Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is an organisation using light aircraft to deliver help and hope in over 30 developing countries, for more than 75 years! MAF transports patients, relief workers, produce, and medical supplies to the world’s remotest regions and places of deepest human need – places where flying is not a luxury but a lifeline.
We have a great opportunity for an Aircraft Engineer to join our Mareeba and Arnhem Land Maintenance Team to support operational MAF Programs by maintaining a range of aircraft types within the MAF Fleet.
Our aircraft land on some of the most challenging terrain you can imagine. Safety is key so the skill that an engineer brings to our aircraft is essential. We operate mainly single-engine turbine and single-engine piston aircraft. If you are interested in combining your engineering skills with the opportunity to serve in mission, this could be the job for you.
Responsibilities:
1. Have comprehensive knowledge of aircraft systems and carry out approved maintenance processes to maintain the airworthiness of the aircraft, complying with regulatory and organisational requirements.
2. Perform highly-skilled, complex, and specialist work, maintaining aircraft systems according to approved data and work instructions, and using relevant hand tools and equipment.
3. Research data sources, ensuring that on completion of a task all aircraft documentation is accurately completed and signed for.
4. Identify and resolve problems using the approved data and processes, understanding the limits of their authority/approval.
5. Demonstrate flexibility to work both individually and as part of a global engineering team, which may involve supporting the maintenance of the MAF Fleet at locations other than their base location for up to 10 weeks per year.
6. Actively participate in the Quality and Safety Management Systems by seeking opportunities for continual improvement, cooperating with quality and safety audits, using safe working practices, and contributing to a positive safety culture.
Qualifications, Skills & Experience:
1. Secondary education completion certificate or equivalent achieved at 18 years old, that must include Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and ideally English, all at a high pass mark.

3. Human Factors in Aviation Maintenance Initial certificate.
4. A minimum of two years’ aircraft maintenance experience (will accept experience gained during apprenticeship training).
5. EWIS (Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems) Target Group 1&2 certificate, for both mechanical and avionics engineers.
6. Strong command of technical English communication, minimum ICAO Level 4 National Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence.
7. Turbine or reciprocating engine maintenance experience.
8. Sheet metal and/or composite material fabrication or repair experience.
