JetSupport is a fast-growing European business aviation MRO operating under EASA Part-145, with stations at Amsterdam Schiphol, Paris Le Bourget, Munich Oberpfaffenhofen, and Nice. We maintain some of the most demanding business jet programmes in Europe, and we hold ourselves to the same standard.
At Le Bourget, the Duty Manager is the person in charge when the hangar is live. You run the shift, lead the technicians on the floor, keep the aircraft moving, and you carry the authority to stop the work, or stop a release, the moment safety or compliance is at risk.
This is hands-on, high-tempo leadership. If you know what good looks like on a maintenance floor and you make decisions without waiting to be asked, read on.
When your shift is on, the hangar is yours. Safe, compliant, on time, and in that order, every time.
As Duty Manager at LFPB, you oversee and coordinate all maintenance activities in the hangar during your shift, ensuring the safety, reliability, and airworthiness of every aircraft in line with our Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE), company procedures, and applicable regulations. You combine technical depth with leadership and keep the operation moving under real time pressure.
You report to the Maintenance Manager on Part-145 matters and to the General Manager France on all other operational and commercial matters. You directly supervise the Certifying Staff (B1/B2) and mechanics, and you have shift-based oversight of Stores and the MCC.
This is a role for someone who is comfortable making real-time calls on the floor, balances customer deadlines against airworthiness without ever compromising the latter, and sets the tone for a safety-first, Just Culture team.
Oversee and coordinate all maintenance activities in the hangar during your shift, together with the MCC, ensuring compliance with aviation regulations and company policy.
Manage the maintenance workforce: delegate tasks, allocate qualified staff for adequate shift coverage, and adjust manpower in real time to workload and priorities.
Prioritise tasks against release milestones and aircraft schedules to deliver on time and keep aircraft availability high for the customer.
Lead kick-off, progress, and post-maintenance meetings, and ensure clean, complete handovers between shifts.
Monitor attendance, absences, and human-factors risks; authorise overtime within company limits.
Promote a safety-first, Just, and Responsible culture, and lead by example on every shift.
Ensure all work is performed in accordance with the MOE, AMM, CMM, IPC, and approved data.
Conduct Part-145 safety audits and inspections to identify and mitigate hazards; participate in risk assessments.
Stop work, or restrict and close areas, the moment a safety or compliance risk is identified.
Support occurrence reporting (JetReports) and a strong, open SMS reporting culture.
Ensure all maintenance work is completed to the highest standards of quality and accuracy.
Review and approve maintenance documentation and work orders; coordinate rectification of findings.
Verify work-package completeness before Certificate of Release to Service (CRS), and prevent any non-compliant release.
Ensure additional work is never embodied without proper approval and registration; hold the aircraft until documentation is complete.
Provide leadership and guidance to Certifying Staff (B1/B2) and mechanics; promote teamwork and professional development.
Coordinate training and development, and handle minor disciplinary matters during the shift, escalating where needed.
Maintain a pleasant, safe, and secure working environment for the team.
Diagnose and troubleshoot technical issues, working closely with engineering and technical teams to resolve complex challenges.
Act as the main point of contact for staff and customers during your shift; coordinate the resolution of complaints and special requests.
Keep accurate records of shift activities, incidents, and decisions, and report on maintenance performance and anomalies.
Escalate technical, safety, manpower, or commercial risks effectively to the Maintenance Manager and General Manager France.
Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, or equivalent demonstrated competency.
Minimum 5 years of aircraft maintenance experience, with a proven track record in supervisory or management roles.
EASA Part-66 AML (Regulation 1321/2014), supplemented with relevant type training.
Familiarity with the regulatory framework: EASA, and ideally TCCA, FAA, and CAA-UK.
Strong leadership and team-management skills, with the judgement to make real-time operational decisions under pressure.
English at C1 level or higher.
Experience in business aviation.
Human Factors, EWIS, and Fuel Tank Safety training.
Proficiency with maintenance and project-management software tools.
French language skills — an advantage in the LFPB operating environment.
A role with full operational control of the hangar floor — when your shift is on, the station is yours to run.
Direct access to senior management (Maintenance Manager and General Manager France) and a short decision-making line.
A genuinely international environment: Dutch, French, German, and English are all spoken in the same building.
Clear growth paths: toward Manager Operations, Maintenance Manager, or Station Manager.
A competitive salary package; details discussed during the interview process.
A station at Paris Le Bourget, the home of European business aviation.
