London Gatwick | Full-time | DDNN DDNN 12-hour shift pattern

As a Stores Operative at London Gatwick, you’ll play a key part in the daily delivery of planned maintenance. You’ll keep stock levels on track, prepare materials for upcoming work and help make sure aircraft spares and tooling move safely and efficiently through the station.

Your work will support easyJet’s regulatory, safety and technical standards, helping the Engineering and Maintenance team maintain reliable aircraft operations.

Safety and compliance will guide every task. You’ll follow health and safety requirements and make sure easyJet and contracted customer policies are met.

What we’re looking for

Experience in an engineering stores or tooling environment is essential, with the practical judgement to handle materials accurately and respond to operational priorities. You must hold a full current driving licence.

Attention to detail and confidence using IT are essential. You’ll be organised, comfortable working to deadlines and flexible when plans change or an operational problem needs resolving.

You’ll communicate clearly, build positive working relationships and take ownership of your work.
