The posting

Please note this is a shift based role

We’re looking for a Short Term Planner to join our Fleet Engineering team and play a key role in keeping the Voyager fleet airworthy, available and ready to meet operational requirements.

You’ll take ownership of short-term aircraft maintenance planning, looking three months ahead to coordinate maintenance activity up to and including 6-month checks. Working across CAMO, Line Maintenance, Base Maintenance, Materials and Operations, you’ll balance maintenance requirements with aircraft availability and operational priorities.

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 Short Term Planner, you will be at the centre of keeping our aircraft airworthy, available and ready for operation. From managing the three-month rolling maintenance plan to coordinating maintenance teams, materials and aircraft availability, you will bring together multiple priorities to keep maintenance activity on track. Your decisions will have a direct impact on aircraft downtime, operational delivery and fleet availability.

What's in it for you?

  • Planning Ownership: Take responsibility for the three-month rolling maintenance plan and influence how maintenance activity is prioritised across the fleet.
  • Variety & Challenge: Balance changing operational requirements, maintenance priorities and resources in a fast-paced aviation environment.
  • Cross-Functional Exposure: Work closely with teams across Engineering, Operations and Materials, as well as external MROs.
  • 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

  • Develop and maintain the three-month rolling aircraft maintenance plan.
  • Plan and prioritise short-term maintenance activity, identifying risks and putting contingency plans in place.
  • Optimise maintenance inputs to support aircraft availability and reduce turnaround times.
  • Coordinate resources, including hangar space, manpower and materials.
  • Create work orders for Line Maintenance activity, including deployment preparations, recoveries and 6-month checks.
  • Work closely with CAMO, Base Maintenance, Line Maintenance, Materials and Operations to coordinate maintenance activity.
  • Coordinate with MROs to schedule maintenance and support timely completion.
  • Work alongside the Mid/Long Term Planner and Fleet Liaison Manager to support wider fleet planning.
  • Support the effective management of flight hours and flight cycles across the fleet.
  • Deputise for the Planning Manager when required.

What you'll bring

  • At least two years’ experience in aircraft maintenance planning, ideally within a CAMO environment.
  • Experience of maintenance planning on wide-body aircraft.
  • Knowledge of UK Civil and Military Aviation Authority regulations and EASA regulations.
  • Experience using MRO IT systems such as Envision, AMOS or Trax.
  • Knowledge of the Airbus A330 Maintenance Planning Document.
  • Strong prioritisation skills and the ability to work independently under operational pressure.
  • A calm and professional approach when responding to changing operational requirements.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience writing procedures and processes.
  • Project management experience. A recognised qualification or course would be advantageous.

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.
