The role: Document Technician
Aircraft are hugely complex machines and airlines are hugely complex organisations. To operate efficiently and safely involves distributing exactly the right content to thousands of people all around the world (about anything: from repairing an engine to cultural sensitivity while travelling the world). Luckily, aviation is finally moving on from hauling reams of paper around in heavy bags. Aircraft operators see their content as datasets: we give them the expertise to efficiently maintain that data and the technology to distribute around the world.
As a Document Technician you will enable our aviation partners to do this by maintaining their datasets. Our dedicated training team will get you up and running with the basic skills you need to work with the data standards and software we use, and you’ll quickly begin working as part of a team delivering against partner requests. Safety is paramount in aviation and you will need to balance responsiveness to our partners’ needs with delivering a high standard of quality in your work. You will progress to increasingly complex datasets and ultimately you will become an invaluable extension of their team, helping them make the most of their data.
Pre-requisites
While competency on computers and a familiarity with standard software like Windows, the Microsoft Office Suite and E-mail are essential, we will teach you the skills and the tools you will need for your work.
While by no means essential, you would have a head start if you have familiarity with technical document editing products, including Adobe products, Gimp, Inkscape, Isodraw or similar; experience working with technical data formats such as SGML, XML or S1000D; a UK government security clearance; and/or a background in document management. You should live within the vicinity of the Bristol Office, on successful completion of probation, this will be a hybrid role. There will be a need to visit the office, with notice, on a regular basis and you should be willing to attend when required by your line manager.
Benefits
We have a range of benefits including considerations for healthcare, work life balance, help with cost of living through vouchers and reductions in leisure, retail and travel. For more information on our full range of benefits, please go to https://www.vistair.com/work-with-us
