Build Aircraft Structures in Nottingham

Morson Edge is looking for

Assembly Fitters to join an established aerospace manufacturing operation based in Nottingham.

This is a hands-on manufacturing opportunity working on

aircraft structures and assemblies, using engineering drawings, jigs, fixtures and specialist tooling to produce components to exacting aerospace standards.

There are opportunities across different assembly areas. Depending on your experience, work can range from precision bench assembly through to the production of larger aircraft wing structures. The supplied specifications cover both wing-structure assembly and broader A350 assembly work.

The Role

You'll work as part of an experienced manufacturing team, assembling aircraft components from drawings, specifications, standard working practices and visual instructions.

Typical activities can include:

Drilling and countersinking

Riveting and fitting specialist fasteners

Working with jigs and fixtures

Bench fitting and component assembly

Operating pneumatic and bench-top tools

Press fitting using hydraulic and fly presses

Filing and deburring

Applying sealants and surface treatments

Torque tightening fasteners

Setting components accurately within jigs

Carrying out basic measuring and inspection activities

Maintaining accurate production and traceability records

Working to strict safety and quality requirements

The A350 specification also includes bush spinning, bonding and over-sealing, low-level self-inspection and some semi-skilled sheet-metal work.

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in people with

practical assembly or engineering experience.

Previous aerospace experience would be advantageous, but it isn't the only background that will be considered. The MRS specification explicitly states that other engineering and assembly experience can be considered, with job-specific training provided to successful candidates.

You could be a good match if you've previously worked as an:

Assembly Fitter

Mechanical Fitter

Aircraft Fitter

Engineering Assembler

Manufacturing Fitter

CNC Machinist with assembly experience

Sheet Metal / Fabrication operative with fitting experience

Experience reading engineering drawings, manual drilling, deburring, using jigs and fixtures, sealants, fasteners or measuring equipment would be particularly useful.

If you have hands-on engineering or assembly experience and would like the opportunity to move into or continue your career within

aerospace manufacturing, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply now with your updated CV.
