Avionics defects on this kind of operation are rarely the textbook ones - they are intermittent, weather-related, humidity-related and frequently sit in the wiring rather than the box. You will be expected to find them properly rather than clear them by rotation of line replaceable units.\nIt will suit a B2 engineer who wants genuine fault-finding work and full certifying responsibility, rather than remove-and-replace within a narrow scope.\nWhat You Will Be Doing\nCarrying out and certifying scheduled and unscheduled line and base maintenance on avionic and electrical systems, within the privileges of your licence and type ratings.\nIssuing Certificates of Release to Service for avionic and electrical work in accordance with regulatory requirements and company authorisations.\nFault-finding and rectifying defects across autoflight, communications and navigation, electrical power generation and distribution, indicating and recording, lighting, fire protection and warning systems.\nTroubleshooting aircraft wiring, bonding, connectors and looms, including intermittent faults driven by moisture, vibration and heat.\nCarrying out functional and operational testing of avionic systems following installation, repair or modification.\nSupporting the electrical elements of flight controls, landing gear and other mechanical systems in conjunction with B1 colleagues.\nEmbodying Airworthiness Directives, Service Bulletins, Engineering Orders and avionic modifications against current approved data.\nProviding technical support during AOG, defect rectification and operational recovery, including out of hours where the operation requires it.\nCompleting accurate technical records, worksheets and defect reports, and closing defects with a real rectification rather than a repeat deferral.\nContributing avionics input to reliability monitoring and repeat-defect investigation.\nWorking closely with Maintenance Watch, Continuing Airworthiness, Planning, Technical Services, Stores and external avionics repair vendors.\nSupervising and mentoring unlicensed engineers, technicians and apprentices, and building local avionics capability.\nMaintaining compliance with company maintenance procedures and the Engineering Quality and Safety Management Systems.\nEssential Requirements\nApplications will not progress without these.\nA current and valid Category B2 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence - CASA PNG, or a CASA Australia, EASA, FAA or NZCAA licence that can be validated or converted to CASA PNG requirements.\nDemonstrated experience certifying avionic and electrical maintenance on commercial transport aircraft.\nPractical wiring and schematic fault-finding capability - the ability to work a fault through wiring diagrams to root cause.\nSound working knowledge of continuing airworthiness requirements, approved maintenance data and maintenance organisation procedures.\nFitness to work in a physically demanding hangar and line environment, and the ability to hold the required medical and security clearances.\nWillingness to relocate to Port Moresby on a residential, unaccompanied basis.\nHighly Regarded\n Type ratings on ATR 72 and/or DHC-8 (Dash 8). Current turboprop type experience is the single strongest differentiator for this role.\nExperience across both glass cockpit and legacy analogue fits, including EFIS, autoflight and flight guidance systems.\nHands-on experience with communications and navigation systems, weather radar, TCAS, EGPWS, transponders and ADS-B.\nExperience with avionics test equipment and the interpretation of built-in test and fault history data.\nFamiliarity with computerised maintenance tracking or maintenance management systems.\nPrevious work in remote, regional or emerging-market aviation environments, where vendor support and spares availability are less predictable.\nExperience developing local avionics staff and building type capability within a team.\nThe Person We Are Looking For\nA systematic fault-finder. Comfortable being the person who chases an intermittent fault to root cause instead of deferring it again.\nMethodical and calm under AOG or operational pressure, and prepared to make airworthiness decisions within licence privileges without being pushed past them.\nMeticulous with documentation. In this environment the technical record is the only evidence the work was done properly.\nPractical and self-sufficient, and able to work a problem through when vendor support is not immediately available.\nAn effective communicator in a multicultural workplace, and genuinely willing to teach.\nFlexible about shift work and shifting maintenance priorities where the operation requires it.\nLiving and Working in Papua New Guinea\nPort Moresby is a rewarding but demanding posting. Expatriate engineering staff typically live in secure accommodation with structured transport arrangements, and the working environment carries security, health and logistics considerations that are managed but should not be underestimated.\nThis position is offered on an unaccompanied basis. It is not suited to relocation with dependants, and we would rather be straightforward about that now than have anyone make plans on the wrong assumption.\nRemuneration, roster, leave and travel entitlements are set by the operator and will be confirmed with shortlisted candidates during screening. We do not quote figures we have not had confirmed.\nHow to Apply\nApply with a current CV that clearly sets out your licence category, issuing authority, aircraft type ratings and certifying experience. Applications that do not show licence and type detail are difficult to assess and will usually be held rather than progressed.\nShortlisted candidates will be asked to provide licence documentation, type rating evidence and logbook extracts, and to confirm notice period, citizenship and residency, police clearance and medical fitness.\nReferrals and confidential enquiries are welcome and can be directed to Cakum Global.\nCakum Global - People for Challenging Environments.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6408,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Guinea","iso":"GN","kind":"country"},{"name":"Papua New Guinea","iso":"PG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Aircraft Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T06:52:31Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.815,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:0","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cakumglobal-licensed-aircraft-maintenance-engineer-b2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cakumglobal-licensed-aircraft-maintenance-engineer-b2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T04:19:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5669,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4423217},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4423217"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcakumglobal-licensed-aircraft-maintenance-engineer-b2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcakumglobal-licensed-aircraft-maintenance-engineer-b2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcakumglobal-licensed-aircraft-maintenance-engineer-b2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cakumglobal-licensed-aircraft-maintenance-engineer-b2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcakumglobal-licensed-aircraft-maintenance-engineer-b2"}]}
