Here, you'll grow alongside professionals from diverse backgrounds, contributing to our shared success and making your mark on a global stage.

As a Simulator Technician, you will carry out preventive maintenance, repair, and inspection tasks on Emirates training simulators and associated training equipment working under the direction of the Engineer Flight Simulators. You will perform daily maintenance checks on all training devices and support visual calibration checks and setups. You will take on complex technical tasks under the direction and, where required, supervision of the Engineers. The Simulator Technician working with the Engineer Flight Simulator will ensure that the flight training equipment is fully serviceable and suitably maintained to manufacturer's specifications.

In this role, you will:

• Carry out routine daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks as prescribed by the flight simulator manufacturer. Ensure that adequate records of maintenance activities are maintained in accordance with the approved Quality Plan.
• Perform daily maintenance checks on flight simulators to verify systems operation and maintain records as required by Regulatory Authorities. This will require technical familiarisation with simulator systems to effectively check device operation. Where defects are found and are of a minor nature, the technician will replace or repair and document action taken.

• Assist Engineer Flight Simulators in device fault rectification and equipment overhaul. This will require electro-mechanical engineering principles and skills.
