Papua New Guinea
Rotation or Full Relocation Available

Volantes Technical Recruitment are supporting a well-established international aviation operator in the recruitment of experienced Licensed Aircraft Engineers (B1 & B2) for operations based in Papua New Guinea.

This is not a traditional base maintenance position.

These roles sit within an active operational environment supporting passenger, cargo and remote air support operations across mountainous and jungle terrain. Engineers will gain a level of responsibility, autonomy and variety rarely found in large airline or MRO environments.

Opportunities are available on both long-term relocation and equal-time rotational contracts.

The Opportunity

You will join a small, highly experienced engineering team maintaining aircraft operating daily into remote airstrips and challenging operating conditions. The position suits engineers who enjoy hands-on maintenance, problem solving and operational decision-making.

This is a genuine lifestyle role as well as a career opportunity, offering exposure to real operational aviation rather than repetitive hangar maintenance.

Responsibilities

• Certifying scheduled and unscheduled maintenance

• Line maintenance and defect rectification

• Troubleshooting and AOG recovery

• Aircraft dispatch and technical support to flight crews

• Working closely with operations and logistics departments

• Maintaining accurate technical documentation and records

• Ensuring compliance with regulatory and company procedures

• Supporting remote base operations where required

Requirements

• B1.3 / B2 License
• AS332 L2 type rating
• EASA / UK CAA / ICAO recognised B1 Licence
• Turbine aircraft experience essential
• Utility aircraft, regional airline, bush flying or helicopter experience highly desirable
• Strong troubleshooting capability
• Comfortable working independently

What’s Offered

• Competitive tax-efficient salary package

• Choice of rotation or full relocation

• Accommodation provided

• Flights provided

• Local transport support

• Visa and work permit sponsorship

• Insurance and medical cover

• Structured leave patterns for rotational staff

• Ongoing long-term opportunity with a stable international operator

The Ideal Candidate

This role suits engineers who:

• Prefer practical engineering over heavy paperwork environments

• Enjoy problem solving

• Are confident making technical decisions

• Want something different from standard airline maintenance

• Are adaptable and professional in a remote working environment

Previous remote operations, military, offshore helicopter, humanitarian, or regional airline experience would be highly advantageous but is not essential.
