Canada is entering a new era of military aircrew training, with SkyAlyne selected by the Government of Canada as the contractor for the Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) Program.
KF Aerospace, a proudly Canadian company and founding partner in SkyAlyne, plays a critical role in ensuring the airworthiness of five new fleets of training aircraft for the 25+ year program.
We are seeking experienced aerospace engineers today, particularly those transitioning from the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), to join us in this pivotal role as Aircraft Fleet Engineers for FAcT.
This is more than just an engineering job—it's an opportunity to shape the future of Canada's Air Force
Start from the Ground Up
Imagine being at the forefront of a groundbreaking new program that is set to redefine aircrew training for Canada's Air Force. Your expertise will help drive the development
and execution of a training program that will prepare the next generation of RCAF pilots, Air Combat Systems Operators, and Airborne Electronic Sensor Operators. This is a unique opportunity to have a lasting impact on military aviation in Canada and globally.
Your Work is Instrumental
The success of the FAcT Program relies heavily on the skills and dedication of its aerospace
engineers. Your work will be crucial in managing airworthiness clearances and addressing fleet technical issues, directly influencing the operational readiness of one of the RCAF’s most vital programs. This role demands both technical proficiency and a strong commitment to excellence.
Work on State-of-the-Art Aircraft
One of the most exciting aspects of the FAcT Program is the chance to work on the RCAF's new fleet of training aircraft. The Grob 120TP, Pilatus PC-21, Beechcraft/Textron King Air 260, DeHavilland Dash-8-400, and Airbus H-135 Helicopter will form the backbone of FAcT, stationed at training bases in Moose Jaw, Southport, and Winnipeg. You’ll be based
in SkyAlyne’s Ottawa Joint Management Office, collaborating with the Department of National Defence and RCAF personnel to ensure program success. Whether handling risk management, configuration management, or technical problem resolution, you’ll apply your skills to some of the most advanced training aircraft in the world.
Competitive Compensation and Benefits
At KF Aerospace, we recognize the challenges of transitioning from military to civilian life. That’s why we offer competitive compensation and benefits to ease this transition. As part of the FAcT Program, you’ll enjoy a rewarding career with flexibility and a supportive team. Based in Ottawa, this role provides the perfect balance of professional challenge and
personal well-being, with comprehensive benefits including health and dental coverage, pension matching, and relocation assistance for you and your family if you’re moving to Ottawa.
Be a Part of History
Canada’s military aircrew training has a storied history of excellence, and the FAcT Program is set to continue this legacy, especially as the Royal Canadian Air Force celebrates its 100th
anniversary. By joining KF Aerospace and the SkyAlyne team, you’ll play a vital role in writing
the next chapter of this proud history.
If you’re a retiring CAF aerospace engineer looking for your next challenge, the FAcT
Program with KF Aerospace and SkyAlyne offers a unique opportunity to continue serving your country in a meaningful and impactful way.
Join us in shaping the future of Canada's Air Force—apply today and be part of something
truly extraordinary.
