Technical Planning & Materials

Closing Date

25-Jul-2025

Main Objectives

To strategically plan, coordinate, and optimize all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities across Gulf Air’s B787 and A32F fleet. The role ensures full airworthiness compliance and aircraft availability through detailed forecasting, technical analysis, work package preparation, resource planning, and cross-functional coordination using the AMOS system. This position plays a critical role in maintaining operational continuity, safety, and cost efficiency while ensuring alignment with regulatory obligations and commercial demands.

In addition to the planning of routine and non-routine maintenance, the role is responsible for supporting the core functions of the Aircraft Technical Maintenance Planning department. This includes ensuring that all planned maintenance—whether carried out internally or by third-party MROs—is executed to the highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance. The role also supports budget adherence, fosters collaboration across departments, and ensures that Gulf Air's fleet is maintained in accordance with all applicable regulatory and manufacturer requirements.

Main Duties

  • Maintenance Forecasting and Scheduling

Develop and manage detailed short, medium, and long-term maintenance forecasts for the entire fleet using the AMOS system, based on aircraft utilization and operational plans.

  • Ensure scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities are accurately aligned with flight schedules and maintenance program thresholds.
  • Optimise maintenance plans dynamically in response to operational changes, ensuring continued compliance with airworthiness requirements and minimal impact on operations.
  • Work Package Development and Execution
  • Prepare and issue comprehensive work packages for Line and Base Maintenance, including A-Checks, C-Checks, and heavy maintenance inputs (6-year, 12-year, structural inspections).

  • Coordinate with third-party MROs and internal departments to ensure required documentation, materials, manpower, and tooling are in place for seamless execution.
  • Ensure that planned activities are completed within the approved timeframes, budget, and quality standards.
  • Airworthiness and Compliance Oversight
  • Review and plan the incorporation of Airworthiness Directives (ADs), Service Bulletins (SBs), Engineering Orders (EOs), and Modifications in coordination with Engineering and Production teams.

  • Monitor due dates and plan for timely compliance with regulatory and manufacturer-mandated items, ensuring proper back-reporting in AMOS for authority audits.
  • Establish and manage a dedicated Modifications Control process to monitor, plan, and track all SBs, ADs, and warranty-limited items.
  • AMOS System Administration and Development
  • Provide training and functional guidance on AMOS to planning team members, ensuring high-quality data entry, compliance tracking, and work package generation.

  • Coordinate with IT to address AMOS anomalies, define new workflows, recommend process improvements, and implement configuration or parameter changes for operational efficiency.
  • Initiate and manage support cases with AMOS vendors through IT for swift issue resolution.
  • Deferred Defect & MCC Coordination
  • Review and track deferred defects (MEL / CDL), ensuring structural and high-interval items are bundled with scheduled maintenance inputs.

  • Collaborate closely with MCC to prioritize rectification and clearance of defects during appropriate maintenance windows.
  • Prepare recovery work packages for AOG events and unscheduled tasks such as engine changes or structural repairs.
  • HT Component, Landing Gear, and Engine Planning
  • Monitor and control Hard Time (HT) components, Landing Gear Overhauls, and Life-Limited Parts (LLPs) to align with maintenance schedules and minimize aircraft downtime.

  • Prepare and maintain a quarterly engine replacement plan in collaboration with the Propulsion team, based on engine condition monitoring data and spare engine availability.
  • Monitor off-wing engine preservation activities and other storage-related requirements to ensure compliance with OEM and regulatory obligations.
  • Coordinate engine and component replacements to avoid unscheduled downtime and ensure availability of serviceable units.
  • Base Maintenance Planning and Quality Alignment
  • Plan and execute base maintenance events in coordination with Production Planning, Base Maintenance, Quality Assurance, and Engineering teams.

  • Conduct pre-input meetings and daily reviews to align resources, manage variations, and update task priorities.
  • Handle deferments and variations to scheduled maintenance via the in-house QA department, ensuring compliance while accommodating unanticipated operational changes.
  • Line Maintenance & Short-Term Planning
  • Supervise the short-term planning requirements in coordinating all maintenance activities especially those below A-Check level (e.g., Transit, DY, WY tasks), ensuring timely and comprehensive execution.

  • Optimize aircraft routing and rotations to maximize ground time utilization and support line and base maintenance activities without compromising operational performance.
  • Aircraft Induction, Phase-Out & Special Projects
  • Lead planning functions for aircraft induction and phase-out, ensuring documentation, modification, and task compliance in line with leasing or regulatory standards.

  • Manage special maintenance events such as cabin reconfigurations, livery changes, or structural repairs through dedicated project-based work planning.
  • Support internal and external audits, and immediately address any perceived quality or compliance deficiencies.
  • Documentation & Process Improvement
  • Ensure all task cards, planning records, and certifications are up-to-date and stored in AMOS in accordance with regulatory requirements.

  • Work with AMP and Engineering to correct inaccuracies in work templates and task documentation.
  • Continuously review planning workflows and suggest refinements to improve accuracy, efficiency, and cross-departmental coordination.
  • Logistics & Supply Chain Integration
  • Collaborate with the Stores and Materials teams during the receiving process, updating AMOS with correct engine and rotable modification data and applicable requirements.

  • Coordinate timely availability of rotables, tooling, and consumables in line with scheduled and opportunistic replacement plans.
  • Long-Term Storage & Parking Oversight
  • Plan and manage maintenance requirements for aircraft in long-term storage or parking status, ensuring all preservation activities and regulatory tasks are performed on time.

  • Coordinate periodic checks and system protection actions in accordance with OEM instructions and authority mandates.
  • Education and Experience
