Role 03 of 07Long-term
Lead the team that keeps us flying, and its spiritual life.
I’m interestedThe Director of Maintenance leads our maintenance staff and operations, ensuring safety, compliance, training and efficiency, while modeling servant leadership, integrity and strong character. You’ll oversee airworthiness and the hangar staff, keep proper records, address audit findings, manage resources and training, and lead regular safety and performance meetings. You’ll obtain and hold a CASA PNG LAME licence with IA. The fleet is Cessna 206 floatplanes, piston with large-diameter seaplane propellers, maintained through salt, silt and humidity in the only hangar in the region.
Picture the regular safety and performance meeting in the Wewak hangar: Line Mechanics, PNG apprentice engineers, and pilots who give about a third of their time to maintenance. You set the standard for the records, the audit findings and the training plan. You also set the tone for how this team lives out its faith.
Every role is a ministry role, and this one leads a team in it. You’ll provide spiritual leadership to the maintenance staff, take part in evangelism and outreach in the Sepik and Gulf, and support the hospital ministry, where every patient hears the gospel and receives an audio Bible in their own language.

Long-term: a two-year, renewable commitment, including a required six-month return home.
Typically 12 to 24 months from application to arrival on the field.
