Job Description:

The Continuing Airworthiness Manager is a critical member of the Customer Care Centre Operations, Asia Pacific team. This role contributes to ensuring the ongoing airworthiness and successful project management of Airbus aircraft throughout their lifecycle, excluding the A400M. The person will act as a key technical focal point, coordinating diverse stakeholders and assisting in the resolution of complex technical issues to achieve on-time, on-cost, and high-quality project delivery. This position offers a dynamic environment with opportunities to learn and contribute to managing a variety of aircraft types and projects globally, including potential for significant business travel.

• Aircraft Lifecycle and Project Management:

  • Manage activities to ensure the Aircraft Transfer of Title (ToT) and support Airbus&39;s aircraft delivery objectives. This may require an adjustment of working hours, working patterns, and holiday periods.

  • Manage aircraft from post-ToT or used aircraft acquisitions, including storage, recoveries, transitions (between two operators, between lessor and operator, between Airbus Corporate Jet and a customer), conversions (cabin conversion, pax to freighter, paint, upgrades), and aircraft dismantling.

  • Serve as the technical focal point responsible for coordinating all technical stakeholders and supporting the Project Manager (PM) to secure the project on time, on cost, and on quality for CAMO or CAMO-like projects.

  • Manage the return of aircraft following lease termination or recovery for operational reasons. This includes managing the on-site team (typically comprising aircraft inspectors and aircraft records inspectors) and analyzing results in relation to regulatory requirements and contractual lease conditions. Ensure any discrepancies are followed up and closed out with the Operator.

• Continuing Airworthiness & Regulatory Compliance:

  • Manage aircraft under the scope of responsibility of the Airbus CAMO, which will be nominated by the CAMO post holder.

  • Ensure all activities undertaken (in-house or subcontracted) are compliant with the Part M regulations.

  • Interface with the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) organization managing the Part 145 storage and the Customer throughout the storage period up to and including aircraft delivery. This will require on-site visits to the MRO and potentially to the Customer&39;s facilities.

  • Assume personnel responsibility (qualified and trained personnel under the scrutiny of the authorities) when covering an aircraft managed under Airbus CAMO agreement. For example, for EASA, the CAMO is managed by the EASA Part M requirement, and activity is conditioned under the Airbus CAME (Exposition Manual).

  • Identify and highlight project risks and opportunities, ensuring aircraft safety and escalating (if needed) any SMS concern, while promoting a &34;speak-up&34; culture.

• Technical Oversight & Issue Resolution:

  • Monitor and manage the resolution of all technical issues for aircraft in their portfolio that pose a risk to on-time, on-cost, and on-quality delivery.

  • Approve technical work scopes, ensuring they are cost-efficient and the possibility for &39;out-of-scope&39; work is kept to an absolute minimum. Provide aircraft and engine statuses and the contractual requirements synthesis to optimize the definition of the work scope. Manage the Work Order content.

  • Ensure each Service Provider within the network of outsourced technical services organizations maintains up-to-date technical records for each of the aircrafts within their portfolio.

• Working Party Representative:

  • Provide on-site support for various activities like aircraft checks, paint follow-up, incoming inspections, flight departures and arrival, and working party supervision.

  • Airbus focal point on-site managing all interfaces with the full project ecosystem (for example, Airbus CAMO Project Manager, Airbus flight crew, Airbus Flight Manager department, airlines/lessors, maintenance centers, authorities, and different engineering departments).

  • In case of AOG, support the technical escalation to protect the flight schedule.

  • Identify and highlight project risks and opportunities

  • Challenge (when requested) the quotation provided by the maintenance center

• Performance Evaluation & Audit:
