Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Repair and Overhaul Technician

So you like to take things apart but can you put them back together again?  Do you have a sharp eye and a penchant for detail?

Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Repair and Overhaul Technicians are responsible for: the repair and overhaul of gas turbine engines; rebuilding gas turbine engines; balancing components and assemblies; testing and troubleshooting gas turbine engines and; inspecting gas turbine engine components and assemblies.

In some companies, the role of the gas turbine engine repair and overhaul technician is broken down into three roles: inspection; disassembly/assembly and; testing. The range of tasks may be divided into multi-level skill-sets depending upon company policies, which would result in graduates being required to perform a portion of the tasks listed, or in some cases, all of them.

Jobs in this sector are found primarily in power plant shops of larger airlines, independent repair and overhaul shops, and the repair and overhaul shops of engine manufacturers.
