British Airways is looking for Mechanical, Electrical or Aeronautical Engineering graduates with at least a 2:1 degree, who are committed to a career in aviation and have the potential to tackle the serious challenges the business is facing.
The Engineering Professionals Programme aims to inject new talent into the Engineering technical support function in order to address the challenges facing the business. You must also be prepared to spend some time in the various aircraft/engine technical support areas as part of the development programme.
All applicants will be asked to submit their CV and answer the Application questions:
1. From your experiences to date which areas of aeronautical technical engineering interests you the most? Please indicate your first, second and third choice from:
Structures � Airframe design
Systems � Hydraulic/Pneumatic, electrical
Avionics � Flight data, Navigation
Powerplant � Engines, APU�s
Interiors � Cabin/seat design
2. Please explain why you have applied for this engineering technical role and what knowledge, skills and experiences you will bring to BA? (Max 250 words)
3. As an engineering professional, you have been asked to join a newly established project. The objective of the project is to deliver two standard BA 757 aircraft in a Business, Premium Economy and Economy configuration. Additionally, because of the proposed destination range and route for the operation, the aircraft need to be certified for Extended Twin Operations (ETOPS). What questions would you ask about the project in your first few days? (max 350 words)
Requirements
In order to apply you must :
* Have the right to live and work in the UK indefinitely and without restriction
* Have a 2:1 degree in either Mechanical, Electrical or Aeronautical Engineering (or expect to by September 2008)
* Be able to demonstrate knowledge of and interest in aviation
Responsibilities
The Engineering support teams that support our global business are centred in four UK locations: Heathrow, Gatwick, Cardiff and Glasgow.
Our programme, and you, will initially be based in Heathrow with 300 like-minded and talented people. But you'll be very much a part of everything going on, and will also work closely with colleagues at the other locations.
This entry-level programme is a maximum of 2 years and we've designed it with one thing in mind: you. It's structured so that you work with a broad cross-section of our Engineering technical teams and gain a true overview of what we all do. That way, once you've completed all of your placements, you'll be able to decide whether you want to be an Airframe technical support engineer or Powerplant technical support engineer, in one of our Engineering technical teams.
For Aircraft there are three six-month placements, one in each of the following areas:
Engineering Services � This will give you experience in a design world where you will be introduced to new technologies, compiling modifications and repairs and certification requirements.
Aircraft Maintenance Technical � Here, you'll get involved with how the aircraft maintenance scheduled is developed and controlled, and how compliance with mandatory and routine data requirements are met.
Heavy Maintenance Technical - Working at one of our heavy maintenance facilities, you'll understand the aircraft technical issues as they arise during the maintenace check, and working with the airframe manufacturer, identify innovative solutions that keep the check schedule.
For Powerplant there are opportunities to gain experience in a number of areas:
Engine Management � our team manage one of the world�s largest fleets of main engines and APUs. You�ll learn how we ensure the safety and reliability of the BA engine fleet, and our long-term engine management practices that deliver world-class cost of ownership. You�ll gain an insight into how we integrate our technical requirements with innovative commercial arrangements and strict financial governance.
Powerplant Operational Support � here, you'll work alongside our Ops Support engineers to protect the daily operation of our engines and APUs. You�ll be dealing with defects reported on the day, together with the shorter term engine management issues. This is a dynamic environment that requires sound technical decision-making under tight timescale pressure.
Overhaul Support � external suppliers overhaul all of our engines and APUs. You�ll spend time with our team located at our largest overhaul provider, GE Aircraft Engine Services in South Wales. Here you�ll gain unique access to the engine internal hardware, and learn our techniques for intelligent work scoping and delivering reliability while controlling costs.
Powerplant Asset Management � this team manages the logistics of over 300 engine and APU movements per year, dealing with external and internal suppliers to ensure we always have the right engine available to support BA operations. The team includes our on-site engine repair facility and engine health monitoring laboratory, where you can gain hands-on experience of typical engine defects.
Throughout the placements you'll work on a variety of real projects: everything from new design concepts to the technology and processes being introduced into the new aircraft build. But you're far from alone on these. Aside from the friendly and experienced teams you'll work with, you'll be coached by experienced mentors and have relevant training and developmental support as well.
The Individual
You'll be working on real challenges, so you'll need to be able to take responsibility for your own work and development as your training progresses. As a result, you'll need to think logically, showing strong analytical, problem solving and clear communication skills. But that's not all. You'll also need to be flexible, open-minded, inquisitive and aware of the business issues behind each project.
We'll be making offers in August with a start date in late October 2008.
