Seeking a hands-on Maintenance Operations Manager to lead day-to-day production on the floor of its Farmingdale maintenance facility. This role is responsible for coordinating people, projects, workflow, and resources to ensure maintenance jobs are completed correctly, efficiently, and on schedule. This is an operations and execution role—not a traditional Director of Maintenance or FAA regulatory position. The ideal candidate is a strong project manager who understands aviation maintenance and can translate plans into consistent results on the shop floor.
Key Responsibilities • Manage daily maintenance-shop workflow and production priorities.
• Coordinate maintenance projects from intake through completion.
• Track job status, deadlines, staffing, parts, and operational constraints.
• Keep technicians and other stakeholders aligned on priorities and expectations.
• Identify bottlenecks, delays, and resource needs before they affect delivery.
• Ensure work is performed correctly and in accordance with applicable procedures and regulations.
• Partner with the Director of Maintenance and other company leaders.
• Help establish consistent processes, accountability, and communication across the facility.
• Support a productive, organized, and professional shop environment.
• Provide clear updates on progress, risks, and completed work.
• Lead through hands-on involvement, sound judgment, and follow-through.
