You’ll be hands‑on with both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, working across a range of aircraft types to ensure every job meets Part 145 standards and our customer expectations.

* Coordinating with planners and managers to keep work on track
* Maintaining the highest engineering standards for safety, accuracy, and quality
* Driving good hangar practices – housekeeping, FOD prevention, and continuous improvement
* Supporting a culture of teamwork, development, and accountability
What I’m Looking For
* Strong aircraft maintenance experience, ideally with 3 years in Base Maintenance
* A strong technical understanding of aircraft systems, rigging, and structural repair
* Confidence using AMMs, task cards, and recognised maintenance documentation
* A valid UK CAA or EASA B1 AML (issued pre‑ or post‑2020)
* Ideally with current or recent type ratings on any Boeing or Airbus family aircraft
Nice To Have
* Type ratings and recency on B737 (NG/CL), B757, B767, or A320 family aircraft
Why join
* A solid salary with a generous shift premium
* A seasonal shift pattern offering balance and flexibility
* Paid annual refresher training every August
* A professional, safety‑first environment with a strong team culture
