The implementation; the plan, the team they put behind, the comms to contractors, the one-to-one meetings as required, the leadership team briefings that they attended. Everything from start to finish, including the cutover, was seamless. Dare I say it felt more BAU than a major change project! Their culture; what a team! Down to earth, no egos, happy to get their hands dirty, able to cope with the many questions from our info sec and data teams, happy to stick with our recommended technology platform (even when they had a different solution in place for other clients). The flexibility shown was appreciated throughout. The investment from their senior leadership team; the CEO, the COO, plus many others across their SLT have played key roles in almost every meeting.
"Matchtech have been instrumental in assisting HAL to standardise our approach to recruitment; planning and creating templates, workflows, and assisting us in creating clear processes prior to implementation. A further and important feature of the relationship is the weekly onsite presence of Gattaca as an extension to the HR Team."

In Aerospace, the sky's the limit for high-fliers. Roles like Aerospace Engineers, Avionics Technicians, and Aeronautical Analysts often boast top salaries. At a senior level, Aerospace Project Managers and Chief Engineers can earn upwards of £75,000 a year, while specialised positions like Propulsion Engineers frequently fetch competitive rates due to high demand and niche skills.
Beyond the cockpit, mastering CAD software, finite element analysis tools, and programming languages like Python and MATLAB are essential. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a knack for problem-solving will help you soar. Stay ahead with tools like CATIA and SolidWorks, and keep your radar tuned to emerging tech trends like UAV systems.
In Aerospace, it's about balance. Experience shows you can navigate complex skies, whereas skills ensure you're equipped for future challenges. However, employers prize innovative thinking, adaptability, and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge practically. Blend your skills with real-world experience, and you'll land right on target.
Absolutely. If you've mastered project management, quality assurance, or mechanical design in another field, you're already on the runway. Skills in data analysis, teamwork, and detail-oriented work from sectors like automotive or manufacturing transfer seamlessly. Ready to transition? We've got your back.
Yes, and they set you apart. A degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field is a solid foundation. Certifications like Chartered Engineer (CEng) or qualifications from institutions like The Royal Aeronautical Society can turbocharge your CV. An EASA Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence is a passport to top aircraft engineering roles.
With five years in your logbook, you should expect a salary of around £40,000 to £60,000 annually. But it’s all about the specifics - your role, specialism, and location play a part. The high-fliers in niche areas or leadership roles could see more.
As a fresh graduate ready to take flight, you can expect starting salaries from £25,000 to £30,000 annually. Aerospace is a field where growth and earning potential are as substantial as the sectors you’ll be working in.
Our approach is multi-faceted; we use online job boards, tap into our extensive network, and take direct action to reach out.
We kick things off with a chat to truly understand your needs. From there, we advertise the role, rigorously screen candidates, and hand-pick the ones that fit the bill perfectly.
