Senior Manager, Project Integration- MC2

De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (DHC) is a storied name in the aerospace industry, recognized worldwide for its pioneering contributions to aviation and its unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and reliability. Headquartered in Calgary, AB, DHC currently has approximately 2,400 employees across British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, as well as in markets and distribution hubs world-wide. Established in 1928, De Havilland Canada has a rich history marked by the development of some of the most iconic and versatile aircraft ever built. These aircraft have served a variety of roles—from bush flying to commercial aviation—and are celebrated for their rugged durability, operational versatility, and excellence in performance. Over the decades, De Havilland Canada has evolved to meet the changing needs of the aviation industry. Today, we are more than just an aircraft manufacturer; we are a comprehensive aerospace company with capabilities that span design, production, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. Our operations are supported by a team of skilled engineers, technicians, and industry professionals who are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship and innovation. Position summary Our company designs, develops, manufactures, installs, tests and certifies aircraft modifications, principally avionics upgrades together with the structural and mechanical work those upgrades require. The company holds a Design Approval Organization (DAO), an Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), and a manufacturing capability. The Senior Manager, Project Integration is the senior technical point of contact for an assigned modification project, inside the company and outside it. The position works alongside the Project Manager, who holds the contract, the customer relationship and the master schedule. The Project Manager owns the plan. This position owns the technical content the plan depends on, and the coordination between every group that has to deliver it: design engineering, the DAO, manufacturing, installation, supply chain, and the equipment suppliers. While delay and cost escalation on a modification project can arise from the boundaries between those groups, as well as data released that cannot be built as drawn, or a software load that arrives after the aircraft is already open, so preventing or closing those gaps early is the main purpose of the role. Key responsibilities Coordination and integration Maintain one technical view of the modification, covering avionics, structural and mechanical content, and keep it current as the design develops. Chair the project's technical meetings. Record what was decided and follow it through to closure. Establish what the project needs from each department and when, and obtain those commitments before the need becomes urgent. Resolve technical disagreements at working level, and escalate the ones that cannot be. Manufacturing and installation Involve manufacturing engineering, liaison engineering and the installation teams during design and installation, so that build and installation constraints are treated as design requirements. Define the modification kit: what is manufactured in house, what is purchased, what the customer supplies, and the date each is required. Act as the technical authority for the shop floor and the hangar. Manage the technical query process and its response times. Disposition non-conformances with the DAO and feed the outcome back into the drawings, so that the same query does not recur on the next aircraft. Lead the prototype installation and the transition into repeatable production installations. Equipment suppliers and OEMs Act as the technical contact for the avionics Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) supplying hardware, Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) and software. Agree and control the electrical, mechanical, data and software interfaces. Interface definitions are documente…
