  • Ensure accurate certification of all maintenance tasks and technical documentation
  • Drive compliance with Engineering safety, EASA regulations, and company procedures

Requirements

  • A CAA Part 66 B1 Aircraft Maintenance Licence, with the confidence to certify complex maintenance activity safely and accurately
  • Company approvals on one or more widebody aircraft types, such as Airbus A330 (RR Trent), Airbus A350 (RR Trent), or Boeing 787 (RR Trent), working on some of the most advanced aircraft in the sky
  • Proven experience operating in a certifying engineer role, with the credibility and presence to supervise small teams and guide others through challenging technical scenarios
  • Recent hands-on experience in an aeronautical engineering or aircraft maintenance environment, across line and/or base maintenance
  • Strong communication skills, allowing you to lead teams, liaise with Technical Control, and work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders to keep aircraft moving safely and on time
  • A proactive, organised mindset, with the ability to plan ahead, adapt quickly, and make sound decisions in a live operational setting
  • A full, valid UK driving licence

Nice to have

  • Experience of the Virgin Atlantic fleet
  • Familiarity with our maintenance and IT systems
