About us
DC Aviation Ltd is part of the wider DC Aviation group and operates across several aviation approvals in Malta: a business aviation Air Operator Certificate (AOC) issued by the Civil Aviation Directorate (CAD), a ground handling licence, and a Part-145 maintenance organisation approval currently being established. We a manage fleet of five business jets and support operations through international line stations. Ours is a lean operation backed by the resources of a larger group, with functions delivered by a mix of in-house and subcontracted staff — which keeps the structure efficient and gives this role unusually broad exposure.
The role
Reporting to the Accountable Manager [or nominated Safety & Compliance Manager], you will support and help strengthen the safety and compliance management systems that run across the group's aviation approvals — the FBO, the AOC (EASA Part-ORO / Malta CAD) and the Part-145 maintenance organisation now being established. The heart of the role is documentation and compliance structure: keeping the manuals current and well-organised, and helping the nominated persons across departments and line stations stay audit-ready.
This is a full-time position with a deliberately broad remit. Initially you will support the existing structure; as you establish yourself, the intention is for the right person to take the lead on safety and compliance across the FBO, AOC and Part-145 — coordinating subcontracted and in-house support staff and the group's international line stations. For someone who earns it, there is real room to grow into that responsibility over time
Draft, review and maintain the Safety Management Manual (SMM) and Compliance Monitoring Manual (CMM), keeping them current with regulation and operational reality
Coordinate safety and compliance activity across the group's aviation approvals (FBO, AOC and the emerging Part-145) and international line stations, working with subcontracted and in-house support staff.
Support the nominated persons across departments with documentation structure, procedure writing and compliance — helping ensure consistency across the manual suite.
Assist the Compliance Monitoring Programme: audit scheduling, tracking findings and corrective actions, and supporting close-out.
Support the Safety Management System: occurrence and hazard reporting administration, risk assessment records and Safety Review Board material.
Review, strengthen and take ownership of the Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programme and develop safety trend monitoring — building the structure to capture, analyse and act on operational data, and feeding the findings into the SMS
Help prepare documentation for CAD audits, approvals and amendments.
Track relevant EASA and Malta CAD regulatory changes and flag their impact on procedures.
Background in aviation safety, quality, compliance or operations — ideally with an AOC, CAMO, Part-145 or ATO.
Working knowledge of the EASA framework (Part-ORO and Part-CAT and/or Part-NCC)
Genuine ability and appetite for writing and structuring aviation manuals and procedures.
A pragmatic, commercially aware mindset — you understand that a sound safety and compliance function exists to support a viable operation, and you work efficiently within a lean, group-backed structure.
