Aircraft Mechanic
Luton
Permanent
We are currently recruiting for a Mechanic / A Licensed Mechanic to join our established, reputable team at our Luton base, on a permanent, full time basis.
THE ROLE
The Mechanic will be actively involved in line and base maintenance activities, as required in accordance with company procedures and under Part 145, and as delegated by the Licensed Engineers and Engineering Managers.
As part of a wider team, the Mechanic will be responsible for conducting and maintaining high standards of aircraft maintenance and undertaking such maintenance in a safe and timely manner, in accordance with approved data, MOE/work instructions and regulations.
Working within a small team, the mechanic may need to manage company mobile phones throughout the shift and provide feedback to customers. The post is hands‑on and requires that the incumbent actively takes part in aircraft maintenance.
An ideal candidate will have good experience in both line and scheduled maintenance.
Due to the nature of Corporate / Private Aviation, the mechanic will ensure that any enquiries from customers or crew are dealt with professionally, either directly or by liaising with relevant internal departments, providing regular feedback and acting as first point of contact when necessary.
The mechanic will actively be involved in both line and base maintenance, maintaining a proactive and flexible approach, and will at times be expected to work away from base.
HOURS OF WORK
The Luton base operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The successful applicant must be flexible and professional, covering a 24‑hour operation that includes days, nights, weekends and bank holidays.
The shift pattern is normally 4 on 4 off, with occasional variations for lone working or workload requirements.
Initial training requires a period working Monday to Friday.
THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE
Preference will be given to candidates with experience in Corporate / Private aviation, or working on any of the following:
* Good computer skills (Microsoft Office, general system knowledge) – required.
* Sheet metal experience – beneficial but not essential.
The candidate should be organised, adaptable, flexible, with strong interpersonal skills and a diplomatic approach. Enthusiastic, willing to learn, and maintaining a professional appearance and manner even under difficult circumstances.
Key qualities include prioritising in a changing environment, remaining calm under pressure, excellent communication, courtesy, integrity, good administration skills and computer literacy.
A full UK driving licence and right to live and work in the UK are essential, as is a 5‑year checkable history for an airport ID pass.
Benefits
* ‘A’ Licensed mechanics may qualify for an authorisation payment of £750 per aircraft type, up to a maximum of 5.
* Enhanced annual leave entitlements (dependent on shift pattern and pro‑rated during first year).
* Holiday Purchase Scheme.
