We are looking for an experienced aviation workshop professional who is ready to take the next step into a leadership role.

You'll be working in an Aircraft Wheels and Brakes workshop, helping to manage the daily workload and supporting a team of around 15-20 people alongside the existing permanent Team Leaders.

This is a great opportunity for someone who has good technical experience but doesn't want to stay in a purely hands-on workshop role and wants to develop into a leader.

• Plan and organise the daily workshop workload.
• Allocate jobs to technicians and make sure work is completed on time.
• Monitor jobs through the workshop and help remove any delays.
• Work with Stores to make sure parts and materials are available.
• Help improve turnaround times and workshop efficiency.
• Support and motivate a team of around 15-20 people.
• Help with training and developing technicians.
• Make sure health & safety and 5S standards are followed.
• Ensure all paperwork and maintenance records are completed correctly.
• Make sure work is carried out in line with aviation regulations and procedures.
• Support audits and quality inspections.

• 3-5 years' experience in an aviation MRO environment.
• Experience with aircraft wheels, brakes or landing gear is preferred.
• Previous Team Leader or Supervisor experience is useful, but not essential.
• A good understanding of EASA Part 145, FAA Part 145 or CAA regulations.
• Good problem-solving and communication skills.
• Experience with Excel and/or an aviation MRO system such as AMOS, SAP or Quantum.
• A strong focus on safety, quality and attention to detail.

This is not an entry-level role - you'll need solid workshop/aviation experience and the ambition to move into leadership.
