I am currently working for one of Europes largest airframe manufacturers as a systems engineer. Although exciting for some, I find I have become an MS Office engineer more than a systems engineer with days of endless paperwork generation and descriptive accounts of how the systems are supposed to work!
I am searching for the world beyond MS Office into a more practical, airport-based engineering role. My concern is that this may require a large amount of re-training to get a ‘more practical’ qualification.
My current qualifications are a MEng degree in Aeronautical Engineering plus 5 years of systems design work, flight test and some product support. I am ideally looking for work with real aircraft (not paper ones) and have turned to the brains at PPRUNE for some inspiration.
Any ideas on roles for an engineer trying to do real engineering?
