Working life
Aircraft maintenance engineers repair and maintain civil aircraft to ensure they are safe for flight. It’s an immensely flexible but demanding job that gives you fantastic career and life opportunities.- Travel
You could be based on one site but get called on to fly anywhere in the world to fix an aircraft - or fly home with it to do more extensive repairs. Some people prefer to work in the hangar, getting into complete overhauls.
- Work/life balance
You’ll almost certainly be working on a shift system – for example four days on, four days off – which offers you a great work/life balance.
- Specialise
You might decide to specialise in a particular branch of engineering, such as avionics, communications, airframe, engine or radar. Once you have your EASA Pt 66 licence you can also specialise in particular aircraft such as the Boeing 777 or the Airbus A380.
- Live and work abroad
Your EASA Pt 66 licence qualifies you to work in EU countries; it’s also highly respected throughout non-EU countries, many of which make conversions to their own systems very straightforward. So you’ll have great opportunities to live and work abroad.
- Choose your company
You can work with one of the major airline corporations or a smaller private company.
