You will use your people skills to liaise between the maintenance crews and manufacturers, interpret their problems and explain them in words that both sides can understand.

You will liaise with aircraft manufacturers and talk over solutions with their engineers. You will be actively involved in design problems and will work closely with the mechanics to find effective solutions.

Your job will be less “hands on” than the structural maintenance crew, but you could be involved in assessing physical damage to an aircraft fuselage, reconfiguring a galley arrangement or modifying structural systems.

You’ll be writing detailed reports on structural problems and coming up with strategies to make effective modifications. If you like diagnosis, are design-oriented and can show initiative, then this job could be very rewarding.
