• Lead / supervisor positions in Part-145 environments

What our clients typically require

• Type ratings — current demand centres on A320 family (CEO/NEO), A330, B737 (NG/MAX), B777, B787; other types project-dependent
• Recent experience in a Part-145 organisation

Contract types

Project contracts (typically 3–12 months), temp-to-perm, and direct permanent placements. Rates depend on qualifications, experience and location — we’re transparent about this from the first call.
