You might want to try flight dispatcher with the likes of Groundstar, Servisair/Globe Ground or Aviance; that would give you good knowledge of a/c performance, mass & balance and flight planning, plus an overview of turn-around duties. Try their websites - I'm not sure however that they would take on someone without experience, unless you have some sort of scientific/maths background. I got offered such jobs earlier this year but I have a frozen ATPL (didn't take up the offers 'cuz it was 20hrs/week and temporary so the money was no good).
Hope that helps.
Cheers
P.S.: you should post on the ground ops/dispatch forum for more info.
