Managing Director - MRO

A specialist aviation MRO business supporting commercial aircraft operators is seeking a Managing Director to lead the next phase of growth for its Dublin operation.

The business is looking for a commercially minded leader capable of scaling a regulated aviation environment while building high performing teams, strengthening customer relationships, and driving long term strategic growth.



Key Responsibilities

* Lead overall site operations with full accountability for performance, culture, and strategic direction

* Own site P&L, budgeting, forecasting, and operational KPIs

* Drive business growth through customer engagement, commercial strategy, and capability expansion

* Lead workforce planning, succession planning, and organisational development initiatives

* Ensure full compliance across aviation regulatory and quality frameworks including FAA and EASA environments

* Oversee operational excellence, continuous improvement, and risk mitigation across the site

* Build strong relationships internally across a matrix organisation and externally with customers, regulators, and industry partners

* Champion a people first leadership culture built around trust, accountability, collaboration, and long term employee engagement



What They Are Looking For

* Senior leadership experience within aviation MRO, aerospace services, airline engineering, or a highly regulated technical environment

* Strong commercial and financial acumen with previous P&L responsibility

* Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams in a complex operational setting

* Experience scaling operations, developing teams, and driving strategic growth initiatives

* Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills

* A leadership style that balances commercial performance with culture, employee development, and long term organisational stability



Why This Opportunity Stands Out

* Rare opportunity to inherit an established operation with significant projected growth

* Executive level visibility and influence within a global aerospace organisation

* Long term strategic investment into the Dublin operation

* Opportunity to shape the future direction of a specialised aviation business unit

* Supported transition from the current Managing Director to ensure continuity and long term success

Package includes highly competitive base salary, bonus structure, pension, healthcare, and relocation support where required.
