About This Role
Transavia is recruiting experienced Boeing 737NG First Officers for its new Brussels base, which joins Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven from this year. You join the team that builds the base from day one, flying the Boeing 737NG, with a company-funded conversion to the Airbus A321neo as the fleet transitions over the coming years. As First Officer you are responsible, under the command of the Captain, for the safety and efficiency of a demanding flight operation, working closely with the rest of the crew and with operational support colleagues before and during every flight. The network takes you into a wide variety of airports, from Greek islands and popular city-break destinations to Norwegian fjords and snow-covered runways in Lapland, with challenging factors such as mountainous terrain and changeable weather. Transavia has been making flying accessible to everyone since 1965 and employs more than 3,000 people across the cockpit, cabin, engineering and office functions, serving leisure and visiting-friends-and-family traffic across Europe and North Africa. The selection procedure runs in a single day at selection partner EPST in Utrecht, and Compass testing forms part of the process and can be completed remotely. Questions about the vacancy go to Graham McCarthy at Europlan IT.
