Engine Trend Analysis Manager in Basingstoke, Hampshire

Aviation Engineering | Gas Turbine Engines | Technical Analysis

An unusual opportunity for an experienced aircraft gas turbine engineer to move into a specialist technical role focused on engine performance, diagnostics and trend analysis.

Rather than being hands-on with the engine, you'll use operational and performance data to identify developing issues, investigate anomalies and provide customers with early warning of potential engine problems.

If you understand gas turbine engines, enjoy fault-finding and have a naturally analytical brain, this could be a very interesting next step.

You'll be responsible for monitoring and analysing aircraft engine performance data, using specialist systems to identify trends and potential technical issues.

You'll also:

• Carry out Gas Path Analysis and engine trend monitoring

• Evaluate engine performance data and investigate anomalies

• Identify potential problems and issue technical alerts where required

• Provide technical support to aircraft operators and internal teams

• Manage the processing, evaluation and reporting of customer data

• Liaise with customers on technical and operational issues

• Support and supervise the day-to-day monitoring service

• Work closely with other engineering, operations and IT specialists

You'll also periodically act as Duty Manager, providing remote out-of-hours technical support as part of a rota for a service operating 24/7.

You'll need a strong background in aircraft gas turbine engineering, ideally backed by an Aeronautical Engineering degree, aircraft engineering licence or equivalent practical experience.

We're particularly interested in people with:

• Aircraft gas turbine engine experience

• Strong diagnostic and fault-finding skills

• Engine performance or trend monitoring knowledge

• An analytical and logical approach

• Good IT skills and confidence working with technical data

• Experience in a position carrying meaningful technical responsibility

• The flexibility to participate in an out-of-hours support rota

Experience with Honeywell, Pratt & Whitney Canada, GE or Rolls-Royce engines would be particularly useful.

This is a chance to use your aircraft engine knowledge in a very different way.

You'll move away from purely hands-on maintenance and into a specialist role where your understanding of engine behaviour can help identify problems before they become serious operational issues.

If you're an experienced aviation engineer who enjoys diagnostics, data and figuring out why an engine is behaving the way it is, we'd like to hear from you.
