Job Description

Director of Engineering Vietjet Thailand is scaling one of the fastest-growing airlines in the region, and we're looking for a Director of Engineering to lead the function that keeps every one of those aircraft airworthy, compliant, and ready to fly. This is a newly defined role: Engineering now stands as its own director-level function alongside Maintenance, both reporting directly to the VP Operations, giving you a clear mandate to build out Engineering's policies, systems, and team without the operational load of day-to-day maintenance.

What You'll Do

Direct the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of maintenance policies, procedures, and systems across the Engineering Department. Lead the Deputy Director, Engineering and the Managers of Engineering Finance, Technical Quality Control, Technical Service, and Maintenance Planning. Own budget and resourcing decisions for Engineering's cost centers, ensuring adequate manpower, equipment, materials, and finance are in place. Report deficiencies in standards, finance, or departmental performance directly to the Accountable Manager. Define clear accountability across Engineering's sub-departments so every manager owns their performance outcomes. Coordinate with the Director of Maintenance and other Division Heads on cross-functional airworthiness and resourcing matters. Serve as the internal authority on continuing airworthiness for the Company's aircraft, engines, avionics, and related equipment. What We're Looking For Required: Engineering degree (Aerospace, Aeronautical, Industrial, Avionics, or Mechanical), or an Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT) license with Airframe and Powerplant ratings, or equivalent education acceptable to the Authority. 8-10 years of experience in an aircraft maintenance program in commercial aviation, including at least 5 years maintaining the same or a higher category and class of aircraft the Company operates. Experience leading a team of senior managers and junior staff, with strong collaboration skills, tact, and diplomacy. Working knowledge of the Airbus A320, Boeing 737-8 family and CFM56-5B engine systems. Preferred: Prior experience operating as part of a split Engineering/Maintenance leadership structure, or standing up a new engineering function. Familiarity with CAAT (Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) regulatory requirements and OEM relationships (Airbus, Boeing, CFM).
