From the Flightline to the Classroom
Ready to pass on your knowledge?
This is a standout opportunity for experienced aviation engineers — particularly those from the Armed Forces — to transition into a rewarding instructor role, shaping the next generation of engineers across Europe’s leading maintenance organisations.
Aircraft Fitter - The Role
You’ll move from hands-on engineering into a structured training environment, delivering both theoretical and practical instruction.
Think: less spanners, more leadership, mentoring and knowledge transfer — without losing your technical edge.

* Instruct on specialist aviation technical skills
* Support exams as an Examiner / Invigilator
* Maintain and improve training materials and course content
* Work in a professional, learner-focused environment
Why This Suits Ex-Military
If you’ve come from:
* Royal Air Force (Aircraft Tech / Avionics / Mechanical)
* British Army REME (Aviation / Aircraft support)
* Royal Navy Air Engineering
You’ll already have:
✔ Structured training experience
✔ Strong technical foundation
✔ Instruction / mentoring exposure
✔ Safety-critical mindset
✔ Leadership and discipline
What We’re Looking For
* Aviation maintenance qualification
* Ideally an instructional qualification (training can be provided)
* Minimum 5 years industry experience
* Comfortable delivering training and engaging groups
* IT literate (MS Office)
* Full UK driving licence
* Able to pass enhanced DBS
Package
* £48,000 – £54,000 DOE
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays
* Pension scheme
* Cycle to work scheme
* Full-time, permanent
The Bottom Line
This is a proper transition role — ideal if you're looking to step away from the tools but still stay within aviation, using everything you’ve learned to develop others.
