Product Review Engineer in Heath

An opportunity has arisen with our globally renowned aerospace client for a Mechanical or Avionic/Electrical Product Review Engineer to join their Engineering team in Birmingham.

Reporting to the Design & Production Engineering Manager, the successful candidate will provide engineering support throughout aircraft production, resolving manufacturing and design non-conformances while ensuring continued airworthiness, product quality and regulatory compliance.

This role requires a proactive engineer who is comfortable working both within the engineering office and on the production floor, collaborating closely with manufacturing, installation and design teams to deliver practical engineering solutions.

Responsibilities

• Investigate manufacturing and design non-conformances (NCRs), conducting root cause and failure analysis to determine appropriate engineering dispositions.
• Develop interim and permanent engineering solutions to resolve production, quality and operational issues in accordance with the client's design standards.
• Produce authorised repair instructions, engineering procedures and technical guidance to support aircraft production and maintenance activities.
• Assess and resolve engineering issues affecting aircraft structures, mechanical systems, electrical and avionic systems, interiors, payloads and functional testing.
• Identify, document and elevate deviations that may impact product design intent, safety or continued airworthiness, liaising with the Design Organisation where required.
• Apply engineering drawings, design data, schematics, supplier documentation and maintenance information to develop effective component recovery and repair solutions.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance engineering processes, production methods and product quality.
• Develop structural repair solutions, conduct basic static strength assessments and support non‑destructive testing activities where required.
• Provide technical support to production teams, suppliers and build partners, ensuring compliance with the client's engineering standards and manufacturing processes.
• Represent the engineering function throughout the production environment, working closely with cross‑functional teams to resolve complex engineering challenges.

Qualifications

• Degree qualified in an Engineering discipline or equivalent industry experience.
• Experience in Product Review Engineering, Part 21 Design Engineering or a similar aerospace engineering role.
• Strong understanding of aircraft systems, structures, manufacturing processes and engineering design principles.
• Experience investigating non-conformances (NCRs), root cause analysis, failure investigations and engineering problem solving.
• Knowledge of aircraft maintenance, repair and modification activities, with an understanding of continued airworthiness principles.
• Experience developing engineering dispositions, repair solutions and technical documentation to support production.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications and design data.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work directly with production and installation teams.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel and Word.
• Experience with major aircraft repairs, Part 21 engineering or aircraft fleet maintenance would be advantageous.
• Current Security Clearance, or the ability to obtain it, would be beneficial.
