Take Your Fitting Skills into Aerospace
Morson Edge is looking for
Level 3 qualified Fitters with manufacturing experience to join a long-term aerospace manufacturing programme in Burnley.
If you're an experienced fitter working within manufacturing, can confidently use hand tools, follow engineering drawings and assemble components accurately, your skills could transfer directly into this opportunity.
You'll receive the opportunity to move into aerospace manufacturing, working on the precision assembly of
aircraft nacelle structures and components within an established, professional production environment.
If you've worked as a:
Mechanical Fitter
Sheet Metal Worker
Assembly Fitter
Aircraft Fitter or Aircraft Technician
Skilled Fitter
...and hold a relevant
Level 3 qualification or completed apprenticeship, we'd like to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll use your existing fitting and manufacturing skills to assemble aircraft structures and components to precise engineering and quality standards.
Your work will include:
- Fitting and assembling aircraft components and sub-assemblies
- Working accurately from engineering drawings and technical instructions
- Drilling, countersinking, riveting, fastening and torquing
- Using hand tools, measuring equipment, tooling and fixtures
- Positioning components accurately for assembly
- Checking your work against required quality standards
- Recording production and traceability information
- Identifying and reporting defects or non-conformances
- Working safely within a structured manufacturing environment
Previous aerospace experience is beneficial, but it isn't essential.
What You Need
The key requirement is a combination of
Level 3 engineering qualifications and practical fitting experience within manufacturing.
You'll need:
Level 3 engineering/manufacturing qualification or completed relevant apprenticeship
- Hands-on experience as a fitter within a manufacturing environment
- Good practical fitting and assembly skills
- Experience using hand tools and fitting equipment
- Ability to read and work from engineering drawings or technical instructions
- Good attention to detail and precision

Moving into Aerospace?
Don't rule yourself out because you haven't built aircraft before.
If you've developed strong fitting skills within another manufacturing environment, this could be an opportunity to
transfer those skills into aerospace and build experience within a highly regulated engineering sector.
We're interested in the practical skills you've developed, not simply whether your previous job title included the word "aircraft".
