Our role is to capture any design change and ensure that the manuals reflect the exact configuration of each delivered aircraft.

  • Continuous improvement initiatives like processes;
  • Knowledge capture;
  • Quality and problem solving;

The team will provide you with a challenging, exciting, and rewarding working experience with learning opportunities that will bring both aircraft (for UK topics) and non-aircraft (like methods and processes) knowledge. You will gain experience and relative training on a variety of different toolsets, from bespoke tools developed for Airbus to engineering and management tools used by the whole industry.
