This exciting and varied post sits within our Modifications Department, working in tandem with UK military Delivery Teams and Front Line Commands to deliver new and upgraded capability across all UK military aviation platforms. The Department ensures UK helicopter, fixed wing and Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) fleets have the equipment and technology needed to help protect the UK and our Armed Forces from constantly evolving, real world threats. The Department delivers assured industry standard aircraft modifications in support of urgent operational and safety requirements, using modern techniques including 3D scanning, 3D printing, and integrated CAD/CAM. The team design all aspects of modifications from early prototyping, scoping and planning installations, integrating systems, through to manufacturing and flying trials. Examples include introducing new communications, navigation, avionics, proximity alert systems and adapting role equipment fits, such as medical casualty evacuation capability.
Travel opportunities to additional sites, off-site trials, conferences and visits to external partners will be a part of your role.
