Strengthening Leadership Across Service Engineering

STS Aviation Group is proud to announce several key leadership changes within its Service Engineering division… changes that reflect both the growth of our business and the commitment of our people. Each promotion underscores a simple truth: the future of aviation is built on the shoulders of dedicated engineers who lead with vision, discipline, and care.

Amber North: Sr. Manager, Service Engineering – AOG Services

Few areas in aviation demand more precision than AOG support. Aircraft on Ground events move fast, and operators need white-glove service without compromise. To meet this demand, Amber North has been promoted to Sr. Manager, Service Engineering – AOG Services. Amber’s proven leadership and relentless focus on customer success make her the ideal choice to expand oversight of our AOG operations across all ATAs. She will lead deployment of road teams, maintain a global 24/7 schedule, and ensure operator-specific needs are not just met, but anticipated.

New Leadership Roles: Building Depth and Focus

To ensure strength across every core service area, two new management roles have been established:

• Arturo Romero – Manager, Service Engineering – Damage Tolerance Arturo has long been at the forefront of our Damage Tolerance initiatives, managing DERs and DTE staff through complex requests and AMOCs. Now, in a formal management capacity, he will continue this work while also overseeing the design and development of new analysis tools — innovations that expand both the efficiency and scope of STS engineering.

• Lael Gobble – Manager, Service Engineering – Heavy Maintenance Heavy maintenance programs require steady leadership and clear coordination. Lael will oversee all remote engineering support in this space, ensuring that quality and efficiency remain uncompromised. His focus on training initiatives will ensure that major and minor repairs stay on schedule, creating a clear line of separation from the fast-paced demands of AOG services.

Both Arturo and Lael move forward from Principal Engineer to Manager, marking not only their personal growth but also STS Aviation Group’s commitment to developing leadership from within.

Recognizing Excellence in Melbourne, Florida

At our MRO in Melbourne, Florida, two additional promotions highlight the strength of our engineering talent:

• Joshua Greer has been promoted from Senior Engineer to Principal Engineer, reflecting his role as a mentor, trainer, and solutions-driven leader on-site.

• Thomas Townley has advanced from Associate Engineer to Engineer, a recognition of his strong technical performance and growing expertise after just one year with the team.

Investing in People, Driving the Future

These leadership changes represent more than titles. They reflect STS Aviation Group’s commitment to investing in its people, scaling for growth, and strengthening the operational backbone that supports our customers worldwide.

Congratulations to Amber, Arturo, Lael, Joshua, and Thomas. Their leadership will help guide STS Aviation Group into its next chapter of growth and excellence.
