The Aviation Advisor is a critical member of the growing SGS Aviation Compliance team, providing independent aviation safety and compliance expertise to clients operating in complex and high‑risk environments. Supporting both fixed‑wing and rotary‑wing operations, the role primarily serves clients within the Oil, Gas, and Mining sectors. Aviation Advisors contribute directly to strengthening client aviation safety outcomes while upholding and advancing SGS Aviation Compliance standards, credibility, and best‑practice methodology.
The Aviation Advisor delivers aviation safety advice and conducts operational, technical, and compliance audits for SGS Aviation Compliance clients. Acting as a direct liaison with client representatives on aviation matters, Advisors build trusted professional relationships while maintaining objectivity and independence. All work is performed in accordance with SGS Aviation Compliance standards and procedures, ensuring consistency, quality, and alignment across all client engagements.
Advisory support and audit conclusions are based on applicable regulatory requirements and recognized international best practices and are reinforced through robust internal peer review. Aviation Advisors are responsible for planning and executing audits, including Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) audits, producing high‑quality audit reports, and supporting clients with corrective action planning and closure of audit findings. Strong project management, report writing, and time‑management skills are essential to manage multiple engagements and follow up effectively with audit clients.
The role requires substantial aviation operational experience, including flight and operational exposure to fixed‑wing and/or rotary‑wing aircraft, as well as proven experience within Oil, Gas, and Mining environments. Aviation Advisors must combine practical operational insight with strong analytical and communication skills, enabling them to deliver pragmatic, value‑adding advice while contributing to the continued growth and capability of the SGS Aviation Compliance practice.
