Mechanical & Avionics | Global Mission Aviation
If you’re an experinced Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer who loves precision, problem-solving, and aircraft that must perform in tough environments… we’d love to talk to you. We’re looking for experinced engineers who are excited to pass on skills, build capability, and help national teams grow strong and independent.
At Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), every aircraft we maintain is part of a bigger story—serving remote communities where aviation is often the only lifeline.
Our aircraft operate in some of the most demanding environments in the world. Safety isn’t just important—it’s everything. We operate mainly single-engine turbine and piston aircraft, where attention to detail and deep technical expertise matter every day.
But just as important as keeping aircraft flying… is helping others learn to do the same.
We’re looking for LAMEs who don’t just fix aircraft, but who also:
Your legacy won’t just be safe aircraft—it will be skilled people who can carry the work forward long after you’ve left the Programme.
We currently have vacancies in Papua New Guinea (x2), Bougainville, Arnhem Land, Timor-Leste, & Guinea.
In the hangar, our typical days usually involve inspections. Much of our work is preventative so by carrying out inspections every 100 or 200 operational hours, we are able to catch most things before they become problems. Field repairs for the occasional break down in remote locations can provide interesting logistics and problem solving challenges that add to the variety in this amazing role. In some of our larger facilities, we’re also able to take on some bigger projects too, that might involve delving into parts of an aircraft not normally opened, to replace entire avionics systems, or stripping all of the paint off an aircraft to carry out structural repairs then repaint in our new colour scheme.
*NOTE: You will need to be able to obtain appropriate work permits for the country the position is based in*

Mission Aviation Fellowship was founded in 1945 by a group of WWII pilots who had a vision for how aviation could be used to help spread the Gospel.
Since those early days, we have been an indispensable partner and servant to some 500 Christian organizations, humanitarian agencies, and more. We enable and maximize evangelism and church nurturing, medical assistance, disaster response, and community development, as well as the training and development of indigenous people.
Using aviation, we desire to see isolated people changed by the love of Christ by serving together to bring help, hope, and healing. We meet the physical and spiritual needs of isolated people in 42 countries throughout Asia, Africa, Eurasia and Latin America, operating a fleet of 47 light aircraft. Dedicated missionary families raise their own ministry support to serve as the hands and feet of Christ to those in need.
