Ascent Aviation Services continues to grow and are continually looking for motivated and career minded aviation professionals who will support our vision and goals.

Join Our Team in the New Year as a Quality Assurance Auditor!

At Ascent, we operate in a complex, multi-authority environment — holding approvals from the FAA, EASA, TCCA, and other global regulators. Our success depends on professionals who can navigate these standards with skill, integrity, and curiosity, while embodying our core values of respect , safety , quality , and results . Guided by these principles, you’ll help uphold the highest standards that keep our operations running smoothly and securely.
