Structural Repair Engineer (Stress)

Location: Bristol

Salary: £60,000 DOE

Shift pattern: Monday – Friday

We are seeking a skilled Structural Repair Engineer (Stress) to play a key role in ensuring the timely and safe return-to-service of commercial aircraft. In this position, you will develop optimal structural repair solutions that balance operational time, cost efficiency and the highest standards of product safety.

Working from a design and/or stress perspective, you will engage the right stakeholders to assess in-service damages—both accidental and those arising from aging—and deliver robust, compliant repair dispositions. This is an opportunity to contribute directly to aircraft airworthiness within a collaborative, global engineering environment focused on excellence in aerospace structural integrity.

Key responsibilities

• Provide stress justification and optimal repair solutions for in-service wing damages, ensuring timely return-to-service while considering time, cost and safety.
• Locate and interpret relevant data (including Stress Aircraft Certification Documents, Stress Technical Reports and related technical literature) to accurately assess aircraft damage and repair options.
• Perform hand calculations for stress analysis to evaluate repair solutions in accordance with Airbus standards.
• Prepare Technical Dispositions (TD), SAS and TAS documentation.
• Apply sound knowledge of SRM chapters, repair principles, aircraft materials, fastener types and associated rules.
• Demonstrate strong understanding of aircraft design principles, wing structure and load paths.
• Work with Airbus documentation including drawings, technical notes, manuals, Service Bulletins and the SRM.
• Apply knowledge of the repair process within the TRM.
• Interact with Stress DTRs (Signatories) to obtain technical clarifications and agree decisions on repair proposals.
• Collaborate effectively with a global team, including virtual coordination and knowledge sharing with offshore stress resources.
• Ensure all repairs are completed on schedule while maintaining the highest standards of aircraft safety.

The person / Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (Aerospace or Mechanical preferred).
• Proven experience in wing in-service repairs and the provision of stress justification for both accidental and aging-related damages.
• Solid understanding of in-service and operator requirements.
• Familiarity with aircraft materials, fastener systems, design principles and wing structural load paths.
• Experience working with Airbus technical documentation (drawings, technical notes, manuals, Service Bulletins, SRM, etc.).
• Knowledge of the repair process in the TRM.
• Ability to perform hand stress calculations and prepare technical disposition documentation to the required standard.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including liaison with Stress DTRs and coordination across global and offshore teams.
• Comfortable working in a virtual collaborative environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a team that prioritises safety, technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving in the commercial aerospace sector. If you are ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role that directly supports aircraft airworthiness, we would love to hear from you.
