engine work supporting internal engine shop
• Exposure to Structures, Avionics, and Modification specialties in fully rated AMO
• Work closely with flight operations and engineering teams

What We're Looking For

• Transport Canada AME M1 License (M2 an asset)
• 2+ years of aircraft maintenance experience
• Strong troubleshooting and mechanical skills
• Experience with Navajo, Metro, or Westwind (asset)
• Comfortable working in dynamic, operational environments

Who This Role Is Perfect For

• Those who value time off + rotation lifestyle
• Candidates open to travel and varied operations
• Engineers who want their work to have a meaningful real-world impact

The Impact

Every aircraft you maintain supports:

• Medevac missions to remote communities
• Organ transport and critical care flights
• Essential services Charter operations across North America

This is work that is fast paced and rewarding due to its critical nature, each day and each flight is meaningful, being part of a team that supports a fleet that the province and people of Ontario rely on brings a rewarding satisfaction to the work completed.
