But as well as the long term, your role will also vary from day-to-day. From line duties such as pre-flight checks, minor avionics and refuelling to base maintenance in a hangar, diagnosing faults and arranging repairs, there’s plenty of variation.

5. The pay is competitive
When you undertake a contract role overseas, the pay is very competitive because technical jobs typically require highly skilled workers – and this is especially true for aviation. You will be paid very well according to your abilities, while working on top-quality aircrafts and furthering your experience.
Of course, what you earn depends on your qualifications and the employer who hires you, but bear in mind that shorter-term contracts are often at a higher rate of pay to make up for the lack of future security.

From Chinooks to Apache helicopters and even Sikorsky Black Hawks, when you work in an aviation contract role with M&E Global, you’ll get the chance to work on some of the most exciting aircraft in the world.
This allows you to expand your experience and breadth of skills more than if you were in a longer term or permanent role.
Most employers are either defence based or prestigious civilian sector employers with similar expertise, so you’ll also benefit from the experience of working with a respected employer on other levels too.
