Liaison Engineer

About the role

A specialist VIP/VVIP aircraft completions organisation is seeking two hands-on Liaison Engineers to support bespoke aircraft interior and modification programmes. This is not a desk-only design role. You will be the engineering presence around the aircraft and on the shop floor: the practical link between Engineering, Production, Quality, Supply Chain, Programme Management, suppliers and internal customers. When an installation does not fit as expected, a production issue needs an engineering answer, or an interior design needs translating into a workable solution, you will help move it forward.

Responsibilities

• Act as the day-to-day engineering bridge between technical teams and the production environment during aircraft completion and modification work.
• Work closely with back shops, production, quality and operations to investigate discrepancies, non-conformances and installation challenges.
• Develop practical engineering dispositions, repair schemes, design revisions and corrective actions that keep work moving while protecting quality and compliance.
• Interpret engineering drawings, installation packages and customer requirements, then communicate clear solutions to production teams and designers.
• Support the integration of cabin interiors, monuments, furnishings, structures, mechanical systems, electrical and avionics installations.
• Coordinate with Project Engineers, Design Engineers, Certification Engineers, suppliers and Outside Service Vendors to close technical issues efficiently.
• Contribute engineering data and technical substantiation to modification, STC and aircraft-certification activity.
• Participate in programme and production meetings, clearly communicating risks, priorities, corrective actions and potential schedule impacts.
• Help reduce rework and production disruption by improving engineering response times, processes and ways of working.

Requirements

• Proven experience supporting VIP/VVIP aircraft completions, aircraft interiors or cabin-modification programmes (non‑negotiable).
• A practical, solutions‑focused engineer comfortable working between the aircraft, production floor and engineering office.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to turn an engineering issue into a safe, certifiable and manufacturable solution.
• Ability to read and work from engineering drawings, specifications, installation instructions and technical documentation.
• A valid passport and flexibility for occasional domestic and international travel.
• Roughly 2‑5+ years of relevant aircraft engineering experience; direct completions experience will carry more weight than years alone.

Qualifications

• Experience with cabin monuments, cabinetry, upholstery, interior installations, structural modifications or related aircraft‑completion work is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with FAA‑certified modification programmes, STCs and/or Part 25 certification requirements.
• An Aerospace, Mechanical or related engineering degree is preferred.
• Experience with SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD would be beneficial.

Skills

• Strong communication skills, a collaborative approach and the confidence to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Pay

$90,000‑$120,000 base salary plus a $10,000 relocation allowance; exceptional Bombardier completions experience may command up to $130,000.
