Onsite | Full time | 11 hours ago - Be the first to apply
The Role
We are currently recruiting for a Mechanic / A Licensed Mechanic to join our established, reputable team at our Luton base, on a permanent, full time basis.
The Mechanic will be actively involved in line and base maintenance activities, as required in accordance with company procedures and under Part 145, and as delegated by the Licensed Engineers and Engineering Managers.
As part of a wider team, the Mechanic is responsible for conducting and maintaining high standards of aircraft maintenance and to undertake such maintenance in a safe and timely manner as appropriate to the role, and in accordance with approved data, MOE/work instructions and regulations.
Working within a small team, the mechanic will at times be required to manage as necessary the company mobile phones throughout the shift and be able to provide feedback to customers. The post is hands-on and will require that the incumbent actively takes part in the aircraft maintenance.
It would be beneficial if the successful person has good experience involving both line and scheduled maintenance.
Due to the nature of Corporate / Private Aviation, the mechanic will ensure that any enquiries from customers / crew are dealt with professionally and either deal with the request directly and/or liaise with the relevant internal departments to ensure that these are managed through to completion, providing regular feedback and acting when necessary as first point of contact.
The mechanic will actively be involved in both line and base maintenance and will have a proactive and flexible approach and will at times be expected to work away from base.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Hours of Work
The Luton base operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year – as a result, the successful applicant must be flexible and professional. You will be required to work as part of a team covering a 24-hour operation, which will include working days, lates, weekends and bank holidays.
This will normally be a 4 on 4 off shift pattern, however flexibility will be required due to the possibility of occasional lone working or workload, in which case actual shift times may be varied.
Initial training will require a period working Monday to Friday.
The Successful Candidate

- Good computer skills (Microsoft packages, general working knowledge of systems) are a requirement.

Applicants should have an organised, adaptable and flexible approach with strong interpersonal skills and a diplomatic approach. You will be enthusiastic, willing to learn and maintain a professional appearance and manner even in sometimes difficult circumstances.
The ability to prioritise in an ever-changing environment, remain calm and adapt under pressure are essential for the role. Excellent communication skills combined with courtesy and integrity are also important. Good administration skills and computer literacy are essential.
