Flight KL691, made possible by you, our measurement specialist and inspector. You help us inspect our engines better, smarter, and faster using digital measuring tools. As a KLM team member, you contribute to unforgettable flights, no matter what your role is.

In the engine shop, you and your colleagues inspect aircraft engines: which parts are in good condition, and which ones need upgrading, repair, or replacement? It’s precision work, because an engine must be completely safe. In addition to visual inspections and manual measurements, you’ll also work with measurement machines, optical scopes, and other specialized tools. Some parts are harder to access that’s when you really get to shine! Together with our programmer and engineer, you’ll help come up with new ways to make the process even more efficient.

But even more important: you’re curious about how things work whether it’s an engine part or a brand-new measurement machine. If there’s something to learn, you’re all in.
