Mechanical Fitters & Mechanical Inspectors
Location: Aberdeen
Permanent Positions | Relocation Support Available
This is more than simply joining an established workshop.
Following major new contract awards, an established gas turbine repair and overhaul specialist is launching a brand-new LM2500 product line in Aberdeen, supported by a newly equipped facility specifically developed for the programme.
This is an opportunity to join at the very beginning of this new capability, becoming part of the specialist team that will help establish and develop the LM2500 operation.
The business recognises that experienced LM2500 personnel may not currently be based in Aberdeen and is therefore conducting a UK-wide search, with relocation support available for suitable candidates.
If you have previous LM2500 fitting, overhaul or inspection experience, I'd be very interested in hearing from you.
