The world is at your feet as a type instructor at KLM. You will teach colleagues how to work on the most beautiful aircraft in the world - from the Boeing 737 to the Airbus A350 - and pass your knowledge on to the next generation of aircraft engineers. In the Tech Training Center (TTC), you combine technology, teaching, and pride in craftsmanship. In this way, you help KLM remain airworthy - and leave a trail of mastery behind.

As a type instructor, you provide technical training to KLM maintenance staff and sometimes to external customers.
You ensure that they can work safely, accurately, and according to the highest standards on our fleet.

Furthermore:

• you provide training and exams on aircraft systems in both Dutch and English;
• you develop, update, and manage your teaching materials within your specialty;
• you guide trainees in their learning process, both in the classroom and on the shop floor;
• you collaborate on new training methods, such as VR- and AR-supported modules;
• you contribute to compliance with laws and regulations (Part-147, MTOE) and quality standards.

Job type: Regular

You get energy from transferring knowledge and know how to inspire others with your experience.
You combine technical depth with the ability to make complex matters understandable.
You work in a structured manner, think ahead, and enjoy collaborating with people who are just as passionate about aircraft as you are.

Furthermore, you have:

• a higher professional education (HBO) degree in a relevant technical field, or a valid B1 and/or B2 license with a type rating on at least two of the following aircraft: B737, B777, B787, A320, A330 or A350;

• planned insight and an eye for quality.

No TOR certification or teaching experience yet? No problem.
New instructors follow a Training of Trainers (TOR) program within the first year and are guided by experienced colleagues.
You will be given the time and space to develop your didactic skills while participating in practice.
This way, you will grow step by step into a fully qualified instructor within an internationally recognized Part-147 environment.
