Description

The team & culture

You’ll lead a small, experienced Fleet Engineering team and work cross‑functionally with colleagues across the business.

You’ll have the space to develop your team, improve how work gets done and use your expertise to support better aircraft availability and system reliability.

You’ll also support reliability analysis, occurrence and audit follow‑up, modification programmes, budgets and relationships with OEMs and industry partners.

Experience working with Airbus aircraft is a bonus , alongside experience leading and developing a team and supporting them with complex technical queries.

You’ll bring practical knowledge of EASA/UK Part M and Part CAMO, including competence in airworthiness regulations, systems, reliability control and Maintenance Programme development. You’ll also have experience managing collaborative development projects to fixed deadlines.

Clear communication matters, whether you’re troubleshooting with maintenance teams, presenting to stakeholders or representing easyJet at OEM and industry meetings. You’ll be comfortable with Microsoft Office, motivated by continuous improvement and adaptable to change. Experience of Airbus Single Aisle aircraft systems and AMOS or a similar MRO system is desirable.
