Maintenance Controller

The Maintenance Controller operates at the tactical forefront of the CAMO department, focusing on the immediate 0 to 3 month execution window. Reporting directly to the Fleet Manager, this role is critical in bridging the gap between technical airworthiness planning, commercial administration, and physical maintenance execution.

The primary responsibility is to take receipt of approved work orders from the Part-CAMO team and allocate this demand to either internal hangar facilities via the Production Planner or external third-party Part-145 providers. This requires meticulous coordination to ensure seamless tactical deconfliction and continuous aircraft availability.

Furthermore, the Maintenance Controller acts as the lead response coordinator for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) events, manages commercial processing including purchase requests for external third party MRO support and places CAMO work orders with either the 3rd party provider or DEA’s own MRO as required. The maintenance controllers also provide the administrative capacity to maintain KPIs and other standard reporting systems to manage the department.
