Job description

Description
Air New England is seeking an experienced professional pilot to join our team as an Assistant Director of Operations and Part 135 Pilot.

For the right individual, this position offers the potential to develop into the company's Director of Operations position.
What We're Looking For
First and foremost, we are looking for a leader.

Responsibilities

  • Provide leadership and support to the company's pilot group
  • Working closely with the Vice President and Charter Department to coordinate daily operations
  • Assist in resolving scheduling, crew, aircraft, weather, maintenance, and other operational issues
  • Promoting consistent compliance with company procedures, Operations Specifications, and applicable FAA regulations
  • Assisting with FAA correspondence, inspections, surveillance, and certificate-management matters
  • Review operational practices and identify areas where procedures can be improved
  • Take primary responsibility for revising and maintaining company manuals, including the General Operations Manual, Training Manual, and related policies and procedures, with assistance from the Assistant Director of Operations
  • Supporting pilot training, standardization, and communication
  • Participating in the continued development of the company's safety and compliance culture

Benefits
  • 8 paid holidays
  • Anthem Medical (Includes Vision)
  • HSA
  • 401K after 90 days of employment
  • $15,000 company paid life insurance
  • Company paid short-term disability coverage
