Varied fleet

What I like most about working at E&M? I learn something new every day! You really don't know what the day will bring. And of course, not to forget my colleagues! From the friendly lunches to the team outings, the atmosphere here is just great.

Learning every day

KLM Engineering & Maintenance handles the maintenance of our own fleet, as well as aircraft and aircraft parts for global customers. This gives you the chance to learn something new every day. An engine change and nose wheel inspection in the morning, and measuring a fuel temp sensor after lunch? This could be your next shift! And if you opt for KLM, you'll not get great colleagues, but also an enormous amount of knowledge.
