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.

  • 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

  • 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.

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.

UK Space Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Space Department

The UK space sector is rapidly expanding. With growth in satellite design, Earth observation, communications, launch systems, space science, downstream applications, and regulatory and operational services, there’s rising demand for skilled professionals across many disciplines. Building a high-impact space organisation requires well-defined team structures, clear roles, strong collaboration, and alignment across engineering, science, operations, regulation, and commercial functions. If you are applying for roles via UKSpaceJobs.co.uk or hiring into your company, this guide will help you understand the principal roles you’ll find in a space team, how they interact during mission lifecycles, what skills UK employers expect, salary norms, common challenges, and best practice for structuring space teams that succeed.
