Full Time

As a Component Repair Lead / Compliance Verification Engineer (CVE) - Repair Design, you will provide technical leadership in the development, verification and approval of repair solutions for service-run components across the Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace engine portfolio.

Working within our MRO Component Repair organisation, you will be part of an experienced engineering team supporting repair activity across our global network.
