Quality Assurance Inspector
About The Position
At Jet Aviation, quality is more than a process—it is the foundation of safe, reliable, and exceptional business aviation. As a Quality Assurance Inspector, you will help protect the standards behind every aircraft, customer experience, and maintenance activity we support. In this role, you will provide experienced quality and regulatory oversight across maintenance operations. You will conduct audits and conformity inspections, evaluate processes, review technical documentation, monitor airworthiness compliance, and provide practical guidance to maintenance teams, designees, outsource maintenance providers, and authorized personnel. Your work will help ensure that aircraft maintenance activities are completed accurately, consistently, and in accordance with applicable FAA regulations and Jet Aviation procedures. This is an opportunity for an aviation professional who combines technical judgment with a strong service mindset. You will be trusted to identify areas of concern, communicate them clearly, influence effective remediation, and help teams continuously improve without losing sight of the operational realities of a busy maintenance environment. The position follows a daytime schedule and is structured as a hybrid role, with employees working from the office four days per week. Scheduling details may vary based on departmental needs. The anticipated annual base salary range is between $80,000–$100,000, depending on experience, industry tenure, and location. This position will be based at our Scottsdale, AZ location.
