Structure Supervisor
Some people maintain airplanes. Our people keep legends flying. Nolinor Aviation operates the world’s largest fleet of Boeing 737-200s, rugged, gravel-kit-equipped workhorses that land where other jets simply can’t: unpaved strips in the Canadian Arctic, remote mine sites and communities at the edge of the map. Alongside them, our Boeing 737-300s and 737-400s round out a fleet built for hard work in hard places.
Now we’re expanding west. Our Edmonton base is growing fast and we’re looking for a Structure Supervisor to build a heavy maintenance structure team from the ground up. This isn’t a keep-the-seat-warm job. It’s a chance to recruit your crew, shape your shop and put your fingerprints on a brand-new operation with the backing of a company that’s been mastering northern aviation for over 30 years.
Responsibilities
- Build and lead the team : supervise all structures personnel, assign work according to skills and qualifications, and develop your technicians through on-the-job training.
- Own the aircraft under your care : perform complete daily reviews of each work package, ensure all work documents and maintenance releases are duly signed and recorded, and verify completion of all maintenance duties under your supervision.
- Drive the check : provide daily inspection and check progress status, flag potential delays early, complete the Daily Report, and keep the shift pass-over airtight.
- Manage defects like a pro : approve defects, raise non-routine cards, and establish manpower and material requirements for rectification in conjunction with the Manager.
- Keep the parts flowing : enter requisitions into the computerized maintenance system and ensure requests for parts, tooling, equipment, and material reach the Manager on time.
- Supervise internal structural repairs opened under your scope of work (sheet metal / structures).
- Champion safety : ensure all safety measures are respected, report any accident or damage, and uphold Nolinor’s Safety and Quality Management System (SQMS).
- Handle the people side : employee evaluations, weekly time sheet approvals, job card clocking accuracy, discipline when required, and vacation/banking calendars.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement program and monitor in-flight maintenance reports.
Requirements
- AME licence;
- Solid structure experience, or a strong structure/sheet metal background in heavy aircraft maintenance;
- Previous supervisory or lead-hand experience in a heavy maintenance (MRO) environment;
- A builder’s mindset : you thrive on standing up new teams, new processes and new facilities;
- Sharp documentation discipline: work packages, maintenance releases and regulatory paperwork done right every time;
- Strong communication skills and the judgment to make the right call when the schedule is tight;
- Legally entitled to work in Canada.
