Why Work Here?

This role offers a focused contract opportunity with a clear project timeline and the chance to work on a significant heavy maintenance program for a widebody aircraft. You will benefit from a fully covered accommodation and relocation package, making it easier to work away from home. The operation supports a 24/7 schedule, providing regular access to overtime, with overtime hours compensated at an enhanced rate after a standard workweek.

You will work in a professional, structured maintenance environment where safety, quality, and technical excellence are prioritized, and where your specialized avionics skills are highly valued.

Work Environment

You will work on the hangar floor at an airbase environment, performing maintenance on Airbus A310 aircraft during scheduled heavy checks. The operation runs 24/7, with two primary 10-hour shifts: a day shift from 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM and an afternoon shift from 12:30 PM to 11:00 PM, rotating approximately every two weeks. The contract is structured around multiple heavy check periods, including an initial check from early January to late February, a second check from late April to late August, and a third check planned from October through March, concluding by the end of the first quarter of 2028.

The setting is a structured hangar maintenance environment where adherence to safety protocols, controlled goods regulations, and standard maintenance practices is essential. You should expect to wear appropriate safety and work attire suitable for a hangar and airbase setting and to work in a hands-on, physically active role around large aircraft and maintenance equipment.
