You keep aircraft safe, serviceable and ready to fly, bringing technical judgement, precision and calm decision-making to every shift.
The opportunity
Join easyJet’s Engineering and Maintenance team at Gatwick, carrying out scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, rectifying defects and certifying completed work in line with approved maintenance documentation, company procedures and legislation.
You’ll use your licence and aircraft knowledge to support safe, efficient departures, while keeping the Duty Engineer or Maintenance Supervisor informed about work, risks and anything that could affect the operating programme.
“This role is all about sound engineering judgement and doing the basics brilliantly. We’re looking for someone who takes real ownership of safety and standards, communicates clearly and helps the whole shift deliver a safe, on-time operation.”
The team & culture
You’ll be part of easyJet’s Engineering and Maintenance team, working closely with colleagues across the operation to maintain high aircraft performance standards. The environment is fast-paced and practical, with teamwork, clear handovers and a strong focus on safe delivery.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll exercise your licence and approvals across scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, defect rectification and release-to-service activity, making sure work meets the required technical and legal standards.
You’ll review jobs and resources, set clear priorities for colleagues allocated to you and help channel effort towards safe, on-time departures. When supervising others, you’ll protect workmanship standards and make sure the right tools are used.
You’ll keep maintenance records accurate and timely, check the certification and condition of replacement parts, and report technical delays, significant defects, incidents and other required events through the correct channels.
Strong handovers matter. You’ll record deferred defects, make sure required spares are ordered and leave clear verbal and documented information for the next shift.
