  Minimum 5 years of hands‑on maintenance experience on the specified types.
• Mobility:
  High flexibility for frequent travel and short‑term assignments across Africa and the Middle East.
• Language:
  Proficiency in English (technical and spoken). French is a significant advantage for West African operations.

• Experience with mission‑specific equipment and proven ability to work independently in remote or austere environments.

• Resilient – thrives in high‑pressure environments and can solve complex technical problems with limited local infrastructure.
• Adaptable – culturally sensitive and comfortable moving between different countries and customer environments.
• Autonomous – possesses a can‑do attitude and can make sound technical decisions in the field.
