View live opportunities →About Jet2
Jet2 runs an emerging talent programme covering aircraft engineering apprenticeships, IT and data roles, and commercial graduate schemes, mostly based in Yorkshire.
The engineering apprenticeship trains you towards licensed maintenance work on a modern fleet, while the technology teams in Leeds build the booking and operations platforms in-house.
It is a rare example of a large aviation employer whose head office sits outside the South East.
Why work here
- Northern base means lower living costs with airline-level training.
- In-house software teams, so digital apprentices work on real production systems.
- Fast-growing airline with genuine internal promotion.
- Travel benefits and a friendly, less corporate culture than legacy carriers.
