Most workshop roles end when the product leaves the bench.
This one starts there.
Certo Aerospace is developing one of the UK's most advanced heavy-lift rotary-wing UAV platforms, and we're looking for an Aerospace Workshop Technician to help bring the aircraft to life.
Working as part of a close-knit engineering team, you'll assemble, maintain, troubleshoot and continually improve prototype aircraft before supporting their testing both on-site and at flight test locations across the UK.
This is a varied, hands-on role where no two weeks are the same.
