Bond OpCo, LLC • Fort Lauderdale, FL

3d • Onsite

About The Position

BOND is hiring an on-site Return-to-Service Inspector in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The role ensures that aircraft maintained by Bombardier and approved vendors do not return to service until their maintenance records and return-to-service packages are complete and meet BOND’s General Maintenance Manual standards. This is a records and compliance position, not a hands-on maintenance or inspection role. The inspector maintains accurate, audit-ready aircraft records and supports regulatory and vendor audits.

Requirements

• Current FAA A&P certificate.
• At least 5 years of business-jet maintenance experience, including at least 2 years in records, quality, or return-to-service review under Part 135 or Part 145.
• Working knowledge of a General Maintenance Manual (GMM), a CAMP inspection program, and airworthiness release requirements under §135.443 and recording requirements under §43.9 / §43.11.
• Fluency with AD/SB compliance, life-limited items, 8130-3 traceability, Form 337, weight and balance, and logbook reconciliation.
• Ability to read OEM technical data, including AMM, IPC, and SRM.
• Clear, concise writing skills.
• Ability to travel 10–20%, including to Montreal.
• Ability to pass a background check and DOT pre-employment drug and alcohol test, and remain in the random testing program.

Nice To Haves

• Bombardier Global or Challenger experience, ideally with OEM training.
• FAA Inspection Authorization (IA) and recent return-to-service sign-off experience.
• Experience assembling Part 135 conformity or aircraft-addition packages.
• CAMP Systems experience; familiarity with ARGUS, Wyvern, and IS-BAO audit standards.

Responsibilities

• Own the return-to-service package for each maintenance event, including work orders, task cards, ADs, 8130-3s, 337s, and logbook release entries.
• Keep aircraft out of service until the return-to-service package is complete, and promptly communicate specific schedule risks to the Chief Inspector and Maintenance Control.
• Build the records portion of new-aircraft conformity packages for submission to the FAA.
• Verify that release signers and RII inspectors have the required BOND authorizations and keep authorization files current.
• Maintain accurate, audit-ready records in CAMP, the AFML, and aircraft records for FAA, ARGUS, and Wyvern audits.
• Compile records supporting Service Difficulty Reports and Mechanical Interruption Summaries.
• Support vendor audits and report discrepancies and trends the same day.

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
• Performance-based bonus eligibility (role dependent).
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance with supplemental coverage options.
• Company-paid life insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off and company holidays for eligible roles.
