In this case, Cargolux asked for our assistance with five specific challenges:

Launching a new business unit, Aquarius Aerial Firefighting (Aquarius AFF)
An initial requirement to source and attract four licensed aircraft engineers with AT-802 type certification
The need for specialist workers who would be flexible on location and work patterns
Sourcing engineers with very specific skill sets
Zero candidates available through job boards

the goal.

The goal was to successfully launch the new venture while sourcing specialist talent for hard to fill roles.

Qualitair has been working with Cargolux for over 30 years and has experience of our ability to source, deploy and payroll talent across Europe.

Cargolux were aware that the skills required are very rare and typically employed on a permanent basis but required Qualitair to source and deploy four Licensed Aircraft Mechanics to maintain a fleet of 12 Air Tractor AT-802F Fire Boss aircraft.
