• Competitive salary and excellent benefits
• Generous welcome bonus or relocation support

At Gama Aviation, we’re expanding our engineering capability at Bournemouth Airport and are looking for experienced B1 and B2 Licensed Aircraft Engineers to join our growing team.

If you’re a UK CAA Part-66 B1 or B2 Licensed Engineer with relevant Business Aviation or commercial airline jet/prop experience, we’d like to hear from you. For the right individuals, we are prepared to invest in type rating training, giving you the opportunity to develop your licence and transition onto our diverse Business Aviation fleet.

You Will Hold a UK CAA Part-66 B1 Or B2 Licence And Have Relevant Aircraft Maintenance Experience. We Are Particularly Interested In Engineers Holding Any Of The Following Type Ratings

• Boeing 737
• Bombardier Challenger CL-600-2A12/-2B16 (601, 604, 605)
• Bombardier Global / Global Express BD-700-1A10/-1A11
• Embraer EMB135/145
• Learjet
• Beechcraft King Air

You don’t necessarily need to already hold one of our aircraft type ratings.

We will consider experienced Licensed Engineers from both Business Aviation and commercial airline backgrounds, including engineers with other jet or propeller aircraft type ratings. For suitable candidates, type rating training onto our fleet may be provided. This could be an excellent opportunity for an airline engineer looking to move into Business Aviation, broaden their aircraft experience and develop additional type ratings.

At Bournemouth, you’ll have the opportunity to work across a varied fleet rather than spending your career on a single aircraft type, while continuing to develop your technical capability through further training and type ratings.
