We are currently on the look out for a Customer Account Manager for an international aerospace engineering business to join their growing commercial team in Prestwick. This role is ideal for someone from the aerospace MRO sector, who enjoys building long-term relationships with key accounts rather than chasing sales targets.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage and grow key MRO customer accounts across EMEA & Asia

  • Act as the main point of contact for customers from commercial negotiations to performance reviews

  • Lead internal cross-functional teams to support customer programs

  • Collaborate with Contracts and Program Management on proposals, pricing, and agreements

  • Provide accurate sales forecasts and identify new opportunities within existing accounts

    Who We’re Looking For:

  • Aerospace industry experience (ideally 2+ years in commercial, MRO, or customer-facing roles)

  • Strong understanding of repair & overhaul contract models and customer expectations

  • Confident working across functions and presenting to senior stakeholders

  • Strategic, detail-oriented, and a natural relationship builder

  • Willingness to travel internationally as needed

    Why Join?

    This is a global leader in energy control systems with a strong engineering heritage and an excellent reputation in the aerospace sector. Their team is driven by values, and they invest heavily in both career development and employee wellbeing.

    Package Includes:

  • Competitive salary + annual performance bonus

  • 29 days holiday + public holidays

  • 9% employer pension contribution

  • Private medical, dental, income protection & life assurance

  • Hybrid working (ideally 2–3 days onsite)

    Sound like you?

Where to Advertise Space Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise space jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, agency channels and community routes that reach satellite, propulsion and launch talent. The candidate pool spans satellite engineers, propulsion specialists, mission analysts, ground segment software developers, space systems architects and commercial space professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary community that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest space candidates are often embedded in ESA programmes, academic research groups, UK Space Agency-funded projects or established primes, and move between roles through sector-specific networks, industry bodies and conference communities rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise space industry roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Space Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Space Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the UK space sector hiring trends shaping satellites, launch, Earth observation and space data careers. The UK space sector is in the middle of something that feels genuinely historic. A combination of government commitment, private capital, and technological progress has transformed Britain's position in the global space economy from a capable but secondary player into a nation with serious sovereign ambitions — and a jobs market that is expanding to match them. This is not the space industry of previous generations, defined by a small number of government agencies, a handful of prime contractors, and career pathways accessible only to a narrow band of elite engineers and scientists. The new space economy is broader, faster-moving, and more commercially driven than anything the sector has previously seen. Satellite manufacturing has been democratised by small sat technology. Launch is becoming domestic. Space data is flowing into applications across agriculture, insurance, climate monitoring, maritime, and defence at a scale that is creating entirely new categories of commercial hiring. And the defence and national security dimensions of space have elevated the sector's strategic importance to a degree that is driving sustained public investment in the talent pipeline. For job seekers, the UK space jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is both more accessible and more technically demanding than at any previous point. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which programmes are moving from development into operation, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern space systems, and how the definition of a space career is expanding well beyond the spacecraft engineering core toward a much wider ecosystem of roles across the full space value chain. This article breaks down what the UK space jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting sectors in the UK economy.
