BrazilWhat I'm looking for
At Airbus Helicopters Brazil, I support maintenance planning and technical discrepancy management for helicopters in a regulated environment.
I standardize technical documentation and process-improvement initiatives, contributing to a roughly 40% reduction in incorrect parts purchasing. I use Advanced Microsoft Excel and SAP to analyze operational performance, track KPIs, and support engineering decisions.
My aviation experience also includes technical maintenance support with Mercy Air in South Africa and technical documentation management at Asas de Socorro in Brazil. I've worked with multidisciplinary, multicultural teams to maintain aircraft availability, regulatory compliance, and operational readiness.
I'm an Aeronautical Engineer and certified Airframe Aircraft Maintenance Mechanic, with experience spanning Brazil, South Africa, Mozambique, eSwatini, and the United States. I bring structured problem solving, maintenance knowledge, and fluent Portuguese, English, and Spanish to aviation operations.
