The Line Manager plays a critical role in the safety, efficiency, and overall success of daily aviation operations. This position serves as the bridge between leadership and the line service team, helping ensure aircraft are moved, fueled, staged, and supported safely and on time.

In private aviation, every detail matters. The Line Supervisor helps create a smooth experience for pilots, passengers, maintenance, operations, and client service teams by making sure the ramp, hangar, equipment, and aircraft are ready when needed.

This role also directly impacts the company’s safety culture. By coaching team members, reinforcing procedures, identifying risks, and leading by example, the Line Supervisor helps protect employees, customers, aircraft, and the overall operation.

• Collaborate with a dynamic marketing team in a fast‑growing industry.
