Executive Assistant

Gables Engineering Inc., a HEICO company, is the industry leader in custom avionics controls and other related products. Our engineers maintain a sharp focus on all aspects of control panel technology, as it exists today and as it continues to evolve. While new technologies are being defined, Gables works closely with operators to identify specific solutions for their fleets. In stark contrast to the trend toward outsourcing manufacturing processes, Gables Engineering Inc. is a highly vertically integrated company. This offers our customer a rapid design-to-production cycle, and better overall control of quality and delivery.

 

Are you a sharp, resourceful, and highly trusted Executive Assistant who thrives in a fast‑paced environment with constantly shifting priorities? We’re looking for a proactive partner to support our executive. In this position, you’ll navigate complex calendars, manage travel needs, and act as a strategic gatekeeper for high‑volume communication. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, clients, and external partners—always with professionalism, sound judgment, and absolute discretion.

 

This role is ideal for someone who stays calm under pressure, anticipates needs before they arise, and can juggle competing priorities while keeping critical deadlines and projects on track. If you’re energized by variety, problem‑solving, and being the trusted backbone that keeps an executive operating at peak performance, we want to meet you.
