Thanks, J***e,this looks like a fantastic match, especially the Day-1 leadership and safety-first culture. Could you share a bit more about the ground-team size and structure I’d be supervising, and what the path to Regional Air Operations Manager typically looks like?


Hi C***e,
Great questions. In a typical field location you’d oversee a ground team of about 8,10 professionals: this includes a senior ramp supervisor, load-control officers, refueling technicians, passenger and cargo handlers, plus rescue & firefighting staff. You’ll have direct reports managing each sub-function, and you’ll coordinate daily briefings, risk assessments and safety drills with them.
As for the path to Regional Air Operations Manager, our structure is designed for clear advancement:
• Year 1,2: You’ll establish operational excellence as Senior Officer, lead improvements across your site, and complete our leadership and safety-management training modules.
• Year 2,3: High performers are invited to take on extra responsibilities,oversight of two to three field sites, budgeting and stakeholder liaison,and you’ll be paired with a current Regional Manager as mentor.
• Beyond: You’ll formally step into the Regional role once you’ve demonstrated strong team results, risk reduction achievements and collaborative leadership across multiple stations.
To keep things moving, could you share the best email or phone number to reach you? If it’s convenient, please also send over your most recent CV so I can share it with our hiring team and set up a follow-up conversation.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Best,
