  • Work to improve existing technical and procedural processes within In-Service Engineering to provide the best service to operators of DASH-8 aircraft, where necessary.
  • Conduct periodic reviews and checks of repair designs completed by other members of the design group.
  • Investigate operator requests, recurring fleet issues, and provide support to core engineering design.
  • Coordinate with Regional Support Offices to ensure 24/7 support of operators around the world.
  • Work effectively in partnership with members of the Customer Response Centre to provide coordinated responses to operator queries.

  • Experience in Dash-8 and/or CL215/415 aircraft structural repairs is an asset.
  • Eligible for registration by a Provincial Association as a professional engineer in Canada.
  • Ability to travel on short notice (including international travel).
