Aerospace Systems Engineer - Simulations & Bids

This excellent opportunity is open to UK and EU nationals.

Job description

Want to join an aerospace MRO with a welcoming and friendly culture? They're more than just colleagues.

Would you like to carry out Non-destructive Testing in an environment that encourages fun and professional development?

Sound like a pipe dream? No, my client recognises that it had to develop such a culture so that employees commit to the long term.

They're a global player in the field of aircraft maintenance. They continually strive for improved maintenance solutions for the world's air fleet.

It's a job with variety, working on a wide portfolio of aircraft. That is, on live aircraft, and not the same panels in a factory.

The Netherlands offers expats a high quality of life, with a low crime rate and friendly locals. English is widely spoken.

Excellent transport, great work-life balance, an open attitude to culture and diversity, and an excellent education system all help to explain why many people make the decision to move there. Factor in how happy the general population are too (it's been ranked the 5th happiest country in the world) then you can see that it's a great place to live.

There is a tax discount for outside EU migrants for 5 years. It's called the 30% tax rule. What's that?

The 30% ruling means that 30% of the gross salary can be paid out tax-free as a non-taxable allowance. This is intended to cover the additional costs an international employee incurs when working and living in the Netherlands.

If you want to know more, feel free to contact me for an informal chat:

Paul Morgan.

Job benefits

  • 40 days holiday per year

  • A challenging international working environment

  • A lot of room for professional and personal growth

  • 'Fun colleagues (trust us, we are not biased)', my client's words.

    Job requirements

  • Proven experience conducting non-destructive testing within an aerospace setting.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.

  • Effective communication skills, both written and verbal.

  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.

    Job responsibilities

  • Perform a diverse range of non-destructive tests, including ultrasonic, eddy current, magnetic particle, and dye penetrant testing.

  • Interpret and assess test results to identify defects, anomalies, or irregularities in materials and components.

  • Ensure strict adherence to industry standards, codes, and safety regulations.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address and resolve quality and safety-related issues.

  • Conduct on-site or shop inspections and tests to ensure the highest standards of quality.

UK Space Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

The UK space sector is no longer a niche reserved for astronauts and rocket scientists. It is a broad, fast-growing industry covering satellites, Earth observation, navigation, telecoms, space data, launch services, space sustainability and defence-related capability. That breadth creates genuine career opportunities for professionals switching careers in their 30s, 40s or 50s — especially in roles where delivery, quality, operations, safety, regulation and customer outcomes matter as much as pure engineering. This article gives you a UK reality check: what space jobs actually look like, which roles are realistic for career switchers, what skills UK employers value, how long retraining tends to take and whether age is a barrier (usually far less than people fear).

How to Write a Space Industry Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

The UK space sector is growing rapidly. From satellite manufacturing and launch services to Earth observation, space data, communications and downstream applications, organisations across the UK are hiring engineers, scientists, software specialists and operations professionals to support increasingly complex space missions. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Space industry job adverts often receive very few applications, or attract candidates whose experience does not align with the realities of space programmes. At the same time, experienced space professionals frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, over-ambitious or disconnected from how space projects actually operate. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Space professionals are systems-focused, risk-aware and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak programme maturity and unrealistic expectations. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, technical seriousness and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a space industry job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the UK space sector.

Maths for Space Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

UK space careers can look intimidating from the outside. Job adverts mention “systems engineering” “mission assurance” “GN&C” “RF” “payloads” “flight dynamics” “verification” “ECSS” & suddenly you’re wondering if you need a maths degree just to apply. You don’t. For most UK space jobs, the maths you actually use clusters into a handful of practical topics that map directly to real work across satellites, launch, ground segment, downstream data, mission ops & space software. This article strips it down to what matters most for job readiness plus a 6-week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can use immediately. UK space is also actively focused on growth & skills. The government’s National Space Strategy sets ambitions to grow the UK’s space ecosystem & spread employment across the UK. The Space Sector Skills Survey 2023 highlights recruitment challenges plus the importance of new skills & technologies including AI & ML. Recent industry reporting also estimates UK space industry employment at 55,550 FTEs plus wider supply-chain jobs. So learning the right maths is not an academic exercise. It’s a practical way to widen the roles you can credibly target.
