Boeing Global Services (BGS) is seeking an Experienced Field Representative to support the Saudi AWACS and 707 aircraft at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia.

In this position you'll act as a field service representative (FSR) supporting the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) with direct, “over the shoulder”, technical support. The objective of this position is to identify and repair aircraft anomalies and return aircraft to fully mission capable status. The FSR will provide overall air vehicle technical support, guidance and expertise. The FSR will also provide support to troubleshoot, resolve, or assist in the resolution of RSAF AWACS/707 mechanical and structural issues.

The FSR will be supported by two Boeing expat maintainers and together will be expected to address numerous aircraft and support equipment discrepancies. RSAF personnel will be expected to be present while issues are being worked, but there is a high likelihood that the FSRs and maintainers will be expected to perform "hands-on" effort to both resolve problems encountered and instruct RSAF personnel.

FSRs are the in-person Boeing "face" to the customer, so personal appearance (grooming and dress), a helpful and friendly demeanor, and the ability to speak and write in a professional, unambiguous manner while working unsupervised for extended periods of time are paramount.

Working hours will nominally be 5-days a week (M-F), 8-hours per day. Additionally, FSRs must be willing to work flexible hours (i.e. on-call 24 hours per day, and 7 days per week) as the job requires. Note that lodging is approximately 90 to 120 minutes from the work site at Prince Sultan Air Base, but commuting times will be compensated up to two hours each way, daily. Deployment travel accompanying RSAF personnel within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is anticipated. At the sole discretion of leadership, an FSR must be willing and able (on potentially short-notice) to deploy/travel to a variety of locations (domestic and international) and for a variety of deployment durations to meet customer needs and the statement of work. Unless compelling reasons exist, failure to deploy/travel will be considered as a resignation.

This is a Long-Term Assignment to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for up to two years.. Relocation/assignment benefits to the international location will be provided.

RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE: 

Providing technical guidance in the normal operation and maintenance of the Saudi AWACS/707

Supplementing local training by providing technical guidance and informal OJT for aircraft and support equipment
