B1 Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (E190/Q400)

About the role

Sigma Aerospace Workforce is seeking an experienced B1 Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer for an ongoing, permanent, full-time position supporting heavy maintenance operations in Adelaide. The role suits an engineer with an E190 or Q400 type rating and hands-on experience on that aircraft type. About two heavy maintenance projects are undertaken each year, with further requirements expected from mid-2027. Visa sponsorship is available for experienced candidates; preference goes to people already in Australia or close to finishing their CASA licence conversion.

Key responsibilities

• Perform aircraft maintenance within the scope of your B1 licence and applicable authorisations.
• Apply hands-on technical experience to the E190 or Q400 aircraft type.
• Support heavy maintenance activities in line with maintenance procedures and regulatory requirements.
• Work with maintenance teams to keep operations safe, compliant and efficient.
• Maintain maintenance documentation and follow aviation safety standards.

Required profile

• CASA B1 licence, or an overseas licence with CASA conversion already started or nearly complete.
• E190 or Q400 type rating.
• Hands-on maintenance experience on the rated aircraft type (a type rating alone is not enough).
• Commitment to aviation safety, quality and regulatory compliance.
• Ability to work well within a maintenance team.

What we offer

• Permanent, full-time employment on a Monday-to-Friday roster.
• Visa sponsorship available for experienced candidates.
• An opportunity to support heavy maintenance operations in Adelaide, with potential for more work from mid-2027.

To apply, submit your CV through the employer's online application form, including your current licence, type ratings, hands-on experience and CASA conversion status.
