Facilities and Vehicles Manager - PNG

✈️ Mission-Powered | Adventure-Approved ????

Do you love fixing things, keeping people moving, and making sure everything runs smoothly while planes are soaring overhead? Then we’ve got the perfect role for you!

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) has been bringing help, hope, and healing in the name of Jesus to over 30 developing countries for 75+ years. Flying into some of the world’s most remote places, we deliver patients, relief teams, Bibles, and essential supplies where roads don’t go — because in many communities, flying isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline.

Our vibrant programme in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a hub of adventure and impact. With rugged terrain, remote villages, and only 18% of the population living in urban areas, MAF’s work is transforming lives, one flight at a time — from emergency medevacs to delivering food, vaccines, and hope. 

We’re looking for a Facilities & Vehicles Manager to lead our ground operations in PNG. You’ll be the go-to person for everything on the ground, keeping MAF’s infrastructure, facilities, and fleet in top shape so our planes can keep flying.

Responsibilities

This role is perfect for someone mission-minded, people-focused, and practical — someone who thrives in organised chaos, loves a challenge, and wants their work to make a real impact.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading the Facilities & Vehicles team to ensure all buildings and vehicles are safe, well-maintained, and mission-ready.
• Training, coaching, and guiding the maintenance crew to perform at their best.
• Overseeing all maintenance operations, stepping in to manage the team and projects, big or small.
• Planning and executing maintenance projects, from routine checks to major upgrades.
• Ensuring the vehicle fleet is dependable and road-ready at all times.
• Keeping budgets on track, tools organised, and safety top of mind for the team.
• Working closely with the broader MAF PNG team to support smooth operations on the ground.

You’ll be great at this if you:

• Know your way around building maintenance, workshops, and vehicle fleets.
• Enjoy working with people and coaching a team to success.
• Can solve problems on the fly, stay calm under pressure, and keep a sense of humour when challenges arise.
• Love helping others grow, particularly our awesome local staff.
• Can handle spreadsheets, schedules, and spanners with equal confidence.
• Are excited to serve in a role that supports God’s mission in remote PNG communities.
