Life as an aerospace engineering technician can be a real blast. If you’re responsible for sending those mega rockets into space, there’s sure to be excitement and danger packed into every minute of the day!

 
These clever individuals work with other space scientists to design, build, test, maintain and operate aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace engineers do the design work and then pass it on to the technicians to begin the practical work to get the design off the ground. They prepare drawings, diagrams and scale models, collect information and do all the lab tests to find out if new designs are practical. They also assemble, test, operate and repair launch vehicles and keep ground support in working order.

So, if you love Maths and statistics, pay great attention to detail and have a knack for scientific and technical material – this could be just the thing for you!
