Shape the future of air travel with Guidant Global
Guidant Global is proud to be recruiting on behalf of Airbus, a world leader in aerospace, for an experienced Mechanical / Fuel Systems Installation Design Engineer to join a highly skilled Wing Engineering Design team based in Filton.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work at the forefront of aircraft innovation, contributing to the design and development of fuel and mechanical systems across Airbus’ commercial aircraft programmes. You’ll be part of a collaborative, multinational engineering community that values quality, innovation and continuous improvement.

The role
As a Mechanical / Fuel Systems Installation Design Engineer, you will play a key role in delivering safe, efficient and manufacturable system designs from concept through to in‑service support. Working within a supportive and diverse engineering team, you’ll have exposure to a wide range of aircraft programmes, including Single Aisle, A330, A350, A380 and A400M, as well as future-facing R&T projects.
This role offers genuine scope to broaden your technical capability, influence design decisions, and work closely with stakeholders across engineering, manufacturing and suppliers.

What you’ll be doing
  • Contributing to the end‑to‑end design lifecycle, from early concept through to detailed design, modification and maturity gates
  • Designing and validating mechanical and fuel system installation components and assemblies, optimised for safety, weight, cost and manufacturability
  • Producing and delivering Definition Dossiers to support manufacturing and final assembly lines
  • Leading and supporting technical studies, trade‑offs and investigations, ensuring solutions meet Airbus design methods and procedures
  • Supporting product improvement, in‑service activities and wing build, including the introduction of new modifications
  • Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders across multiple sites and disciplines

What we’re looking for
We welcome applications from engineers with transferable system installation experience. A fuel systems background is beneficial but not essential.
Essential experience and skills:
  • Strong experience using CATIA V5
  • Proven capability in 3D CAD mechanical design
  • Experience with configuration and design toolsets such as PASS, DPDS, VPM, ICC/ACP (or similar)
  • A proactive, delivery‑focused mindset with strong communication skills
  • Ability to work effectively within a collaborative, inclusive engineering team
Experience in hydraulic systems or landing gear installation is considered highly transferable.

Working pattern & security
  • 35 hours per week, worked over 4.5 days between 07:00 – 19:00 (hours agreed locally)
  • Occasional travel may be required
  • BPSS clearance required (completed by Airbus Security)
  • ITAR restrictions apply

Pay & benefits
  • £31.47 per hour (PAYE) or £42.10 per hour (Umbrella)
  • One‑stage on‑site interview process
  • Opportunity to work on globally recognised aerospace programmes

Why join Guidant Global?
At Guidant Global, we connect brilliant people with meaningful, long‑term opportunities. You’ll benefit from:
  • Access to high‑profile engineering programmes
  • Ongoing career development and skills growth
  • A recruitment partner that champions fairness, inclusion and candidate experience
  • Transparent communication and expert support throughout your assignment
