Job Description

Want to get your career off to a flying start? The sky’s the limit with TUI. We’re the world's number one tourism business, operating in around 180 destinations worldwide, which means limitless global opportunities for you and your future.

As a placement in Engineering, you’ll spend an invaluable year working right at the heart of our business – with real responsibilities, and the chance to work on real projects. You’ll gain a unique insight into our exciting and dynamic industry, with exposure to many other functional areas and senior colleagues, as well as the opportunity to enhance your professional skills through an extensive and tailored programme of learning and development. You’ll have lots of fun during your time with us, and we’ll ensure you get the support you need every step of the way.

What you’ll be doing

Our Aviation Engineering and Maintenance team is a European-wide function, responsible for the maintenance and safety of all aircraft to ensure they keep flying safely and on time. The team schedule aircraft back into our main base in Luton at least once every 24 months for their ‘MOT’ as well as regular checks at the bases before releasing for flight.

During your Engineering placement, you’ll be a core part of our Aviation Engineering and Maintenance team, based in our heavy maintenance facility – Hangar 61 in Luton. Although you won’t be working the aircraft ‘hands on’, you’ll get involved with undertaking all aspects of supporting aircraft maintenance for a number of European airlines within TUI Group, gaining unparalleled experience by working with cutting-edge technologies across a number of teams in many different capacities. But it doesn’t stop there.

As well as maintenance itself, you’ll manage proposed maintenance requirements that are received in the form of a work package, re-arranging these requirements into the most efficient order for production. You’ll plan and chair input meetings, ready for the aircraft to arrive in the hangar, as well as controlling the paperwork for the aircraft, ensuring it’s been correctly completed and compiled. You’ll also deal with any technical queries, ensuring they go to the correct team, and that they’re answered and closed.

You’ll support with undertaking paperwork audits, estimating and pricing the maintenance required, and ensure everything is captured and cross-charged to the various operators of the aircraft within the TUI Group. Acting as a customer liaison with the operators, you’ll deal with both commercial and technical queries, as well as communicating on the progress of the maintenance. Throughout your placement, there will also be opportunities to lead on continuous improvement projects.
