* Ensure full compliance across aviation regulatory and quality frameworks including FAA and EASA environments
* Oversee operational excellence, continuous improvement, and risk mitigation across the site
* Build strong relationships internally across a matrix organisation and externally with customers, regulators, and industry partners
* Champion a people first leadership culture built around trust, accountability, collaboration, and long term employee engagement
What They Are Looking For
* Senior leadership experience within aviation MRO, aerospace services, airline engineering, or a highly regulated technical environment
* Strong commercial and financial acumen with previous P&L responsibility
* Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams in a complex operational setting
* Experience scaling operations, developing teams, and driving strategic growth initiatives
* Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills
* A leadership style that balances commercial performance with culture, employee development, and long term organisational stability
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
* Rare opportunity to inherit an established operation with significant projected growth
* Executive level visibility and influence within a global aerospace organisation

* Opportunity to shape the future direction of a specialised aviation business unit
