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.

Are you a quality-driven aviation professional who thrives on precision, compliance, and operational integrity?

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that all aircraft materials, components, and parts used in maintenance and operational activities meet approved quality, airworthiness, and regulatory requirements.

You will conduct advanced inspections, verify technical and regulatory documentation, and ensure only compliant materials are released for use across the operation.

All while performing detailed visual and physical inspections, detecting defects or discrepancies, and escalating non‑conformities to prevent the release of unapproved or non‑compliant material.

This role will see you applying approved inspection methodologies, including hidden inspections, and supporting the identification and reporting of suspected unapproved parts (SUPs).

Compliance and control are central to the role.

Operating fully in line with GACA, OEM, and internal regulatory requirements, maintaining accurate inspection records, and ensuring system updates within AMOS reflect inspection status, acceptance or rejection decisions, and material location.

Working closely with Procurement, Logistics, Maintenance, and Quality teams, you will help resolve inspection findings, documentation discrepancies, and material issues impacting operational timelines.

You will also contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and provide technical guidance to junior inspectors to ensure consistent application of inspection standards and best practices.

*This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a high‑growth airline by strengthening material integrity, inspection effectiveness, and regulatory compliance at scale.*

Degree qualified, you will bring a minimum of 4 years’ experience as a Materials Inspector within an airline or aviation environment.

You must possess strong working knowledge of aviation regulations, airworthiness requirements, and quality standards, including familiarity with ATA Spec 300.

Paired with proven experience performing material inspections, reviewing certificates and traceability documentation, and maintaining accurate records within MRO systems such as AMOS.

We'd love to hear from you even more if you will be confident operating independently while collaborating effectively across technical and operational teams.

This is your opportunity to shape the future of air travel.
