Each year, our airport facilitates the travel of over 4 million passengers to more than 80 destinations across Europe and stands as the leading provider of freight services in the UK. As part of the largest UK-owned airport operator group, MAG, our airport supports over 6,000 jobs and contributes approximately £300 million annually to the local economy.

At MAG, we believe that delivering an exceptional experience for our customers begins with fostering a rewarding career journey for our employees.

Key Responsibilities

Our Ground Lighting Engineers play a crucial role in ensuring airport safety. In this position, you will be responsible for the routine upkeep, alignment, and installation of all Airfield Ground Lighting systems, including High Mast Lighting, generators, and control systems, adhering to manufacturer guidelines and CAA/SRG standards.

Your primary duties will include:

  • Documenting and recording all maintenance, alignment, and installations as mandated by the Codes of Practice established by the Approved Maintenance Organisation.
  • Performing routine maintenance and installation of additional Airport Aeronautical Ground Lighting equipment as directed.
  • Carrying out other duties of a similar nature as assigned, in line with your training and expertise.
  • Attending training sessions as required to maintain the necessary competence for performing maintenance work on Aeronautical Ground Lighting to CAA/SRG standards.
  • Executing planned maintenance schedules.
  • Assisting in the efficient operation of the Airfield Engineering stores.

  • Ensuring all work complies with current Electrical Regulations and the Company's Quality Management procedures.

Qualifications for Success

This role is based on-site, and candidates should reside within a reasonable commuting distance. Ideally, you will possess experience as an electrical engineer or contractor electrician, having completed a recognized apprenticeship, such as NVQ3 in Electrical Installation. Fault-finding experience and 18th Edition (BS7671) qualification are essential.

We value a systematic approach to problem-solving, critical thinking skills, and the ability to take initiative. Strong verbal communication skills are crucial for effective interaction with contractors, Air Traffic Control, colleagues, and management. Proficient written communication skills are also necessary for producing accurate technical documentation and professional reports.

While prior experience in an Aerodrome or ATC environment is beneficial, it is not a requirement.
