About this role

The Aviation MRO Engineering Planner role focuses on technical evaluation, inspection, and workscope planning of aircraft components, assemblies, and systems in a Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul environment. This position ensures incoming and in-process components are correctly identified, evaluated, documented, and planned in compliance with OEM technical data, FAA regulations, EASA requirements, customer needs, and company standards.

Daily duties include performing detailed inspections of aircraft components, accessories, and assemblies. Planners interpret Component Maintenance Manuals, Illustrated Parts Catalogs, Structural Repair Manuals, and other OEM data to generate accurate workscopes, bills of materials, labor hours, and routing plans.
