Maintenance jobs in United Kingdom

As a B1 Licensed Field Helicopter Engineer, you'll be responsible for the certification of maintenance and repairs on a variety of rotorcraft, including the popular H125, H135, H145 and the new H160. You'll play a crucial role in ensuring the safe, continued operation of our aircraft through:

• Conducting maintenance inspections and repairs
• Working independently within the regional engineering team to maintain serviceability of the fleet.
• Managing customer's expectations when on-site and upholding the Airbus standards at our line stations.

This is a field-based working from home role that requires flexibility and initiative in order to provide a timely response to the needs of our customers in the field. This can vary from scheduled line maintenance tasks through to role equipment defect troubleshooting.

The role will be based in the North of England between Birmingham and Manchester with odd trips further north and to Oxford.

You will report directly to the Line Maintenance Manager; however, this role will develop into a more autonomous position as the relationship builds with the customer.
