The role

At Volotea, our fleet is at the core of our growth and operational success. As a Fleet Transition Engineer, you'll play a key role in managing aircraft entry into service, phase-out, modifications, and technical transitions, ensuring every aircraft joins (or leaves) the fleet in perfect operational, safety, and regulatory condition. Your work will directly support the future of our operation, balancing technical excellence, project coordination, and collaboration across engineering, lessors, and authorities.

🚀 Take off with us! Your journey starts here.

At Volotea, every position matters. Your role isn't just about tasks-it's about driving excellence and influencing strategic goals at the highest level. We believe in healthy ambition paired with humility, where participation and collaboration open the door to innovation and impact.

⚡Excellence That Elevates Your Career
Your daily work contributes directly to leadership objectives. We foster a culture of professional excellence, where ambition is balanced with humility, and every contribution makes a meaningful impact.

What you'll do

  • Support the coordination of aircraft deliveries and redeliveries, helping ensure smooth and timely transitions.

  • Act as the technical POC (point of contact) with lessors during audits, and technical acceptance/rejection procedures.

  • Coordinate with MROs and service providers to ensure necessary repairs, modifications, or reconfigurations are completed.

  • Provide technical support for aircraft lease agreements, acquisitions, or sales.

  • Follow up on maintenance tasks, modifications, and reconfigurations to meet required standards.

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams like Maintenance, Engineering, Legal, and Operations to support aircraft transition activities.

  • Review documentation to ensure compliance with EASA/AESA regulations and lease agreements.

  • Contribute to preparing technical reports, identifying discrepancies, and supporting risk assessments.

How you'll work

Enjoy exclusive deals with 180+ airlines-fly with your family for up to 4-5 times less than standard fares, just covering airport taxes. Weekend getaways or global adventures? You decide!

🏙 A prime location in Barcelona - And no, we're not located at the airport!

You may not have seen us at Barcelona Airport, but there's a reason for that-you'll understand when you get to know us! 😉 Our HQ is in a top area, surrounded by great restaurants, shops, and services.

Our home is Barcelona, in a new, really nice office full of life and team activities. We enjoy being together and building things side by side, so we work in a hybrid model: 3 days in the office and up to 2 from home, a setup that requires being comfortable spending regular time in the office, as full remote is not available

🌍A Global Team
In our diverse, multicultural environment, your ideas and contributions are valued. Together, we create meaningful impact by combining ambition with respect, innovation with humility, and teamwork with excellence.
