As the nation’s flag carrier, we take great pride in connecting Britain with the world and the world with Britain.
It’s something we’ve been doing for over 100 years, ever since we launched the world’s first international scheduled air service between London and Paris.
Since then, British Airways has gone on to deliver game-changing achievements. First we broke the record for the fastest transatlantic flight with Concorde. Then we became the very first airline to introduce fully lie-flat seats on board.
It was our exceptional engineering teams that brought these pioneering and original ideas to life.
This is your chance to join one of the most diverse and innovative departments at British Airways, at a time when we’re re-imagining the way we fly the skies.
The role: Production Engineer
This is a fantastic opportunity to join the Heathrow-based Production Engineering team creating work instructions for aircraft maintenance at Heathrow, Gatwick and some overseas facilities.
What you’ll do:
As a Production Engineer, you will be responsible for composing and maintaining maintenance instructions for aircraft modifications, inspections and routine maintenance tasks for both base maintenance and the terminal operation. You will be working closely with our Technical, Maintenance Programmes, Supply Chain and Production departments, interpreting technical data in order to produce fully engineered tasks for our engineers.
What you’ll bring to British Airways:
To succeed in the role you will need to be familiar with aircraft maintenance practices, maintenance programmes, technical documentation and regulatory requirements. You will need to be a confident self-starter and have good attention to detail, strong communication and collaboration skills, identify and acting upon opportunities for process improvements.
What we offer:
As an airline, we never want to stand still. The same goes for our people.
We’re committed to upskilling our engineers and providing professional development training so you can progress in your area of expertise. That way, you’ll attain the highest levels of professional achievement as we continue to invest in new technology, equipment, and aircraft.
Training modules are offered through self-study courses, or structured learning programmes, and delivered at our state-of-the-art Learning Academy at London Heathrow.
When you work in an engineering role at British Airways, you’ll be joining a high-performance culture. It’s a time-pressured environment too, but the challenges here are exciting and diverse, and you’ll be part of projects you won’t find anywhere else. That’s what keeps our exceptional colleagues inspired to do their best work. We also offer fantastic rewards, including great staff travel benefits.
Inclusion & Diversity
At British Airways we all have a part to play in creating an inclusive place to work. Diverse representation among our people is really important to us and we recognise that all our colleagues are uniquely different and bring their own originality, creativity and identity to work.
Inclusion and diversity is a key driver of innovation and we’re committed to creating a culture where everyone feels that they can be themselves. We’re looking for people from all backgrounds and cultures to join us and be a part of our journey to become a Better BA as we continue to connect Britain with the world and the world with Britain
