Guidance

[fai2an]

Hi,
I am currently in my final year of BEng Mechanical Engineering and am considering a career as an aircraft engineer due to my love of aircrafts. Am not interested in joining RAF though
Could anyone guide me as to how can I go about doing that?
Would really appreciate a response.
Cheers

It also helps if you speak of more than one aircraft to say `aircraft`....not aircrafts.:ugh:

To keep post's like this to yourself (send a PM) would help the rest of us think you are not a prick. Obviously done out of self indulgence.

im in the same position myself buddy - all i can say is its going to take a long time. Experience seems to be the holy grail when it comes to any job in aviation.

Okay, my opinion for what its worth.

Your degree may open doors to get into a Tech Services or Planning role in aircraft maintenance but is of little use to actually working on the aircraft, For that you need to do a B1 or B2 Licence which would mean re-doing alot of the theory stuff you have already done. I got lucky 10 years ago and got into the industry with a degree working in Engineering Support, but now its a whole different ball game and opportunities seem to be filled with experienced staff.

Is there any reason you don't want to go the RAF route? Because it seems a good way of gaining expericience to supplement your qualifications.

Of course this is just the way I see it and others may disagree with me.
