Role Overview

As one of our B1 Licensed Engineers you’ll play a vital role in keeping our customers moving and reducing delays - and helping us continue to have the highest technical reliability of any Airbus fleet in the world.

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 fulfilment 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.
