Within Aftermarket Overhaul Operations, you will be based on site at the joint venture MRO facility in Turkey and operate as an integral member of the regional overhaul team. You will lead the Rolls-Royce Overhaul Support Team and represent regional operational priorities at the base.
Why join Rolls-Royce?
At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.
By joining Rolls-Royce, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.
About the Role:
Keeping our customers flying depends on safe, high-quality and predictable overhaul delivery. TotalCare Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA) shop visits are a leading source of revenue and profit for Civil Aerospace, making MRO delivery, turnaround time and cost performance critical business priorities.
Turkish Technic will be the latest member of our MRO network to become operational by the end of 2027.

It will provide services to our TotalCare customers as well at the Turkish Airlines fleet, and has a planned capacity of 200 Shop Visits a year at peak.
