The Technical Engineer within the Predictive Maintenance Group will be responsible for developing and delivering predictive and proactive maintenance solutions that improve aircraft reliability, reduce operational disruption, and increase maintenance effectiveness across the fleet. The Technical Engineer within the Predictive Maintenance Group will be responsible for continuously monitoring aircraft health, reliability, and operational performance data to identify emerging defects before they impact operations. Using predictive maintenance platforms, aircraft health monitoring systems, OEM diagnostic tools, and fleet trend data, the engineer will assess prognostic alerts, investigate abnormal system behaviour, and determine appropriate engineering actions to prevent in-service failures. This includes developing maintenance recommendations, validating predictive findings, and supporting the evolution of predictive algorithms and alert logic to improve fleet reliability and maintenance effectiveness. Working closely with Technical Support Group, Planning, Production, Maintrol, Supply Chain, and OEMs, the engineer will drive the delivery of proactive maintenance activities generated through predictive monitoring. The role involves converting predictive insights into planned maintenance actions, developing troubleshooting and inspection requirements, managing proactive work packages, and ensuring timely interventions are incorporated into operational maintenance opportunities. The engineer will monitor the effectiveness of these actions, verify the recovery of adverse trends, and support continuous improvements that reduce technical delays, cancellations, aircraft on ground (AOG) events, and operational disruption. The successful engineer will also contribute to the development and implementation of innovative predictive maintenance capabilities across the fleet. This includes supporting programmes such as PRISM, participating in data analytics and reliability improvement initiatives, developing performance dashboards and reporting tools, and collaborating with engineering and operational stakeholders to embed a proactive maintenance culture. Through detailed technical investigations, root cause analysis, and fleet performance reviews, the engineer will help shape future maintenance strategies, improve asset reliability, and enhance overall operational resilience across the airline's fleet. What you'll do: * Monitor aircraft health monitoring systems, predictive maintenance platforms, and operational data to identify emerging defects and reliability risks before they affect operations. * Analyse predictive alerts, fault trends, system degradation, and technical events to determine appropriate engineering actions and maintenance interventions. * Develop and manage proactive maintenance work packages, inspections, troubleshooting activities, and D7 instructions arising from predictive findings. * Support fleet reliability improvement initiatives through trend analysis, repeat defect identification, and implementation of preventative maintenance strategies. * Conduct technical investigations and root cause analysis of component failures, operational disruptions, and predictive maintenance events. * Collaborate with Technical Support Groups, Planning, Production, Maintrol, Supply Chain, and OEMs to ensure timely and effective implementation of proactive maintenance actions. * Contribute to the development, enhancement, and deployment of predictive maintenance tools, analytics, dashboards, and programmes such as PRISM. * Provide technical recommendations and performance insights that improve aircraft reliability, reduce operational disruption, and strengthen the airline's proactive maintenance capability. ## Related Videos - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [Diagnostic Tooling: How to get insights from your .NET services hosted in Kubernetes containers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100188-diagnostic-tooling-how-to-get-insights-from-your-net-services-hosted-in-kubernetes-containers) - [Times of (climate) crisis - How and why sustainable software is a must!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/988-times-of-climate-crisis-how-and-why-sustainable-software-is-a-must) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Beyond Hiring: Building a Sustainable Talent Acquisition Engine at Deutsche Bahn](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1856-beyond-hiring-building-a-sustainable-talent-acquisition-engine-at-deutsche-bahn) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [IT Salaries in UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/288-it-salaries-in-uk) - [UK Business Culture and Etiquette](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/326-uk-business-culture-and-etiquette) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk)
