About Us
2Excel Aviation Ltd is a leading aviation services company. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, we deliver a wide range of aviation solutions to customers worldwide. As we continue to grow, we are looking for talented and ambitious graduates to join our team and play a key role in shaping the future of our engineering capability.
About The Role
We are currently seeking a Graduate Trainee Design & Certification Engineer to join our Design Organisation within our Capability Development department in Doncaster.
This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate with a passion for aviation to begin their career in a dynamic and highly regulated engineering environment.
Successful candidates will follow a structured, mentor-led training programme, working alongside experienced Design Engineers and gaining exposure to live aircraft modification projects from day one. As your experience develops, you will take on increasing responsibility, progressing towards independent working and readiness for promotion within approximately 24 months. During this period you will begin to specialise in a technical function (e.g Electrical Systems, Structures, Airworthiness, Additive Manufacturing).
You will contribute to both design and certification activities, gaining an understanding of the full aircraft modification lifecycle—from concept through to manufacture, installation, testing and approval.
The role’s key responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:
- Support the creation of design and certification data in accordance with the Design Organisation Handbook (DOH)
- Assist in engineering design activities under the guidance of Lead Design Engineers (LDEs) and Engineering Project Leads (EPLs)
