A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft
Aviation giant hires in Birmingham
STS Aviation Services, a leading aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider to the global aviation industry, has hired 60 aircraft maintenance professionals in Birmingham to support conversion work on a fleet of Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft. The organisation is part of the STS Aviation
Group, which purchased the former Monarch aircraft hanger facility at Birmingham Airport earlier this year. “We are committed to hiring locally for this
project, and so far the response has been incredible,” said Imogen Day, director of Human Resources for STS Aviation Services in the
United Kingdom. Over the next few months we will hire approximately 50 more people to support the required conversion work, and we are also in the early stages of creating internship opportunities and apprenticeship programmes as our team looks to partner with educational institutions in and around the West Midlands.” The Birmingham-based employees will join
the 50 Boeing employees already working on the Wedgetail programme throughout the UK. The Wedgetail conversion programme was
awarded to STS Aviation Services by Boeing and it will call upon both STS and Boeing teams to transform multiple 737 aircraft into a modern
airborne battle management fleet. The new Wedgetails will protect the UK
through tracking airborne and maritime threats and directing fighter jets and warships. Work for this project will be carried out at STS Aviation Services’ expanding, state-of-the-art aircraft maintenance facility located at Birmingham Airport (BHX). STS Aviation Services is promoting careers
associated with the Wedgetail conversion programme on its online jobs board. Those interested in being considered for a
position are encouraged to learn more and apply online directly. Candidates should send CVs to
recruiting@stsaviationservices.com.
