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

  • 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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Space Sector Job Applications (UK Guide)

The space industry is one of the most exciting and multidisciplinary sectors in technology and engineering today. Whether you’re applying for roles in spacecraft design, aerospace systems, robotics, satellite communications, mission operations, payload engineering, space software, ground systems, or scientific research, your application must quickly show hiring managers that you are relevant, technically credible and ready to deliver. In the UK space jobs market — spanning organisations from startups to defence primes, agencies, research labs and commercial constellations — hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. They scan applications rapidly, often making a judgement about whether to read further within the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in space sector applications, how they assess CVs and portfolios, why specific signals matter, and how you can position your experience to stand out on www.ukspacejobs.co.uk .

The Skills Gap in UK Space Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

The UK space sector is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing high-tech industries in the world. From Earth observation and satellite communications to space robotics, launch systems and deep-space exploration, the breadth of opportunity is enormous. The UK Government’s ambition to capture a significant share of the global space economy has driven investment, policy support and a wave of innovative companies — both established and start-up. Yet despite strong academic programmes and a pipeline of graduates with relevant degrees, employers in the UK space sector consistently report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not prepared for real-world space industry jobs. This is not a matter of intelligence or motivation. Rather, it reflects a growing skills gap between what universities are teaching and what employers actually need from space professionals. In this article, we’ll explore why that gap exists, what universities are doing well, where they fall short, what employers want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in the UK space sector.

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).
