As a Compliance Auditor, you’ll play a key role in supporting the Compliance Monitoring Manager (CMM) in delivering a robust compliance monitoring programme across Flight Operations, Ground Operations, Crew Training, ATO, and CAMO. You’ll lead audits, develop checklists, monitor findings, and contribute to continuous improvement in our compliance systems.

  • Lead and support audits across aviation functions, ensuring compliance with UK CAA and other regulatory bodies.
  • Develop and maintain audit checklists and documentation aligned with UK Reg 965/2012, 1178/2011, and CAP 632.
  • Manage audit programmes, produce reports, and track findings through to resolution.
  • Deliver internal training on auditing techniques and compliance principles.
  • Liaise with internal stakeholders and external auditors to maintain transparency and readiness.
  • Support compliance documentation for current operations and future bids.
  • Manage compliance tools including AQD, Q-Pulse, and SharePoint.

  • Aviation industry experience, ideally in defence or special mission operations.
  • Strong knowledge of UK CAA, ICAO, and relevant aviation regulations.
  • Experience conducting audits in regulated environments.
  • Familiarity with Safety Management Systems (SMS) and Compliance Monitoring Systems (CMS).


Skills & Attributes:

  • Confident, resilient, and able to work independently.
  • Excellent communication and analytical skills.
  • Strong IT proficiency and adaptability to new systems.
  • Organised, deadline-driven, and a collaborative team player.
  • High integrity and professionalism.
  • Eligible for SC Level security clearance.


Success Measures

  • Timely and accurate completion of audits.
  • Maintenance of compliance records.
  • Effective collaboration with Nominated Persons.
  • Closure of internal and external findings within agreed timeframes.


Additional Information

  • Occasional out-of-hours work and travel (domestic/international) may be required.
  • This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-impact aviation environment with a focus on safety, compliance, and operational excellence.
