About Ontic Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury represents an exciting new chapter in Ontic's global MRO journey. Our purpose-built 55,000 sq ft facility in Gloucestershire is our European MRO hub and one of Ontic's dedicated MRO Centers of Excellence.
We're building a team focused on delivering high-quality, OEM-backed repair capability with the consistency and turnaround our customers depend on. That makes Tewkesbury a particularly exciting place to join Ontic: you'll have the opportunity to help shape a growing operation, influence how we work and be part of building something for the future.
If you enjoy change, growth and the opportunity to make a visible impact, you'll find plenty of opportunity here.
The opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Hydraulic Test Technician to join our Operations team, playing a key role in testing, fault-finding and repairing hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical assemblies that help keep aircraft flying safely and reliably.
This role will initially be based at our Staverton site, before permanently relocating to our new Tewkesbury facility in Q1 2027. Candidates must be comfortable working at both locations, as the move to Tewkesbury is a planned part of the role.
This is a hands-on opportunity for someone with a strong hydraulic background who enjoys solving technical challenges, working with high-pressure systems and taking pride in delivering work to the highest quality standards. You'll work closely with colleagues across Operations, Quality and Engineering, ensuring components meet strict aviation requirements before they are released.
The role currently operates on a 37-hour working week with no shift work, although there is the potential to move to a shift pattern in the future. Overtime opportunities are available once fully trained.
What you'll be doing
Testing hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical assemblies using specialist test equipment, ensuring components meet the required specifications and aviation standards.
Carrying out high-pressure hydraulic testing, following detailed technical instructions and established procedures.
Diagnosing faults, stripping down components and completing repairs to restore performance and reliability.
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings, technical specifications and work instructions to complete testing accurately.
Recording test results and maintaining accurate documentation to ensure full traceability throughout the testing and repair process.
Supporting Engineering and Quality teams with investigations, problem-solving and continuous improvement activities.
Completing component inspections and maintaining a safe, organised working environment while following strict health and safety procedures.
What you'll bring
A strong hydraulic background is essential, including hands-on experience working with high-pressure hydraulic systems.
Solid mechanical knowledge, with practical experience working on hydraulic components, assemblies and associated systems.
Confidence reading and interpreting engineering drawings, technical specifications and detailed work instructions.
Experience in fault-finding, testing and repairing mechanical or hydraulic components, with the ability to work accurately to tight tolerances.
Excellent attention to detail, a strong commitment to quality and safety, and the ability to maintain accurate technical records.
Good communication skills and a collaborative approach, with the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
Desirable: Previous aerospace, maintenance, repair and overhaul, or other regulated engineering experience. An engineering apprenticeship, NVQ Level 3 or equivalent experience would also be advantageous, as would exposure to electrical systems or hydraulic testing equipment.
