Are you looking to develop your career in aviation supporting the Royal Navy? Do you have hands-on aircraft experience? Whether you're transitioning from the military or bringing rotary wing aircraft experience from industry, this is your opportunity to apply your skills where they truly matter - supporting the Royal Navy at one of the UK’s busiest military airfields.
At Serco, we’re proud to deliver aviation support services at RNAS Culdrose through the IMOS (Integrated Merlin Operational Support) and AESAS (Aircraft Engineering and Airfield Support) contracts.

- Health and safety, including COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations, and tool control and quality practices
