Job Description
A Melbourne, AR leader at the forefront of aviation maintenance is hiring a Quality Manager / Chief Inspector to oversee final inspection, regulatory compliance, and quality systems inside its FAA Part 145 repair station. This is a hands-on, onsite leadership role responsible for releasing aircraft components, running internal audits, managing AS9110/ISO quality systems, and guiding a small inspection team on the production floor. The role exists because the previous leader retired, and the bar is high. They are looking for a senior aviation quality professional who knows Part 145 cold, can juggle inspections and audits without losing rigor, and wants real ownership in a stable, growing MRO.

Prepare for and manage FAA, customer, and third-party audits
Supervise and mentor inspection staff
Provide daily direction, training, and annual performance evaluations
Partner with the Shop Manager and COO on quality and operational priorities
Lead problem-solving efforts tied to quality findings and customer requirements
Quality Manager / Chief Inspector Requirements:
8+ years of aviation quality experience
Prior experience as a Quality Manager or Chief Inspector
Direct experience in a FAA Part 145 Repair Station
Deep knowledge of FAA regulations, especially CFR Part 145

Experience supporting EASA and UK CAA compliance
Strong audit preparation and documentation skills
