Job Description

General Information

The A&P Mechanical Instructor – Coordinator / B1 will support a major H145 helicopter maintenance, training, and operational support program in Saudi Arabia. The position is focused on delivering practical and theoretical mechanical maintenance training for H145 maintenance personnel, with emphasis on airframe, powerplant, mechanical systems, inspection standards, maintenance procedures, troubleshooting practices, documentation discipline, and on-the-job training supervision.

The role combines three main functions: technical instruction, OJT coordination, and mechanical maintenance training supervision. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and delivering training programs for both fresh maintenance technicians and experienced technicians requiring platform-specific or advanced maintenance training.

The position requires strong H145 mechanical maintenance experience, formal instructor qualification, solid knowledge of approved maintenance data, and the ability to translate operational maintenance experience into structured training material, practical evaluations, and documented competence development.

Main Job Description

The A&P Mechanical Instructor – Coordinator / B1 will develop, deliver, coordinate, and evaluate H145 mechanical maintenance training in accordance with approved training standards, OEM documentation, project procedures, and customer requirements.

The instructor will provide classroom and practical instruction covering H145 airframe and powerplant systems, including engines, transmission, rotor systems, flight controls, hydraulic systems, fuel systems, landing gear, environmental systems, mechanical assemblies, servicing, inspection practices, troubleshooting, component replacement, and general maintenance procedures.

The role includes developing structured OJT programs, lesson plans, technical presentations, practical exercises, training handouts, assessment tools, evaluation checklists, and training records. The instructor will directly supervise technicians during practical training, monitor their progress, assess competence, and ensure that all OJT activities are properly documented.

The position also requires coordination with maintenance management, quality control, training departments, B1/B2 technicians, supervisors, and customer representatives to ensure that training content is aligned with operational requirements, safety standards, maintenance procedures, and aircraft availability.

The instructor will support the development of maintenance personnel by ensuring they understand correct use of aircraft maintenance manuals, illustrated parts catalogues, service bulletins, tooling requirements, inspection standards, defect reporting, technical log entries, and maintenance release documentation.

Where required, the instructor may also support technical writing activities, including preparation or review of training manuals, maintenance procedures, work instructions, assessment forms, and technical guidance documents.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop and deliver H145 mechanical maintenance training for fresh technicians, experienced technicians, and advanced maintenance personnel.
• Provide theoretical and practical instruction on H145 airframe, powerplant, rotor, transmission, hydraulic, fuel, flight control, landing gear, servicing, and mechanical systems.

• Supervise technicians during OJT activities and practical maintenance training.
• Evaluate trainee performance and verify practical competence against approved training objectives.
• Develop teaching aids, including presentations, charts, diagrams, handouts, practical exercises, technical notes, and training slides.
• Coordinate training schedules, classroom sessions, hangar-based training, aircraft access, tooling needs, and trainee availability.
• Maintain accurate training records in line with customer policies, project requirements, and aviation training standards.
• Ensure all training content is aligned with approved H145 maintenance manuals, OEM documentation, safety standards, quality procedures, and regulatory requirements.
• Train personnel on the correct use of AMM, IPC, CMM, WDM, service bulletins, technical instructions, work cards, and maintenance records.
• Support standardization of maintenance practices across the B1 mechanical team.
• Promote safe working practices, FOD prevention, human factors awareness, tool control, documentation accuracy, and maintenance discipline.
• Coordinate with maintenance supervisors, quality control, training management, and customer representatives on trainee progress and training needs.
• Support preparation, review, and improvement of technical training material, work instructions, and maintenance-related documentation.
• Provide feedback on technician capability gaps and recommend additional training or mentoring actions.
