About Aurelius

Who we are

Aurelius Aviation Management manages the appearance of private, corporate and business aircraft. Owners and flight departments hand us aircraft worth millions of dollars and expect them returned in a condition that reflects that value — every time, without supervision and without excuses.

What this role is not

This is not a wash bay. It is not a cleaning job. It is not an apprenticeship, a trainee position, or a place to learn the trade on someone else's aircraft. If you want to be told your work is fine when it isn't, apply somewhere else.

What this role is

Skilled surface-care work performed to a documented standard on aircraft where mistakes are expensive, visible and permanent. If you're the kind of person who reworks a panel because you caught a swirl mark nobody else would have seen, keep reading.

Experience and TrainingWhat you must already have

Proven, hands-on aircraft appearance experience. You must arrive fully trained and able to work on a live aircraft without instruction on day one. We expect you to already know:

• Approved and prohibited products and processes on aircraft surfaces
• Correct technique around control surfaces, static ports, pitot tubes, antennas, probes, seals and composite panels
• Machine polishing, paint correction and coating application on aircraft paint
• Brightwork and metal polishing to a mirror standard
• Aircraft interior materials, including certified leathers, cabinetry finishes and cabin flooring
• Safe conduct in a hangar and on an active ramp

What we do not provide

Trade training. We will orient you to Aurelius procedures, checklists, documentation and inspection standards — that is not the same as teaching you the work. You must be able to perform every service below at full standard from your first shift.

Site-required safety and security training

You are responsible for holding, obtaining and maintaining any airport identification, security clearance and site-mandated safety certification required at your assigned locations.

Scope of Work

You are expected to perform every service we sell, to standard, on your own. Not a portion of it. Not the parts you enjoy. There is no "I only do interiors" here.

Much of this work happens the night before a client boards. There is no second attempt and no one coming behind you to fix it. When you sign off on an aircraft, that is your name on it.

The Aurelius Standard

Quality control

Every aircraft is inspected before release. Nothing goes out unchecked. Deficiencies found at inspection are corrected before the aircraft is released.

Checklists

You work from Aurelius checklists on every job, every time. Checklists are not suggestions, and they are not filled in afterwards from memory.

Documentation

Pre-service and post-service documentation is mandatory. Missing documentation is treated as work not performed.

Damage reporting

Pre-existing damage is reported before you touch the aircraft. Damage or contact you cause is reported immediately. Concealing it ends your employment.

Product and equipment accountability

Chemicals, pads, machines and consumables are tracked and are your responsibility.

Aircraft-specific restrictions

Restrictions are absolute. There is no improvising with products, pads or procedures on a certified aircraft.

Performance and Accountability

First 90 days

Formal review against documented quality-control results — not effort, not attitude, not hours logged.

Ongoing

Continuous review against the same measures. Rate movement and advancement follow inspection results.

This job is not for you if

• You are still learning the trade
• You need someone standing over you to work at full standard
• You take quality-control feedback personally
• You cut corners when you're tired, behind schedule, or think no one will check
• You'd rather be fast than correct
• You're unreliable with start times or availability
• You'd repeat what you saw in a client's cabin

Who We're Looking ForTechnical ability

• Demonstrated proficiency in machine polishing, paint correction and coating application on aircraft
• Obsessive attention to finishes, edges and transitions
• Consistent results across large surfaces

Work character

• Reliability that doesn't fluctuate with the schedule
• The ability to work unsupervised and hold your own standard
• Composure under time pressure on departure-critical work

Conduct and discretion

• Complete professionalism around owners, clients, flight crews and airport personnel
• Absolute confidentiality. You will see aircraft, clients and personal effects that are never discussed outside the company.

Requirements

Mandatory

• Documented professional aircraft detailing or aircraft appearance experience
• Ability to perform all listed services unsupervised, to standard, from day one
• Valid driver's licence and reliable transportation
• Legally eligible to work in Canada
• Able to meet and maintain applicable airport and facility security requirements

Physical demands

• Sustained hands-on detailing work, including extended standing, bending, kneeling and reaching overhead
• Lifting up to 70 lb
• Work in hangars, on ramps, indoors and outdoors, in varying conditions

Preferred

• Experience across multiple aircraft types, including business jets
• Brightwork and unpainted-metal polishing experience
• Ceramic coating certification
• Prior airside or aviation ground operations experience
• Supervisory or quality-control experience

What to Include With Your Application

• Aircraft types you have personally worked on
• The correction, polishing and coating work you have performed and the products you have used
• Photos of your work, if you have them
• A reference who can confirm your aircraft experience

Applications without demonstrable aircraft experience will not be considered.

Schedule

Private aviation does not run 9-to-5. Assignments may fall during daytime, evening, early-morning or weekend hours depending on aircraft availability. We schedule as far ahead as operations allow, and short-notice work is part of the role.

How your rate is set

By demonstrated ability, not years served. Advanced paint correction, brightwork polishing, coating application and supervisory experience place you toward the top of the range from day one.

Career Progression

We are building an aircraft appearance management company for the long term, which means the people who hold the standard move up:

• Senior Aircraft Appearance Specialist
• Aircraft Appearance Team Lead
• Quality Control Specialist
• Mobile Operations Lead
• Aircraft Appearance Supervisor

These positions will be filled from inside.

Apply

Every aircraft leaves our care looking deliberately prepared — not simply cleaned. If that standard sounds like pressure, this isn't your job. If it sounds like the reason to come to work, apply.

Pay: $2,000.00-$5,000.00 per week
