Associate/Contractor

Baines Simmons builds the competence behind aerospace and defence safety. For 25 years we have delivered expert, approachable training and consulting to civil and military aviation organisations worldwide: more than 750 organisations served, over 200,000 professionals trained, and 40 or more regulatory authorities advised.

We work as one with our clients, sharing serious know-how, rigour and expertise. Across every sector, and alongside global regulators, we help organisations continuously improve safety, airworthiness and compliance. We go beyond helping them comply with regulations; we empower them to excel in operational and safety performance.

We look for curiosity, passion, leadership and impact in everyone we work with, including our network of specialist associates. The experts we engage do not just advise on safety. They change how clients manage it. If you want your work to make a measurable difference to aviation safety, we would like to hear from you.

Baines Simmons is one of four Trust Flight brands. Trust Flight is the Aerospace Safety Intelligence Platform, building the technology that helps aviation operate safely and stay compliant. Redline Assured Security delivers government-standard aviation security, and Kenyon International delivers crisis management and response. Each brand keeps its own name, heritage and team. Together we share one platform, one set of values and one purpose: closing the gaps between disconnected tools and providers, because those gaps are where risk accumulates.

Working with Baines Simmons means your expertise connects to all four.

We believe specialists do their best work when they have the freedom to apply their expertise without unnecessary rules and barriers getting in the way. Our associate relationships are built on trust: we engage experienced professionals and rely on their independent judgement to make the right calls for the customer. We earn our clients' confidence by being honest and dependable with the people we work with, and we respect that associates manage their own time and commitments.

As an associate you join a respected network of surveyors delivering high-profile military airworthiness work, with the backing of an established organisation and the scope to take on further platforms and assignments as you build your track record.

If you want to make a real difference to safety, this is the place to be.

You will carry out Military Airworthiness Reviews (Mil ARs) on Typhoon Air Systems under the RAF MAR contract, giving the RAF independent, evidence-based assurance that continuing airworthiness is being managed in line with regulation. Your judgements are your own: you set the sample, raise and classify findings, and report outcomes on the evidence, without direction from the customer or from Baines Simmons.

Once authorised, you will also carry out Technical Compliance (TC) checks of other surveyors' reports, helping to keep the quality of the whole programme high.
