Build Aircraft Structures in Nottingham
Morson Edge is looking for Assembly Fitters to join an established aerospace manufacturing operation based in Nottingham.
This is a hands-on manufacturing opportunity working on aircraft structures and assemblies, using engineering drawings, jigs, fixtures, and specialist tooling to produce components to exacting aerospace standards.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You'll work as part of an experienced manufacturing team, assembling aircraft components from drawings, specifications, standard working practices, and visual instructions.
Typical Activities Can Include
- Drilling and countersinking
- Riveting and fitting specialist fasteners

- Bench fitting and component assembly
- Operating pneumatic and bench-top tools
- Press fitting using hydraulic and fly presses

- Maintaining accurate production and traceability records
- Working to strict safety and quality requirements
The A350 specification also includes bush spinning, bonding and over-sealing, low-level self-inspection, and some semi-skilled sheet-metal work.
What We're Looking For
We're particularly interested in people with practical assembly or engineering experience.
