AvPosts, the business aviation job board built by VOL and ForIT, is partnering with the Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) to help operators, brokers, and flight departments across the country fill the roles that keep aircraft flying — from pilots and aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs) to dispatchers, flight coordinators, and client service teams.
In partnership with
Business aviation in Canada has a hiring problem that doesn't look like hiring problems in other industries. A charter operator searching for a type-rated captain, or a flight department that needs an aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) certified on a specific airframe, can't post that role to a general job board and expect it to land in front of the right person. These roles are specialized, the qualified candidate pool is small and geographically scattered, and the people who fit them are usually already working in the industry — not scrolling a generic careers site.
AvPosts exists because of that gap. It is Canada's business aviation job board, built specifically for the roles this industry actually hires: pilots, AMEs, dispatchers and operations staff, and ground and client-facing teams. Employers already post roles there, and candidates already look for their next one there, without wading through postings for unrelated industries.
The Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) is the national association representing operators, flight departments, and service providers across Canada's business aviation industry, advocating on their behalf with regulators and government. Bringing AvPosts and CBAA together gives both sides of the hiring equation a more direct path to each other.
For CBAA members, it means a dedicated channel to reach candidates who are already qualified for business aviation roles, instead of a generic job board diluted by searches for unrelated work. For candidates, including CBAA members and the wider pool of pilots, AMEs, and operations professionals across the country, it means a clearer, more complete view of who across the industry is actively hiring.
CBAA represents its members through regional chapters spanning the country — Atlantic, Calgary, Central Canada, Edmonton, Ontario, Quebec, and Vancouver — alongside national advocacy on the regulatory and policy issues that affect how operators run their businesses. A hiring channel that reaches that membership directly, instead of relying on word of mouth or a scattering of regional job boards, is a meaningful upgrade for an industry where the qualified candidate for a given role might be based in any one of those regions.
AvPosts isn't a general job board with an aviation filter bolted on. Every listing on the platform falls into one of the role categories that make a business aviation operation run:
That focus is what makes the CBAA partnership work: AvPosts already speaks the vocabulary of Canadian business aviation hiring, from aircraft types to the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) that shape how operators staff a flight department.
AvPosts is engineered by ForIT, the AI-native software and IT firm that builds and runs technology for Part 135, Part 121, and Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR) 704 and 705 operators. ForIT's engineering work already runs behind the scenes at charter operators across the country — the same team has taken a brand-new minimum equipment list (MEL) from draft to Transport Canada approval in under a week, and cut the time operators spend processing crew records by as much as 90%. That's the standard AvPosts is held to: new features ship in weeks, not months, and the people who built the product are the ones running it day to day.
VOL backs AvPosts as part of a broader set of software built for this industry, alongside Digital Reservation, AvRegs, and AvFees — reservation, regulatory, and cost-data tools built for the same operators, brokers, and flight departments AvPosts serves.
If you're an operator, broker, or flight department with a role to fill, posting it on AvPosts puts it in front of candidates who already work in, or are actively looking to work in, Canadian business aviation — without the noise of a general-purpose job board. CBAA members get a direct line to that same pool as part of the association's ongoing work on workforce development for the industry.
If you're a pilot, AME, dispatcher, or ground and client service specialist looking for your next role, AvPosts is where Canadian business aviation operators, brokers, and flight departments are already posting. Browse open roles, or set up alerts for the aircraft types and bases you're qualified for.
A hiring channel built for the industry, not adapted for it — that's the point of putting AvPosts and CBAA's membership together.
AvPosts is Canada's business aviation job board, built by VOL and ForIT. It connects pilots, aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs), dispatchers, and ground and client service specialists with charter operators, fractional providers, brokers, and corporate flight departments hiring across the country.
No. AvPosts is open to any Canadian business aviation employer or candidate. The CBAA partnership gives CBAA's membership a direct channel into the platform, but postings and applications on AvPosts aren't restricted to members.
Pilot roles (captain and first officer), aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) positions, dispatch and flight operations roles, and ground and client-facing positions across FBOs and operators — the roles specific to running a business aviation operation, not a general careers listing.
A general job board returns every industry's listings for a given search term. AvPosts only lists business aviation roles, so employers reach candidates already qualified for and interested in the industry, and candidates don't have to filter out unrelated results to find a role that fits.
Employers and CBAA members can post directly on AvPosts, or get in touch with VOL with questions about the partnership.
CBAA members with roles to fill, and operators who aren't yet CBAA members but want to reach Canadian business aviation talent, can get started on AvPosts directly or reach out to VOL to talk through what the partnership means for their hiring. Candidates can browse current openings on AvPosts today, across pilot, AME, dispatch, and ground service roles from operators all over the country.
