Air
New Zealand's Aircraft Engineering Recruitment
Programme Well Underway
Air
New Zealand is well underway with its programme of
recruiting aircraft engineers to support its
airframe maintenance operations. This will mean
approximately 70 additional jobs in Christchurch,
including 20 trainees, and 30 for the airline's
Auckland-based engineering operations.
Air New
Zealand Engineering Services Vice President, John
Mounce, said the recruitment drive was in response
to the evolving needs of the business.
"Additional
qualified staff are required to support the growth
of our airframe maintenance and overhaul business
as well as maximise asset utilisation in what is an
ever-increasingly competitive market," said Mr
Mounce.
Air New
Zealand is recruiting suitable people both locally
and from the United Kingdom where there is a pool
of talent.
To date the
airline's Christchurch engineering facility has
recruited 20 local engineers, has another 10
commencing work over the next two months, has a
number of offers on the table with interested UK
applicants, and is currently advertising another 13
positions.
In Auckland
the recruitment programme is underway both locally
and in the UK for the additional 30 aircraft
engineers required.
