Graduates can obtain various technical roles in the aviation industry that have a focus on the airworthiness and safety of aircraft through a Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME). Common jobs for such professionals are Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, Aircraft Technician, Avionics Technician, and Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Mechanic. Such technicians check, maintain, and repair aircraft engines, electrical systems, and avionics equipment.
In addition, graduates of the AME diploma can work as Quality Control Inspectors or Aircraft Safety Inspectors to ensure compliance with the aviation regulations and standards. Some will specialize in engine maintenance, avionics systems, or aircraft structural repairs.
Graduates can also find opportunities with airlines, aircraft manufacturers, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organizations, and aviation regulatory bodies. With experience and further certifications, they may progress into roles such as Lead Engineer, Maintenance Manager, or even pursue research and teaching positions in the aviation sector.
