A career without limits
It’s an exciting time to be at British Airways. We celebrated our centenary year in 2019 and have been making unprecedented investments in new aircraft, facilities, and every aspect of the customer experience.
If you’re made of the same qualities as us, you could soon be part of the next chapter of our story. Together as one team, we’re connecting Britain with the world and the world to Britain like no one else.
The role: B2 Licenced Engineer or Technician – Aircraft type desirable, but not necessary
Our Engineering department is evolving to open up a whole new world of possibilities and that includes greater flexibility on aircraft type ratings. This means we’ll provide you with all the training to certify our aircraft.
The Licenced Engineer role requires you to hold at least one aircraft type rating, but this is not a requirement for a B2 Technician role, as we will train and develop you towards becoming a Licenced Engineer.
It’s a time of investment and growth in our fleet, producing endless opportunities for our Engineers. We have a number of different aircraft you can work on: A320s, B777s, B787s, A350s, and A380s. We continue to grow our fleet with more A350s and Boeing 787 Dreamliners on the way.
