Structure Supervisor

Some people maintain planes. Our people fly legends. Nolinor Aviation operates the world's largest fleet of Boeing 737-200s, robust workhorses equipped with gravel kits, that land where other planes simply cannot: unpaved runways in the Canadian Arctic, remote mining sites, and communities at the edge of the map. Alongside them, our Boeing 737-300 and 737-400 complete a fleet designed for hard work in tough conditions.

We are now expanding west. Our Edmonton base is growing rapidly and we are looking for a Structure Supervisor to build a heavy maintenance structure team. This is not a position where you just show up. This is an opportunity to recruit your team, shape your workshop, and leave your mark on a brand new operation with the support of a company that has mastered northern aviation for over 30 years.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead your team: supervise all personnel in the structure team, distribute work according to skills and qualifications, and ensure the development of technicians through on-the-job training.
• Ensure accountability for aircraft under your supervision: perform a complete daily review of each work card, ensure that all documentation and return-to-service certificates are duly completed, signed and recorded, and verify that all maintenance tasks are carried out in accordance with requirements.
• Drive work progress: perform daily inspections, monitor work progress, quickly identify risks of delay, complete the daily report, and ensure effective shift handover.
• Manage anomalies rigorously: approve defects, open unplanned work cards (non-routine cards), and determine, with the manager, the labor and material needs to perform repairs.
• Ensure availability of parts and materials: enter supply requests into the computerized maintenance system and ensure that requests for parts, tools, equipment, and materials are transmitted to the manager in a timely manner.
• Supervise structural repairs carried out within your scope of responsibility (sheet metal and structures).
• Promote a safety culture: ensure compliance with safety procedures, report any accidents or damage, and apply the requirements of Nolinor's Safety and Quality Management System (SQMS).
• Manage the human aspect: perform performance evaluations, approve weekly timesheets, validate the accuracy of hours recorded on work cards, apply disciplinary measures when required, and manage vacation schedules and time banks.
• Contribute to continuous improvement and ensure follow-up of in-flight maintenance reports.

Requirements

• AME license;
• Solid experience in structure, or solid experience in structure/sheet metal in heavy aircraft maintenance.
• Previous supervisory or team leader experience in a heavy maintenance (MRO) environment;
• A builder's spirit: you enjoy building your teams, implementing processes, and participating in the development of new facilities;
• Impeccable documentary rigor: work files, return-to-service certificates, and regulatory paperwork always completed with precision;
• Excellent communication skills and the judgment necessary to make the right decision when the deadline is tight;
• Legally authorized to work in Canada.
