Director of Maintenance

What This Role Looks Like: This is not a desk-only title. Some days you’ll be in the airplane. Some days you’ll be in the manual, on the phone with Diamond, or walking a customer through a finding. As the location grows, the job will shift more toward leadership, planning, and building the team — but the standard stays the same: airworthy airplanes and clean paperwork.

Responsibilities: • Competitive pay based on experience

• Professional development support

• Opportunity to help build a new Diamond service location from the ground up

• Lead day-to-day maintenance operations for Diamond and other GA aircraft

• Serve as the maintenance authority for the service center, including return-to-service oversight

• Perform and supervise inspections, scheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs

• Keep the shop compliant with FARs, the Repair Station Manual, manufacturer data, ADs, and SBs

• Build and maintain accurate aircraft and shop records

• Schedule work, manage workflow, and keep aircraft moving without sacrificing quality

• Supervise, train, and develop technicians

• Coordinate parts, tooling, vendors, and OEM support

• Work directly with owners, pilots, and internal teams on status, findings, and next steps

• Represent the shop during FAA visits, audits, and certificate-related activity

• Help stand up systems, processes, and standards as the Utah location grows

• Champion safety on the floor every day
