Belcan Workforce Solutions is currently looking for a Static/F&DT Engineer to work for one of our clients based in Filton, UK. (This is an Inside IR35 contract only)

You will require 'Right to Work' in UK, unfortunately no sponsorship will be available for this role.

Are you ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role in the aerospace industry? Join our Structural Repair Manual (SRM) engineering team as a Static/F&DT Engineer and be part of a dynamic team responsible for delivering high-quality Wing Structural Repairs and defining allowable damage limits for the fixed wing box structure across all program variants.

What You'll Do:

Innovate and solve: Utilize your in-depth knowledge of Stress and F&DT analysis methods to support the repairs process and perform strength analyses for both metallic and composite aircraft structures. Collaborate and lead: Work closely with a small, dedicated team to ensure repair solutions conform to all relevant airworthiness requirements. Develop towards and ultimately attain repair signatory delegation.

Deliver excellence: Take ownership of your deliverables, ensuring tasks are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. Support the repairs department in initiatives such as LEAN to drive continuous improvement. Communicate and coordinate: Monitor and coordinate daily tasks according to customer priorities, and effectively communicate with stakeholders to ensure satisfaction with SRM team performance.

Key Responsibilities:

Provide high-quality, integrated, and certificated engineering repair solutions for inclusion in the Structural Repair Manual.
Create, compile, and coordinate Stress engineering documentation to achieve valid technical data for repairs.
Plan, monitor, and execute tasks to meet required quality and customer time scales.
Contribute to effective repair team operation using project management control and measures.
Implement incoming task requirements to meet customer programs and ensure outgoing tasking documents are consistent with departmental requirements.
Provide responses for routine SRM repairs queries, offering advice and guidance on repair matters.
Be a proactive member of an integrated engineering team, ensuring its strategy, policy, and directions are maintained.
Communicate effectively at all levels of the organization and across departments, setting objectives and priorities to time, cost, and quality.What We're Looking For:

Strong technical background in Static and F&DT Stress analysis. Excellent communication skills and the ability to develop towards repair signatory delegation. Good knowledge of static stress and F&DT assessment of repairs to metallic and composite aircraft structures. Sound understanding of aircraft production methods and processes. Flexible, reactive, and adaptable approach to work, thriving in high-pressure environments.

Space Sector Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

The UK space sector is no longer a niche curiosity. It is now a strategic industry worth billions, employing tens of thousands of people across nearly 2,000 organisations – and it has been growing faster than the wider UK economy for years. At the same time, employers report serious skills shortages, especially in software, data and systems engineering, with recruitment and retention now cited as key barriers to growth. For job seekers, this is encouraging – but it does not mean every space application is an easy win. For recruiters, competing for talent with tech, defence, energy and finance is only getting harder. This article, written for www.ukspacejobs.co.uk , explores the space sector hiring trends to watch in 2026, aimed at both: Job seekers searching for terms like “space jobs in the UK”, “satellite jobs UK”, or “space engineer roles”; and Recruiters and hiring managers interested in “space sector hiring trends” and “space recruitment UK”.

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.
