• Experience working on Airbus programmes.
• Good understanding of Airbus methodologies and ways of working.
• Experience delivering engineering activities to project timelines.
• Strong organisation and time-management skills.
• Good technical literacy and confidence using relevant engineering tools and systems.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a wider engineering team.
