Aviation Maintenance Engineer – Lelystad

Full-time | 36-40 hours | Permanent | Day shift | No shift work | Amsterdam Lelystad Airport | SPECTO Aerospace

Currently working as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, Aircraft Maintenance Technician, or Aviation Technician and want to continue using your technical knowledge but no longer work in 24/7 shift work? Then this position as Aviation Maintenance Engineer at SPECTO Aerospace in Lelystad could be an interesting next step for you.

You won't be working on the line with us, but on specialized repair preparation of aircraft components (composite & sheet metal). You assess damages, work with official documentation, prepare damage assessments, and ensure that repairs are technically well-prepared for the workshop. All in day shift. No shift work.

What will you be doing?

As an Aviation Maintenance Engineer, you are the technical conscience ensuring a complete technical solution for the workshop to carry out the repair and for the sales department to proceed. You work on composite parts, sheet metal parts, and hybrid constructions for civil and military aviation. You use official documentation, maintain contact with OEM parties such as Boeing and Airbus, and prepare FAA-DER and Part-21 applications where necessary.

When a damage assessment leads to an assignment, you follow the process further. You instruct colleagues in the workshop through a work order and work meetings, you monitor the technical agreements and ensure that the repair is carried out and delivered in accordance with the correct requirements.

Specifically, you will be involved in:

• Inspecting and assessing damages to aircraft components

• Preparing damage assessments and repair proposals

• Preparing and optimizing technical work instructions

• Working with official documentation, manuals, and aviation standards

• Coordinating with your colleagues in the workshop departments, customers, and manufacturers

What do we offer you?

At SPECTO Aerospace, you will have a specialized role in aviation engineering, but with more peace and regularity than you might be used to. You work in day shift, no shift work, and have the opportunity to further deepen your technical knowledge within aerospace and MRO.

You can expect the following from us:

• A salary between € 3,000 and € 4,700 gross per month

• A permanent position for 36 to 40 hours per week

• Day shift, no shift work

• 44 days off and 8% holiday pay

• Employment conditions according to the Metalektro Collective Labor Agreement, including pension scheme and travel allowance for all kilometers

• Room for education, development, and technical deepening

Additionally, you will work in a modern MRO environment at Amsterdam Lelystad Airport, with short lines, a lot of craftsmanship, and a committed working atmosphere. At SPECTO Aerospace, we work based on our core values: People First, Reliable, Craftsmanship, Ingenuity, and Ownership. You can see this in how we collaborate, take responsibility, and deliver quality.

This position is particularly interesting if you come from aircraft maintenance and want to broaden your aviation technical knowledge. You stay close to the technology but have more influence on preparation, assessment, documentation, and process guidance.

At SPECTO Aerospace, you will work on aircraft components for civil and military aviation, in a modern MRO environment at Amsterdam Lelystad Airport.
