Ready to impact a better future?
As a Propulsion Technician in our Typhoon Propulsion Support Facilities team, you’ll help keep the RAF Typhoon platform mission‑ready by ensuring EJ200 engines and accessories are expertly maintained and fully serviceable.
Working at the forward–depth interface, you’ll play a key role in delivering maintenance solutions that directly support national defence capability. Your work has purpose — creating impactful solutions that help protect communities, support the future of aviation, and ensure our colleagues can trust in the equipment they rely on every day.
What you’ll do as a Propulsion Technician
You’ll be entrusted to:
Safely move all assets throughout the TPSF, including using forklifts and cranes
Unpack and re‑pack engines and line‑replaceable items (LRIs) as required
Conduct visual and boroscope inspections on engines and associated hardware
Perform EJ200 engine repairs
Remove, install, and repair engine modules and accessories
Embody outstanding engineering instructions and modifications
Complete data tasks on engine and aircraft electronic systems, including raising and recording work orders
Maintain a tidy, well‑equipped workshop using 5S principles
Improve processes to ensure compliance with Military Aviation Authority (MAA) regulations
Maintain competency and currency on EJ200 engines, across both practical and data processes
Complete any additional duties as directed by the Propulsion Operations Lead or DE&S Management Team

Experience of engine maintenance within an operational environment

Attention to detail and a proactive, positive work ethic
Good communication skills and the confidence to work with initiative in line with technical documentation
IT literacy and the ability to learn new systems
This role requires Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance, which involves verifying your identity, employment history, nationality, and criminal record to meet government security standards.
