Original job description
Rotational | Fly-In/Fly-Out Available (FIFO)
Join SkyCare’s Maintenance team and play an important role in supporting aircraft that deliver life-saving medevac services and specialized charter operations across Canada, North America, and the Caribbean. As an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME), you will help ensure the safety, reliability, and readiness of our fleet through hands-on maintenance, inspections, troubleshooting, and repairs in a dynamic operational environment.
In this role, you’ll go beyond routine maintenance. You’ll be supporting time-sensitive missions that directly impact remote communities and critical care transport. The environment is fast-paced and varied, offering exposure to diverse aircraft and real-time operational challenges.

Why This Role Stands Out

- Compensation: Up to $60/hour, dependent on qualification, shift premium and base premium
- Work Half the Year with built-in time off

- Company provided accommodation during rotations
Benefits & Perks

- Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP)

- Perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on a diverse fleet
- Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical issues in real-time operations
- Support aircraft used in medevac and time-critical missions
- Exposure to detailed Engine work supporting internal engine shop
- Exposure to Structures, Avionics, and Modification specialties in fully rated AMO
- Work closely with flight operations and engineering teams
- Transport Canada AME M1 License (M2 an asset)
- 2+ years of aircraft maintenance experience
- Strong troubleshooting and mechanical skills
- Experience with Navajo, Metro, or Westwind (asset)
- Comfortable working in dynamic, operational environments
