About the Company
Riyadh Air (RX), headquartered in the Saudi Capital, is the new national airline that’s shaping the future of flying. It seeks to lead the aviation industry by transforming Saudi Arabia into a global aviation and trade hub – a digitally native airline that will connect the kingdom to more than 100 destinations.
About the Role
Are you passionate about embedding a safety-first culture across engineering and maintenance operations?
As Manager - Engineering & Maintenance Safety, you will be responsible for the effective implementation of safety investigations, hazard identification, and monitoring programs across Riyadh Air’s Engineering & Maintenance functions. Reporting to the Director of Safety, you will ensure that all maintenance activities meet the highest safety standards and comply with GACAR regulations and international best practices.
In this role, you will lead the investigation of serious safety events, oversee the administration of the occurrence reporting system, and manage safety inspections and audits. You will facilitate risk assessments and management of change processes within the Safety Management System (SMS), while working closely with internal teams to ensure safety events are fully documented and addressed. Your role will also include collaborating with regulators, guiding the Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) program, and advising on safety promotion initiatives to strengthen awareness and accountability across the organization.
This is a pivotal role where your leadership, technical expertise, and ability to influence change will have a direct impact on the safety performance and operational reliability of Riyadh Air.
About You
Degree qualified in engineering, safety, or aviation, you will bring at least five years of experience in an airline safety function, including hands-on involvement in safety investigations and demonstrated strength in report writing within Engineering & Maintenance environments. You will hold a B1 or B2 Aircraft Maintenance License and will have completed formal training in accident investigation or a recognized safety investigation qualification.
You are expected to have a strong grasp of GACAR regulations and international safety frameworks, combined with experience in hazard identification, change management, and risk assessment. Proficiency in safety management systems, together with the ability to engage effectively with both technical and regulatory stakeholders, will be essential to your success. Fluency in English is required, while Arabic or additional languages will be an advantage.
We would love to hear from you even more if you bring experience managing Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programs, advanced skills in performance and project management, and the ability to promote safety culture in multicultural environments. A proven record of collaboration, trust-building, and the ability to communicate complex findings with clarity will make you an ideal fit for this critical role.
This is your chance to be at the forefront of engineering and maintenance safety in one of the world’s most ambitious new airlines. If you are driven by a commitment to safety, precision, and continuous improvement, we invite you to bring your expertise and help shape Riyadh Air’s future.
Creating a successful CV (curriculum vitae) is crucial when applying for jobs or opportunities. A well-crafted CV can greatly increase your chances of landing interviews and ultimately securing the desired position. Here are some important facts to consider when creating a successful CV:
Clear and Concise Format: Keep your CV well-organized and easy to read. Use clear headings, bullet points, and a consistent font style and size. Limit your CV to 1-2 pages, especially if you're early in your career.
Contact Information: Include your full name, phone number, email address, and location (city and state/country). Make sure your contact information is up to date.
Personal Statement or Objective: A brief summary at the beginning of your CV can highlight your career goals and what you bring to the table. Tailor it to the specific job you're applying for.
Professional Experience: List your work history in reverse chronological order (most recent job first). Include the company name, your job title, dates of employment, and a description of your responsibilities and achievements. Use action verbs to showcase your accomplishments.
Education: Include your educational background, including degrees earned, institutions attended, graduation dates, and relevant coursework or honors. If you're a recent graduate, your education section may come before your work experience.
Skills: Highlight your relevant skills, both technical (e.g., programming languages, software tools) and soft (e.g., communication, leadership). Tailor your skills to match the requirements of the job.
Achievements and Accomplishments: Showcase specific achievements, such as awards, publications, projects, or certifications, that are relevant to the job you're applying for.
Keywords: Incorporate keywords from the job description into your CV. Many employers use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to screen CVs, and using relevant keywords can help your CV get noticed.
Quantify Achievements: Whenever possible, use metrics and numbers to quantify your achievements. For example, "Increased sales by 25% in Q4 2022" is more impactful than simply saying you improved sales.
Tailoring: Customize your CV for each job application. Highlight the experiences and skills most relevant to the specific role you're applying for.
Professional Appearance: Use a clean and professional layout. Avoid using overly creative fonts, colors, or graphics that might distract from the content.
Proofreading: Thoroughly proofread your CV to eliminate typos, grammatical errors, and inconsistencies. Consider asking a friend or mentor to review it as well.
References: You can include references or indicate that they are available upon request. However, it's generally not necessary to provide references on your CV unless explicitly asked.
Honesty: Be truthful in your CV. Exaggerating or providing false information can damage your credibility and chances of getting the job.
Continuous Updating: Regularly update your CV as you gain new experiences, skills, or achievements. This will ensure that you have an up-to-date document ready for any opportunity.
Remember, your CV is often the first impression employers have of you, so make sure it effectively showcases your qualifications, experiences, and potential contributions to the organization.
