Job Summary

We are seeking highly skilled and adaptable B2 (Avionics) Licensed Engineers to join our mobile support team. This is not a hangar‑bound role; you will be the front‑line technical expert supporting customer operations across the Africa and Middle East (AME) region.

You will ensure the highest standards of safety and availability for heavy twin‑engine helicopters operating in diverse and often challenging environments.

Primary Responsibilities

• Maintenance Execution: Perform scheduled (Base/Line) and unscheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, and defect rectification on H225, Caracal, and Super Puma families.

• Compliance: Certify all work performed in accordance with EASA Part 145 standards (or equivalent local CAA regulations) and company Quality Management Systems.
• Customer Liaison: Act as a technical ambassador, providing guidance to customer maintenance teams and ensuring operational continuity.
• Safety & Quality: Maintain a "Safety First" culture, ensuring all tooling, parts, and procedures meet rigorous aviation standards.

• Type Ratings: Current Type Ratings on H225 (EC225LP) and/or AS332 (L1, L2, C1).
• Experience: Minimum 5+ years of hands‑on maintenance experience on the specified types.
• Mobility: High flexibility for frequent travel and short‑term assignments across Africa & the Middle East.
• Language: Proficiency in English (technical and spoken). French is a significant advantage for West African operations.
• Mobilization: Open for mobilization and deployment to Africa & Middle East countries for short missions.

The "Plus" Factors

• Additional Type Ratings on other Airbus Helicopters (e.g., H145, H135, or AS365/H155).
• Experience with military variants (Caracal/Cougar) and mission‑specific equipment.
• Proven ability to work independently in remote or austere environments.

Personal Profile

• Resilient: You thrive in high‑pressure environments and can solve complex technical problems with limited local infrastructure.
• Adaptable: You are culturally sensitive and comfortable moving between different countries and customer environments.
• Autonomous: You have a "can‑do" attitude and the ability to make sound technical decisions in the field.
