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. Are you passionate about setting the standard for cabin excellence and driving airworthiness in one of the world's most ambitious airline start-ups? You will serve as the engineering focal for the safety, airworthiness, reliability, serviceability, availability, and appearance of our cabin furniture, functions, and payload systems across the fleet. In this role, you will lead a team of subject matter experts and take ownership of the technical standards that keep our cabins compliant, reliable, and beautifully presented, from the review and implementation of Airworthiness Directives, Service Bulletins, and Supplemental Type Certificates to fleet configuration management and change control. You will collaborate with internal business functions, OEMs, suppliers, and regulatory bodies to ensure continued airworthiness in full compliance with GACA regulations and the highest industry standards. You can expect to establish and govern safety and technical standards, develop modification business cases with cost-benefit analysis and downtime planning, drive continuous improvement alongside Reliability and AMP, and build and mentor a cohesive Cabin and Payloads Systems team, all while maintaining a strong focus on operational excellence, business continuity, and 24/7 support. This is a critical role where your leadership will directly enhance guest experience, fleet performance, and Riyadh Air's ambition to be one of the world's leading premium airline brands. Degree qualified in Mechanical, Electrical, or Electronics Engineering, an Aviation discipline, or holding an aircraft engineer's type rating, you will demonstrate a minimum of 7 years' experience in aviation continuing airworthiness management (CAMO), engineering, or technical services within a commercial airline environment. You are expected to bring extensive experience in cabin interiors and configuration management, including seats, monuments, interior furnishings, non-equipment furnishings, galleys, and cabin systems, with a sound understanding of airworthiness, reliability, and fleet support requirements. You will also bring proven experience interfacing with line maintenance, base maintenance, and workshop functions, alongside demonstrated leadership of multi-national engineering teams, OEMs, and technical consultants to deliver successful operational and business outcomes. We'd love to hear from you even more if you possess a degree in management, Boeing 787 and/or Airbus A321 type training, and hands-on familiarity with GACA regulatory frameworks, DOA PART-21, PMA evaluation, and cabin product innovation forums.
