Please note this is a shift based role attracting a shift allowance of 5,628

We’re looking for a skilled and motivated B2 Engineer to join our Base Maintenance team. Working alongside the Shift Manager, you’ll play a key role in delivering safe, compliant and high‑quality aircraft maintenance, ensuring all operational and contractual requirements are met.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, supporting others, and operating in a fast‑paced maintenance environment while upholding the highest safety and airworthiness standards.

Why AirTanker?

AirTanker is a vital part of the UK’s defence capability, delivering air-to-air refuelling and air transport services to the RAF and MOD. We operate at the intersection of military precision and commercial innovation. As a B2 Engineer, you will play a key role in delivering safe, compliant and high‑quality aircraft maintenance within the Base Maintenance environment. Working closely with the Shift Manager, engineering colleagues and supporting functions, you will certify maintenance activities within your scope of authorisation and directly contribute to aircraft availability, operational performance and regulatory compliance.

What's in it for you?

  • Operational Impact: See the direct results of your work through the safe certification of aircraft maintenance, supporting fleet availability, regulatory compliance and on‑time operational delivery.
  • Technical Authority: Work within your scope of authorisation to certify complex aircraft maintenance tasks, applying your technical expertise in a highly regulated and safety‑critical environment.
  • Collaboration & Exposure: Work closely with Technical Services, Planning, Quality and external partners, gaining valuable exposure beyond the shop floor and enhancing your wider engineering understanding.
  • Variety & Challenge: Be involved in a wide range of base maintenance activities, including defect rectification, modifications and fault investigation, ensuring no two shifts are the same.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Including private medical insurance, bonus scheme, EV scheme, contributory pension, and more.
  • Adventure & Belonging: Battlefield tours, adventure training, and family fun days.

What you'll be doing

  • Certify aircraft servicing and maintenance tasks within your scope of authorisation and in line with Quality and regulatory requirements
  • Supervise and support technical staff, ensuring work is carried out safely and in accordance with approved documentation
  • Take ownership of aircraft documentation, ensuring accurate and timely certification entries
  • Control materials, tooling and equipment, maintaining a clean and safe working environment
  • Encourage open reporting and positive behaviours in line with a just culture
  • Liaise with Technical Services, Planning and other internal and external stakeholders to resolve technical issues and meet schedules
  • Promote and monitor Health, Safety and Environmental standards
  • Escalate safety or disciplinary matters to the Line Manager as required
  • Deputise for Senior Engineers when needed

What you'll bring

  • Hold a CAA B2 licence with A330 Type Rating and relevant Company Authorisation
  • Proven experience certifying maintenance within a Base Maintenance environment
  • Strong understanding of team working within a zonal structure
  • Confident using industry‑standard technical data systems and man‑hour recording tools
  • Ability to take ownership and deliver objectives within agreed timescales

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
