Following a new pay agreement, we're excited to share that salaries across our Engineering & Maintenance team have recently increased making now a great time to join us as we go live with recruitment for this role. As part of an 800 strong team, you'll do this by using your technical knowledge of aircraft to perform maintenance activities on our fleet of A320 and A320neos to industry leading safety and technical standards. Working under the guidance of Duty Engineers or Aircraft Maintenance Supervisors, you'll carry out defect rectification and routine servicing using the latest tools and technology.

Everyone at easyJet shares the 'Orange Spirit', and within Engineering & Maintenance that means working with people who collaborate, are approachable, are incredibly diverse and inclusive, stand up to be counted, and have your back. As well as rock solid commitment to your ongoing development and training, we can also offer you lots of other benefits including bonuses, share schemes, and of course discounts on flights and holidays.

As part of our continuous commitment to the well-being and fulfillment of our Engineering & Maintenance team, easyJet has recently reviewed salaries across the department. In recognition of the production teams overall contribution, we have increased both the basic pay and social impact allowance.

You keep aircraft safe, serviceable and ready to fly, bringing technical judgement, precision and calm decision-making to every shift.

The opportunity

Join easyJet's Engineering and Maintenance team at Gatwick, carrying out scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, rectifying defects and certifying completed work in line with approved maintenance documentation, company procedures and legislation.

You'll use your licence and aircraft knowledge to support safe, efficient departures, while keeping the Duty Engineer or Maintenance Supervisor informed about work, risks and anything that could affect the operating programme.
