Description
Must have good numeracy and literacy skills, be flexible with regards to work, and be able to work as part of a team. Previous experience in engineering or a workshop an advantage but not essential as full training can be provided. Main duties will be to assist fitters in repairing and overhauling aviation safety equipment. Own transport required due to location of company.


Don't want much do they? I mean in such a critical area of aviation operations do they really think they are going to find anyone of the right calibre? Having worked in this field myself I doubt it. I wonder what level of confidence it inspires in Joe Public, knowing that the guy who serviced and / or repaired the life raft / escape slide they may have to use could actually earn more working for the local pizza outlet, but his qualifications weren't up to that. I despair.

pass the valium -no not those, the BIG ones.Aaah that's better.
