Job at Babcock International Group in Peterborough, Peterborough, PE8

## Opportunity Review: Aircraft Handler at RAF Wittering

Are you an experienced aviation professional looking for a role that offers tangible impact and robust career development? Babcock International is seeking dedicated individuals to join their team as Aircraft Handlers at the RAF Wittering site, a key location serving Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.

This permanent, full-time position presents a unique chance to contribute to a secure and safe world, directly supporting critical operations. The role is more than just ground handling; it involves a comprehensive approach to aircraft readiness and flight line support.

Advantages for Candidates:

  • Meaningful Work: Play a vital role in supporting national security and defence operations, offering a strong sense of purpose and contribution.
  • Comprehensive Skill Development: The role goes beyond basic handling, encompassing Check A maintenance (once authorised), Ground Support Equipment (GSE) inspections, and meticulous documentation, fostering a well-rounded skillset.
  • Career Advancement: Babcock offers excellent development opportunities and a supportive benefits package, indicating a commitment to employee growth. The experience gained in both military and civilian EASA Part 145 environments is highly valued, opening doors for future aviation roles.
  • Attractive Benefits Package: Beyond a competitive salary of £25,979.39, candidates can expect a generous holiday allowance, a matched contribution pension scheme with life assurance, access to a Digital GP, an employee share scheme, and various shopping and wellbeing support services. The "Be Kind Day" initiative further highlights a commitment to employee wellbeing and community engagement.
  • Location and Flexibility: Based at RAF Wittering, this role offers the stability of a permanent, full-time position within a well-established organisation.

Key Considerations for Candidates:

  • Experience Requirements: Demonstrable experience in aircraft handling within military or EASA Part 145 environments is essential. Crucially, successful completion of the Grob 115E Handling Course and Check A Maintenance Course is a prerequisite.
  • Security Clearance: Candidates must be eligible to achieve and maintain Security Check (SC) security clearance. This is a critical aspect of the role due to the nature of the work within a defence establishment. Eligibility may be influenced by birthplace, nationality, and residency history.
  • Driving Licence: A full, clean UK driving licence is a mandatory requirement for this position.
  • Documentation and Procedures: A strong ability to interpret and apply military documentation and procedures is necessary for accurate and compliant operations.

This Aircraft Handler position at Babcock International is an excellent opportunity for experienced aviation professionals seeking a stable and rewarding career. The combination of hands-on operational experience, potential for further training and authorisation, and a comprehensive benefits package makes this a compelling prospect for those looking to advance their career in the aviation sector.
