This role supports heavy and scheduled aircraft maintenance at Emirates’ base facilities in the United Arab Emirates. Candidates are generally expected to hold a relevant aircraft maintenance diploma, technical certificate, or equivalent aviation qualification, with knowledge of airframe, systems, engines, safety procedures, and maintenance documentation. Experience in aircraft maintenance or a related technical environment is advantageous, while an approved Part-66 licence may be preferred for some duties. The position requires strong attention to detail, practical problem-solving skills, good English communication, physical fitness, and the ability to work safely under strict regulatory standards. As this is an Emiratisation position, applicants are expected to be UAE nationals. Shift work, teamwork, continuous learning, and compliance with Emirates and aviation authority procedures are essential.
Emirates is the Dubai-based international airline of the Emirates Group and one of the world’s best-known aviation companies. It operates a large wide-body fleet, including Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft, serving destinations across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Australasia. The airline is recognised for its extensive global network, strong customer focus, and substantial investment in aircraft engineering, technology, training, and operational safety. Aircraft technicians work within Emirates Engineering, supporting line and base maintenance, inspections, repairs, modifications, and the continued airworthiness of the fleet. The company offers a multinational working environment, structured technical development, and opportunities to build long-term careers in aviation. Emirates also supports the UAE’s Emiratisation programme by developing national talent for specialist and leadership roles across the airline.
The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but it offers a highly international lifestyle across seven emirates, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi providing the strongest aviation and engineering opportunities. Jobs are available in airlines, aircraft maintenance, airports, logistics, tourism, technology, construction, healthcare, and finance. The culture combines Islamic traditions, hospitality, and modern urban living; respectful dress and behaviour are expected, particularly during Ramadan. Residents enjoy excellent infrastructure, shopping, beaches, desert activities, and a generally safe environment, although summers are extremely hot. Employers usually sponsor work visas, medical checks, Emirates ID registration, and residency procedures for eligible employees. UAE nationals may receive additional government-supported career and training opportunities through Emiratisation programmes. Relocating workers should budget for accommodation, transport, health insurance, and school fees where applicable. Dubai is well connected but relatively expensive, while Abu Dhabi and other emirates may offer different living-cost options.
