Once comfortable in the Customer Support role, you can be trained in one or both of the following roles:

MATERIALS SUPPORT

This role is responsible for sourcing and ordering aircraft materials requested by our Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AME). Materials Support acts as a liaison between the Purchasing Department and the AME’s to gather information on the status of parts and forecast the progression of the project. To do this, you will create daily reports using Microsoft Excel. Once received, the material needs to be organized for current or upcoming projects. In this role, every day will be different!

PRODUCTION SUPPORT

Creating and maintaining project records, controlling legal documentation for an aircraft, entering data in accordance with Transport Canada regulations, and generating daily customer reports for on-site customer representatives. The Production Support role is largely administrative and will appeal to those who prefer a structured work environment.
