This varied role will be to inspect and identify damage and wear to flying controls removed from Airbus and Boeing Large commercial aircraft from around the world.
The role is a blend of hands on disassembly and inspection plus computer based research and generation of paper based work packs.
The Junior Inspector will also be trained to generate the Repair Quotation for the work.
Working with some of the world’s leading Aircraft Component Inspectors, you will receive one to one training to be able to use hand tools and carry out inspections.
This is an indoor workshop based role working on components removed from the aircraft and not working on the aircraft itself.

The main duties include:

• Carrying out inspections of Aircraft Removable Structural Components. (Looking for damage, wear, corrosion and non-conformity to part number).
• Using Inspection tools to aid inspections such as Calipers, Micrometers, Depth gauges, Bore gauges, Optical Micrometers, Video Boroscope and 3D scanning.
• Using hand tools to carry out some initial disassembly to aid inspection. Use hand tools to remove wear / corrosion to help determine if this falls within limits.
• Determine what wear/damage can be repaired i.a.w. published Airbus or Boeing Repair Data. (Component Maintenance Manual, Structural Repair Manual, Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Drawings, Process Specifications, Technical and Material Datasheets)
• Determine what wear damage is likely to be able to be repaired by contacting Airbus or Boeing for an out of scope repair
• Evaluate if wear damage is likely to be able to be repaired by creation of an EASA Part 21J or FAA DER Repair scheme
• Determine what wear/damage is likely to be beyond repair.
• Determine if the scope and extent of the work falls within the capabilities and approvals of the organisation
• Create workpack based on the above information which allows Technicians to step through the repair of the item.
• Create the quotation for the repair of the part w.r.t. Hours, Materials and sub-contracted processes.
• Liaising with Boeing and Airbus regarding on-going repairs
• Assisting in the design of tooling, jigs and fixtures
• Liaising with external service providers
• Co-ordinating with various departments to manage repair through each stage
• Carrying out final release to service and sign off Certificate of Release to Service for EASA/FAA/CAA
