Generate technical reports, cost estimates, and repair summaries in line with quoted scopes of work.

Assist in maintaining a compliant document archive system, including scanning and indexing of legacy records.

Work closely with engineering and materials teams to ensure accurate part tracking, repair status, and scrap handling.

What We're Looking For

Strong background in aerospace maintenance documentation or technical authorship.

Proficient in MS Office, particularly Excel and Word for report generation and data handling.

Highly detail-oriented with a commitment to documentation accuracy and process integrity.

Effective communicator capable of liaising with technical teams, suppliers, and quality personnel.

Familiarity with EASA, FAA, or equivalent airworthiness standards is an advantage.

Why Apply?

Join a collaborative and supportive engineering environment.

Flexible, part-time working suited to professionals seeking technical engagement without full-time hours.

On-site team culture with hybrid flexibility post-onboarding
