At Schiphol Centrum, one aircraft arrives at the gate after another. You and your colleagues ensure that the aircraft depart on time and to the full satisfaction of the crew, because you have performed a so-called P-inspection and ensured that everything is in order. Additionally, you ensure that the administration is completed for departure. This can be done perfectly on the iPad at the aircraft. Subsequently, you take on the next challenge, perhaps on a different type at a different gate. You do this by performing maintenance work according to the book, providing technical guidance, and certifying. Naturally, in line with safety requirements, various regulations, and within your scope.

You also make an active contribution to optimizing maintenance processes. Because by making our department structurally a little better, we can continue to live up to our position as a leading player in aircraft maintenance.

Vacancy type: Regular
