It will come as no surprise to hear what Ene Krinpus, chief HR officer for Magnetic MRO, has to say about the challenges in hiring skilled technicians.
Experience has shown Krinpus that “the hardest jobs to recruit for are in the aviation sector, especially licensed engineers”.
It’s a familiar story. For the last decade at least, observers have been warning of an alignment of factors hitting MRO – trainee numbers remain stubbornly low as retirees increase, just as demand surges.
