As a Deputy Duty Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of this fast-paced environment, supporting the Duty Engineer in leading the shift and keeping our aircraft in top condition.

It’s a role that keeps you right at the centre of the action, ensuring our aircraft depart safely, on time, and in peak condition, day after day.
