Aircraft Maintenance Technician B1 or B2

Thanks to you, our planes are safe and ready for use on time. You oversee the flawless maintenance in our hangars (Schiphol East) or at the line (Schiphol Centre) by getting your hands dirty, directing your team of technicians, and keeping a close eye on everything. If the desired end result is at risk of not being achieved on time, you and your team intervene immediately. It is your responsibility to ensure that the aircrafts are ready for their new flight on schedule. Additionally you are responsible for:

• inspection, modification, and maintenance tasks.
• making decisions with a Certificate of Release to Service on whether an aircraft can safely take off.
• dealing with the latest aviation technologies.
• working on the newest Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
• providing technical guidance and ensure that colleagues perform their work safely.
• contributing to the development of your team members.
