What We’re Looking For
· Transport Canada AME M1 License (M2 an asset)
· 2+ years of aircraft maintenance experience
· Strong troubleshooting and mechanical skills
· Experience with Navajo, Metro, or Westwind (asset)
· Comfortable working in dynamic, operational environments
Who This Role Is Perfect For
· Those who value time off + rotation lifestyle
· Candidates open to travel and varied operations
· Engineers who want their work to have a meaningful real-world impact
The Impact
Every aircraft you maintain supports:
· Medevac missions to remote communities
· Organ transport and critical care flights

This is work that is fast paced and rewarding due to its critical nature, each day and each flight is meaningful, being part of a team that supports a fleet that the province and people of Ontario rely on brings a rewarding satisfaction to the work completed.
