Please note we are looking to conduct telephone interviews between the 2nd - 20th March and hosting our assessment day 30th April / 1st May.

Candidates will need to be aged 17 by July 1st 2027 due to working in an aircraft hangar environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an apprenticeship programme (3-4 year duration), leading to a nationally recognised Level 3 apprenticeship qualification in Aeronautical Engineering .

For the first 9 months, you will spend your time with our training partner Resource Group studying for your UK CAA Part-66 Category A1 Licence modules, coupled with hands on practical experience in dedicated workshops and a training hangar facility. Accommodation will be provided by AirTanker in close proximity to Cotswold Airport to facilitate focused study.

Months 10-48 will be spent with AirTanker based at RAF Brize Norton, furthering the skills you have developed with Resource Group and gaining valuable maintenance experience for you to be able to complete your Level 3 NVQ portfolio and achieve End Point Assessment. During years 3/4 you will be assigned to a dedicated shift, to gain a deeper understanding of the Airbus A330 Line and Base Maintenance environments under the direct supervision of a qualified Mentor and Engineer.

AirTanker offer an exciting engineering career path. Upon successful completion of your Apprenticeship there may be opportunities to join AirTanker as a fully qualified Technician within our Line and Base Maintenance teams, with future Licensed Engineer and Shift Management prospects.
