Introduction:

Boeing are looking for highly skilled and motivated B2 Licensed Engineers to join the Boeing team to support the Production Supplier on-site at the modification location.

In March 2019, the UK Mod signed a $1.98Bn (£1.51Bn) deal with Boeing to purchase the E-7 Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning (AEW) Mk1 aircraft. The E-7 fleet will replace the current E-3D Sentry aircraft and ensure the continued delivery of the UK’s Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) capability. The aircraft will enter service in 2024 and will be operated from RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland. Being based upon the 737, the platform offers significant savings in training and maintenance, as well as extremely high reliability.


The Wedgetail AEW Mk1 is based upon the highly successful 737-700 IGW NG aircraft and requires a significant modification Programme to convert it into a high-end mission system capability. To continue its commitment to the United Kingdom prosperity, Boeing is undertaking the modification at a UK location by a workforce comprised of both Boeing and subcontracted engineers and maintenance technicians in a suitably approved and equipped Maintenance Repair Organisation (MRO).

  • Support the Lead Engineer with the day to day running of their allocated zone and deputise during periods of absence.
  • Actively support, promote and contribute to continuous improvement ideas and lean principles.
  • Undertake any reasonable activities as required, including working away from Birmingham.

Required Qualifications:

  • Hold a valid UK CAA Category B1 or B2 Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance License.
