• Provide technical support for modifications to the reliability and maintenance programs, considering changes in aircraft utilization, staffing, ground time, and network demands.
• Liaise with vendors, Field Service Representatives, OEMs, and other engineering trades to ensure that maintenance and reliability issues are addressed and that any upgrades or improvements are integrated effectively.
• Support new aircraft inductions, internal/external audits, and business improvement initiatives, while optimizing scheduled maintenance visits and heavy maintenance programs.
• Act as a backup to maintain and continuously improve the scheduled maintenance program, ensuring alignment with company policies, manufacturer guidance, and Transport Canada regulatory requirements.
• Participate in maintenance status and planning meetings as a key technical advisor for Reliability.
