About the Company

About the Role

Do you thrive on precision, problem-solving, and keeping complex operations running seamlessly?

 

Join us to lead the strategic planning and day-to-day execution of pilot scheduling and resource allocation. In this pivotal role, you'll design the intricate frameworks that ensure every flight has qualified, legal, and well-rested pilots by balancing GACA regulatory compliance, operational efficiency and international aviation standards. 

 

You’ll design optimised pairings, develop compliant rosters, and plan training schedules in coordination with Flight Operations, Training, and OCC teams. Your work will help balance operational efficiency, pilot wellbeing, apply advanced fatigue risk management principles,  and regulatory compliance while supporting the smooth continuity of flight operations.

 

Critical to your success is the close collaboration with Network Planning and Scheduling to evaluate flight schedule impacts on crew resources, identify operational risks before they materialise, and design mitigation strategies that minimise disruption-related delays.

 

As a subject matter expert, you’ll also contribute to long-term manpower forecasting, system enhancements, and process improvement initiatives across the airline’s planning function. Further, you will develop and manage both long-term and short-term Flight Crew recurrent training programs in collaboration with the Training Department.

 

Be the force behind flawless operations, where every flight begins with your plan!
