• Review aircraft, engine and component records to support technical due diligence for acquisitions and disposals.

• Validate technical documentation, traceability evidence and asset status information.

• Review ADs, SBs, LLPs, modifications, repairs and back-to-birth records against regulatory, contractual, customer, operator and lessor requirements.

• Identify records gaps, discrepancies, compliance issues and commercial risks.

• Recommend practical corrective actions and escalate significant issues where requirements cannot be met.

• Provide technical records advice to Sales, Business Development, Asset Management, Engines and Technical teams.

• Support aircraft and major-asset transitions, teardowns, acquisitions and disposals with timely records expertise.

• Help improve technical records processes, standards and best practice.

• Use AI-assisted tools where appropriate, while retaining human judgement, technical accountability and final decision-making.

• Support transaction readiness by ensuring asset records are complete, accurate, traceable and ready for customer, operator or lessor review.
