About Percival Aviation

Percival Aviation designs and manufactures high-quality aircraft interior products for the aerospace industry. We are committed to delivering products that meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance across the aviation supply chain.

Role Purpose

As Workshop Supervisor / Component Certifying Staff, you will manage the Part-145 department – taking part in Repair Scheme reviews, chairing Capability assessment meetings, carrying out Strip reports, and releasing aircraft components to service by signing the EASA Form 1 and UK CAA Form 1 under our Part-145 approval. You will also work closely with the Design department to develop repair Bulletins. This is a critical control point in ensuring the airworthiness, traceability and compliance of every component released to service.

Key Responsibilities

Certification and release

Certify components as airworthy and release them to service with an EASA Form 1 and UK CAA Form 1. Verify before release that all ordered work has been completed, and that tests and inspections are complete and within limits. Check the traceability of parts and materials, including release documents, batch records and the status of any unserviceable parts.

Technical and documentary control

Work only to current approved data, the Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE) and company procedures. Review work packs, test results and Strip reports for completeness and accuracy.

Safety, quality and compliance

Support internal audits, authority surveillance and corrective-action closure. Apply human-factors principles and maintain a just-culture, no-blame approach to error reporting. Follow health and safety, hazardous-materials and housekeeping requirements in the workshop area.

Essential Skills and Experience:

Proven experience maintaining, overhauling or testing aircraft components in a Part-145 or equivalent environment. At least six months of relevant component maintenance experience in the preceding two years. Working knowledge of EASA Part-145 and UK CAA Part-145. Good understanding of technical records, traceability and approved maintenance data (CMMs, ADs, SBs, illustrated parts catalogues). Existing component certification authorisation under another Part-145 organisation.

Desirable

Familiarity with SMS, occurrence reporting and root-cause analysis.
