Job Description


It’s your career, give it wings!

Who we are and where we are going: 

Ascent Aviation Services is one of the largest aviation maintenance, repair, overhaul, storage and reclamation operations in the world. Our strength comes from our talented and professional employees who excel through teamwork and enthusiasm. Ascent Aviation Services continues to grow and are continually looking for motivated and career minded aviation professionals who will support our vision and goals.

Join Our Team as a Quality Assurance Auditor! At Ascent, we operate in a complex, multi-authority environment — holding approvals from the FAA, EASA, TCCA, and other global regulators. Our success depends on professionals who can navigate these standards with skill, integrity, and curiosity, while embodying our core values of respect, safety, quality, and results. Guided by these principles, you’ll help uphold the highest standards that keep our operations running smoothly and securely.

If you’re an aviation quality professional who thrives in dynamic environments and enjoys turning compliance into capability, we’d like to meet you. The Quality Assurance Auditor plays a key role in maintaining Ascent’s commitment to safety, compliance, and continual improvement. You’ll plan, perform, and report audits across departments, vendors, and maintenance programs — ensuring conformance to FAA and foreign authority requirements, customer standards, and company procedures. This position is ideal for a detail-oriented, systems-minded professional who understands both the technical and organizational sides of quality assurance.

We are actively interviewing now, with hiring to begin after the first of the year.

As a 24/7 operation, we have openings across all shifts, including days, evenings, weekends, and 12-hour schedules. Candidates must be flexible and willing to work any shift based on operational needs. Some schedules may qualify for shift differential. Overtime—both scheduled and unscheduled, including holidays—may also be required.

DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES: 

  • Plan, conduct, and document internal, external, and vendor audits per FAA, foreign air authority, C.A.S.E. 1A, and AS9100 standards, as well as related criteria such as NFPA 10 and NFPA 407.
  • Identify and track findings, issue Corrective Action Requests (CARs), and support effective Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) development.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with internal departments, customers, and regulatory authorities.
  • Perform daily surveillance, Vendor On-Site (VOS), and Work-In-Progress (WIP) audits to ensure ongoing compliance and process health.
  • Analyze audit data for trends, provide metrics, and participate in continuous improvement projects.
  • Conduct supplier audits and verify subcontractor quality system compliance.
  • Support investigations of product or process deficiencies and assist in developing robust corrective actions.
  • Mentor and coach team members to build auditing, analytical, and quality system awareness across the organization.

Who Thrives in This Role

  • Regulatory bridge-builders — fluent in FAA requirements and conversant with foreign air authority expectations.
  • System thinkers — able to connect training, procedures, tools, and human factors into a single quality picture.
  • Strong communicators — clear, factual, and constructive when presenting findings or feedback.
  • Coaches, not cops — driving improvement and accountability through collaboration, not confrontation.
  • Curious professionals — always asking why a deviation occurred, not just what happened.
  • Integrity-driven — trusted by both leadership and technicians to be fair, accurate, and consistent.

YOU WILL GET MORE THAN JUST COMPENSATION:

  • 401K with company match
  • Medical/Dental/Vision Insurance
  • PTO - Eligible for 3 Weeks in Your First Year, in Addition to 7 Paid Company Holidays
  • Company-Provided Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance
  • Development and Career Growth Opportunities

REQUIRED SKILLS/ABILITIES:  

  • Working knowledge of FAA regulations and quality system standards recognized by foreign air authorities.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills with the ability to clearly present findings and expectations.
