CAE Seeks Synthetic Flight and Ground School Instructors for New 8,000 sq m Business Aviation Training Facility in Schwechat
Why It MattersThe build-out signals expanding business jet simulator capacity in Central Europe, adding training infrastructure for the G550, Global 7500 and related large-cabin types.
CAE is building its initial instructor team for a purpose-built 8,000-square-metre training facility in Schwechat, Austria, recruiting Synthetic Flight and Ground School Instructors. The centre is planned to operate five Full Flight Simulators covering the G550, PH100/300, Global 7500, and Global 6000 Vision, serving a business aviation customer base.
Instructors will deliver synthetic flight instruction, classroom and ground-school training, simulator sessions, and trainee-record administration, including pre- and post-flight briefings, compliance monitoring, curriculum suggestions, and record-keeping. Applicants must hold a valid EASA licence with at least 1,500 hours of total multi-pilot time, and must indicate whether they hold 500 or more hours of single-pilot experience; CFI, SFI, or SFE qualifications are considered an asset but not mandatory.
High-level English, full-time availability, and residence within commuting distance of Schwechat are required, along with willingness to spend time outside Austria for initial type and SFI ratings. The role carries a training bond dependent on experience and ratings, with details given at interview. Benefits include 25 days of paid annual leave, special leave provisions, sick leave, Austrian social security through ÖGK, and tax benefits such as the Pendlerpauschale travel relief, the Familienbonus, and advantages on the 13th and 14th salary payments.
