Work environment

We are a dynamic team responsible to maintain 3 full flight simulators (FFS)* used by Transport Canada (C550 and C90A) and the Canadian Coast Guard (Bell 412EPI and Bell 429). We have a wide range of simulator technologies, so there is always something to learn and repair. We are a small team of 7 members supported by knowledgeable instructors that work closely with us to ensure the FFS are representative of their aircrafts. We rotate through two shifts 7:00-15:00 and 14:30 – 22:30 - flexible to adjust depending on personal needs. We are open to hire a candidate with a wide range of experience and education, so please apply if you are interested in the position!
