    Job Description

    Do you want to be a part of a team of aviation innovators who are helping change the industry landscape?

    Our client is the world's only producer of NEW FAA and EASA-certified open cockpit and enclosed sport biplanes, FAA Production Certificate holder. In 1919, the company was founded on the passion and innovation of five aviators. It was the love of flight and daring tenacity that led them to produce over 60 different aircraft models in only 28 years – making them the leading aircraft manufacturer during the Golden Age of Aviation. The love of flight runs through the DNA of each aviator. It began over one hundred years ago and is carried through generations of those bold enough to climb into the skies. Understanding this lifeline is crucial for the experienced aviator and even the novice. That's why the appeal of vintage aircraft continues to grow even as modern aircraft advance. Their vision is to share their passion for creating unique aircraft with the world with the mission of being the leader in building handcrafted airplanes that provide the ultimate sense of adventure.
