Job description

Do you want to say you helped put the next generation UK fighter jet into service? We’re looking for Aircraft Maintenance Store Persons to join our newly created team at Boscombe Down to deliver an exciting engineering programme that will see our Flight Test Aircraft contribute to the development of the UK’s Future Combat Air System (FCAS).

About us:

2Excel is a high-performance aviation services business that specialises in doing difficult things well. We have experienced significant growth since inception and that vector shows no sign of slowing down. Spread over multiple sites, engaging in a wide variety of activities including search and rescue, charter, capability development and aircraft maintenance, our people are at the heart of our business and, therefore, our priority.

Since 2019 we have been working on our Excalibur project; a flight test aircraft created as a flying laboratory for combat air technology. It is part of the UK’s Future Combat Air System (FCAS), which will include the core fighter being developed under the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), as well as a broader range of capabilities such as uncrewed aircraft, information systems and weapon systems.

As we enter the next phase of this project, we are seeking exceptional Store Persons to join our team to support the engineering programme at Boscombe Down in Wiltshire.

About the role:

Our Stores personnel play a crucial role in managing the flow of materials within our organization, ensuring that parts and supplies are efficiently stored, located, and distributed as needed. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the success of our operations and be a part of a dynamic team in the aerospace industry. Reporting to the Station Engineer on a day to day basis and the 2Excel Engineering Materiels Manager more broadly, this role will generally work Monday to Friday with flexibility to accommodate emergency situations, unscheduled maintenance or project deadlines. Key duties will include:

• Receive, inspect, and verify incoming materials against purchase orders or other documents.
• Safely and accurately store materials in designated locations within the warehouse or storage area.
• Maintain inventory accuracy through regular cycle counts and audits.
• Pick, pack, and ship materials to internal departments or external customers as required.
• Coordinate with procurement and production teams to fulfill material requisitions in a timely manner.
• Perform data entry tasks to update inventory records and transaction logs using computerized systems.
• Ensure compliance with company policies, procedures, and safety regulations at all times.
• Flexibility to work at other 2Excel sites in line with business need.

About you:

You’ll have experience of working in a Part 145 MRO environment or similar, with a good understanding of the regulatory requirements of working in the aviation industry.

You’ll be familiar with inventory management systems and have good computer skills.

You’ll be willing and able to operate material handling equipment such as forklifts and pallet jacks (training will be provided if necessary).

You’ll have a strong attention to detail and be an effective communicator, both verbal and written, and have the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

You will also need to be eligible to hold a UK Security Clearance which is a requirement of this role.

What we offer:

In return we can offer a generous salary, 25 days holiday per year from day one plus bank holidays, 5% matched Pension scheme, Group Life Insurance, Health and Wellbeing benefits including Health Care Cash Plan and an EAP, and much more.

Apply using our application form and upload your CV. You are encouraged to use the Covering Letter function to demonstrate how you meet the requirements of the role.
