Job description

Job Purpose

Emirates is one of the world's leading international airlines, connecting people and places through its extensive global network. Renowned for its commitment to safety, innovation and service excellence, Emirates continues to invest in developing world-class aviation capabilities.

We are looking for a qualified and motivated Aircraft Technician to join the Emirates Flight Training Academy in Dubai. The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out aircraft and component maintenance activities in accordance with approved procedures, manufacturer guidelines and regulatory requirements. Working under the direction of Licensed Aircraft Engineers, you will contribute to maintaining the safety, reliability and airworthiness of the Academy's fleet of 27 aircraft, ensuring maintenance activities are completed efficiently and to the highest standards of quality and safety.

You will carry out routine aircraft, engine and component servicing, maintenance activities and approved structural repairs, including fluid replenishment, aircraft refuelling and aircraft system servicing, in accordance with approved technical procedures. The role will involve performing component replacements, assisting Licensed Aircraft Engineers with aircraft arrival and departure walk-around checks, troubleshooting, defect rectification and modifications, while following the instructions outlined in relevant maintenance job cards.

You will be required to interpret and work with approved technical documentation, including Aircraft Maintenance Manuals (AMM), IPC and CMM, to ensure all maintenance tasks are performed accurately. You will also be responsible for identifying and promptly reporting aircraft, component or structural defects, supporting scheduled inspections, diagnosing mechanical and electrical issues, replacing defective or worn parts, and conducting testing of aircraft communication and diagnostic systems.

As part of the EFTA operation, you will contribute directly to maintaining the airworthiness and operational readiness of the Academy's fleet. This may require deployment across EFTA operations, including diversionary airfields, to support aircraft recovery in AOG situations.

Maintaining a strong safety culture will be an essential part of the role. You will ensure compliance with airport safety regulations and airside procedures, maintain a valid airport driving permit, and uphold high standards of housekeeping and FOD prevention. You will also be expected to identify and report safety hazards, maintain tools and equipment appropriately, ensure effective shift handovers and complete allocated tasks promptly to minimise operational delays and aircraft downtime.

Qualification

Candidates should have completed an apprenticeship in Aircraft Maintenance or possess equivalent technical training from a reputable airline or approved aircraft maintenance organisation. Alternatively, candidates holding an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Licence with a minimum of seven years of relevant experience will be considered.

Applicants should demonstrate sound technical knowledge of aircraft maintenance procedures, servicing, component replacement, inspections and defect rectification, with the ability to interpret and apply approved technical manuals and documentation. Practical experience in diagnosing mechanical and electrical faults and working within an aircraft maintenance environment will be advantageous.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong attention to detail, a commitment to safety and quality standards, effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a technical team. Flexibility to work shifts and support operational requirements, including deployment to diversionary airfields when necessary, is essential.

This is a safety-sensitive role involving working at heights, in confined spaces and around hazardous energy systems, pressurised substances, moving equipment and other aircraft maintenance-related hazards. The position may also involve heavy lifting and exposure to noise, heat and chemicals. Candidates must be comfortable working in an operational airport environment.

Salary & benefits

Emirates offers a competitive remuneration package along with a comprehensive range of benefits designed to support employees' professional and personal wellbeing. These include opportunities for career development, travel benefits and the opportunity to work with a globally recognised aviation organisation.
