You will coordinate with Maintenance Planning teams and MRO providers to secure capacity for scheduled base maintenance events, ensuring precise aircraft downtime allocation and optimised availability. You can expect to analyse fleet utilisation trends, conduct "what-if" scenarios for operational disruptions, identify life-limited parts and major component requirements, and collaborate with Finance to forecast long-term capital expenditure. You'll monitor key fleet maintenance KPIs, provide senior management with strategic recommendations, and work closely with stakeholders across the business to ensure maintenance activities are fully resourced and operationally feasible. This is a critical role where your strategic planning will directly enhance operational excellence, fleet reliability, and Riyadh Air's journey to becoming a world-class airline.

You will also bring proficiency in project management methodologies and attention to detail that ensures compliance with the highest industry standards. We'd love to hear from you even more if you possess demonstrated experience with AMOS software, as well as an AME/A&P License or engineering qualifications in Aviation or another relevant field.
