Remote Embraer 145 Pilot Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Total Aviation Staffing is hiring a Remote Strategic Sourcing Specialist – Aftermarket Aviation Parts for our client, a growing aviation and aerospace organization supporting commercial and military aircraft programs.

This role is ideal for an experienced aviation sourcing, procurement, or purchasing professional who knows how to find, qualify, negotiate, and secure aftermarket aircraft parts in a fast-moving environment. You will source components for both commercial and military platforms, build relationships with suppliers, support AOG requirements, and help ensure high-quality parts are delivered on time with proper documentation and traceability.

If you have experience sourcing hard-to-find aircraft parts, working with OEMs, MROs, repair stations, distributors, and surplus suppliers, this is a strong remote opportunity where your aviation parts knowledge can directly impact operational success.

As a Strategic Sourcing Specialist, you will manage sourcing, purchasing, supplier relationships, and procurement activity for aftermarket aviation components.

Key responsibilities include:

• Source and procure aftermarket aircraft parts for commercial and military aircraft platforms.
• Build and maintain relationships with OEMs, authorized distributors, MROs, repair stations, brokers, and surplus inventory suppliers.
• Identify alternate sourcing channels to improve cost, availability, quality, and lead times.
• Request, review, and compare supplier quotations.
• Negotiate pricing, delivery timelines, terms, and purchasing agreements.
• Expedite critical material requests to support AOG and urgent operational needs.
• Verify documentation, traceability, certifications, and regulatory compliance for procured components.
• Work closely with Supply Chain, Engineering, Production, Quality, and Program Management teams.
• Monitor supplier performance and assist with corrective actions when service levels, quality, or delivery standards are not met.
• Support inventory forecasting and strategic purchasing initiatives.
• Maintain accurate procurement records in ERP/MRP systems.
• Support sourcing strategies that align with cost, schedule, quality, and program requirements.

The ideal candidate is resourceful, detail-oriented, and experienced in aviation aftermarket sourcing. You should know how to move quickly without cutting corners, especially when dealing with AOG needs, traceability, documentation, and supplier reliability.

This role is a strong fit for someone who understands that in aviation parts procurement, “cheap and fast” means nothing if the paperwork is a disaster. The part has to be available, compliant, traceable, and delivered when promised. That’s the game.

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in aviation sourcing, procurement, purchasing, or supply chain.
• Proven experience sourcing aftermarket commercial and/or military aircraft parts.
• Strong understanding of aviation supply chain processes and aftermarket distribution.
• Experience working with OEMs, MROs, repair stations, aviation parts distributors, brokers, and surplus inventory suppliers.
• Ability to source difficult, obsolete, or hard-to-find aircraft components.
• Strong negotiation and supplier management skills.
• Ability to review quotes, compare options, and make informed sourcing recommendations.
• Strong understanding of documentation, traceability, certifications, and compliance requirements for aircraft parts.
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.

• Familiarity with commercial aircraft platforms such as Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and Bombardier.
• Experience with military aircraft platforms such as C-130, F-16, F-15, KC-135, C-17, CH-47, UH-60, AH-64, or similar.
• Experience in an FAA Part 145 Repair Station environment.
• Knowledge of government and defense procurement processes.
• Understanding of FAA, AS9100, ISO, and military quality standards.
• Experience supporting AOG sourcing, urgent material requirements, or high-priority program needs.
• Experience with strategic purchasing, supplier scorecards, inventory planning, or cost-reduction initiatives.

This is a remote opportunity for an aviation sourcing professional who wants to play a meaningful role in aftermarket parts procurement, supplier strategy, and aircraft support operations.

This opportunity offers:

• Remote work
• Competitive salary of $80,000 – $100,000
• Commission/bonus opportunities
• Opportunity to source parts for commercial and military aircraft platforms
• High-impact role supporting AOG and mission-critical requirements
