Career Information

An aircraft maintenance engineer is fully responsible for ensuring an aircraft operates safely and in compliance towards the aircraft manufacturer maintenance standards. A license aircraft engineer may make maintenance repairs, troubleshoot problems on aircraft systems, conduct airworthiness inspections and make upgrades to aircraft parts or structures that relate to the continuity of an aircraft airworthiness. Daily duties may include keeping records of performed scheduled maintenance, making emergency repairs, or preparing for any required inspections.

Due to the extreme safety measures enforced for aircraft, aircraft license engineers must continually test newly installed equipment and components to ensure existing aircraft systems are properly maintained and functioning. Any carelessness or mistakes could result in fatal accidents during flights, so license aircraft engineers perform proper maintenance and put aircraft release into service.

Many candidates that have successfully completed EASA Part-66 aircraft licensing programs may pursue their career in various positions depending on which industry the aircraft engineer enters. For example, if working for an airline, an aircraft license engineer may be required to sign certificates of release and follow security procedures on a regular basis. Certifications are available but not a requirement. However, aircraft engineers seeking management or senior engineer positions often look into obtaining certification to increase their chances of promotion, such as type training or other training within the scope of aircraft maintenance.

Jobs as an aircraft license engineer are expected to grow higher than average by 3.5% from 2018-2028 due to market demands, aircraft production, and contributions towards tourism and business growth.

Airlines and independent companies that specialize in aircraft maintenance are the major employers of aircraft maintenance license engineers. Others work for small employers in general aviation, including business aviation, air taxis, the police, air ambulance, surveying, agriculture, and pilot training. Flying clubs also employ aircraft license engineers to maintain their general aviation aircraft. Some license aircraft engineers work on a freelance basis with more freedom in life.

Many small organizations only recruit trained engineers. It is usually large employers that offer training schemes, but competition for entry is intense. This is where UniKL MIAT, as one of the EASA foreign approved training organisations (EASA.147.0083), plays an important role in developing more License Aircraft Engineers to support rapid growth of the aviation industry locally and internationally. There is a global shortage of trained aircraft maintenance engineers, and holders of EASA Part-66 licenses are particularly in demand, especially B1.1, B1.3, and B2 license categories.

In future years, progression to senior and supervisor positions may be possible, particularly for license aircraft engineers. Further progression may lead to higher management positions such as Managers, General Manager, or even Vice President of a specifically related department. Some experienced license aircraft engineers may seek work with aircraft manufacturers in production fitting or in design and development, which can further advance their careers.
