Job Description

Overview

Aeroates Ltd is recruiting on behalf of its client for a Safety and Compliance Officer. Our client operates across several aviation approvals in Malta: a business aviation Air Operator Certificate (AOC) issued by the Civil Aviation Directorate (CAD), a ground handling licence, and a Part-145 maintenance organisation approval currently being established. The client manages fleet of five business jets and support operations through international line stations. 

Key Duties and Responsibilities

  • Draft, review and maintain the Safety Management Manual (SMM) and Compliance Monitoring Manual (CMM), keeping them current with regulation and operational reality.
  • Coordinate safety and compliance activity across the group's aviation approvals (FBO, AOC and the emerging Part-145) and international line stations, working with subcontracted and in-house support staff.
  • Support the nominated persons across departments with documentation structure, procedure writing and compliance — helping ensure consistency across the manual suite.
  • Assist the Compliance Monitoring Programme: audit scheduling, tracking findings and corrective actions, and supporting close-out.
  • Support the Safety Management System: occurrence and hazard reporting administration, risk assessment records and Safety Review Board material.
  • Review, strengthen and take ownership of the Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programme and develop safety trend monitoring — building the structure to capture, analyse and act on operational data, and feeding the findings into the SMS.
  • Help prepare documentation for CAD audits, approvals and amendments.
  • Track relevant EASA and Malta CAD regulatory changes and flag their impact on procedures.
Requirements

  • Background in aviation safety, quality, compliance or operations — ideally with an AOC, CAMO, Part-145 or ATO.

  • Working knowledge of the EASA framework (Part-ORO and Part-CAT and/or Part-NCC).

  • Proven ability and genuine enthusiasm for developing, writing, and structuring aviation manuals, procedures, and technical documentation.

  • A pragmatic and commercially aware approach, with the ability to balance safety and compliance requirements with operational and business objectives, while working efficiently within a lean, group-supported environment.

  • Eligibility to work in Malta and in the EU.

Education and Experience

  • Exposure to ground handling/FBO and/or Part-145 maintenance environments, and to managing FDM programmes.

  • Familiarity with Malta CAD processes.

Benefits

  • A full-time, permanent role with a broad remit.

  • Competitive gross salary commensurate with experience.

  • Genuine opportunity to take on increased responsibility and progress within the organisation as you demonstrate your capabilities and performance.
