Quick facts:

• Romania builds helicopter airframes at Brasov.

• Aerostar at Bacau handles maintenance and overhaul.

• The sector has a long-established history.

• Romanian helps for most roles.

• English is the working language of European maintenance manuals.

Why Romania's Aerospace Sector Is Hiring

Helicopter airframe work in Brasov is a newer investment, building on Romania's established aviation base.

Bacau handles maintenance, overhaul and upgrade work, with decades of built-up skill.

Costs are low and technical skills are established, which is why international manufacturers came.

Two Ways In

Romanian English levels are strong, which helps with running programmes abroad.

What Does an Aerospace Job in Romania Involve?

Aerospace work splits into four areas. Here is how each one looks.

Licensed maintenance. Licensed technicians in Romania sign off aircraft work. This needs an EASA Part-66 licence in the right category, and it is the hardest thing for a foreign candidate to arrange.

Making parts and aircraft. Production work in Romania covers assembly, composites, machining and finishing. No licence is needed, and it is the most accessible route.

Design and engineering. Design and systems work in Romania needs a degree and tool skills rather than a licence.

Ground and airport work. Ground and ramp work at Romanian airports needs no aerospace training, and employers train you on arrival.

Aerospace Roles in Demand in Romania

• Aircraft maintenance technician: Part-66 licensed work, the core role in any MRO market.

• Avionics technician: Electrical and systems work needing a B2 licence.

• Structures and sheet metal technician: Repair work needing trade skills rather than a licence.

• Ground support operative: Airport ramp and handling work, no aerospace licence needed.

• Quality and airworthiness inspector: Check work and records against EASA rules at sites in Romania.

• Ground support operative: Aircraft handling and ramp work at airports in Romania. No licence needed to start.

• Production operative: Assembly and finishing work in Romania workshops and plants.

Overhaul work in Bacau is broader than routine line maintenance, which makes it a strong selling point.

How Much You Can Earn

Romanian aerospace pay is below Western Europe, but living costs are much lower. International programmes pay above the domestic average.

Things Worth Knowing Before You Apply

• The sector has a long-established history.

• Romanian English levels are strong.

• Living costs are much lower than in Western Europe.

• Overhaul work is broader than line maintenance.

• Licence conversion takes months, so start it as early as you can.

Skills and Experience You Need

These points apply to Romanian nationals and foreign applicants alike. Employers care about what you can do.

Starting (Ground Support, Production Operative)

• No licence needed for ground support or production work

• Good English, because maintenance manuals are written in it

• You follow written procedures exactly, because this is safety-critical work.

Licensed or Skilled (Part-66 Technician, Engineer)

• An EASA Part-66 licence, or a national licence you can convert.

• A degree in aerospace, mechanical or electronic engineering for design roles

• Tool skills that match the job, such as CATIA for design or AMOS for maintenance

Senior (Lead Engineer, Shift Supervisor)

• Seven or more years, including charge of a team or a work package

• You have worked inside an approved Part-145 or Part-21 organisation.

• You can produce and sign the records the regulator expects

Romanian helps for most roles and shop floor work. International firms and engineering teams use more English.

Maintenance certifying work needs an EASA Part-66 licence. Design roles need an accredited degree. Production work needs neither.

Papers You Need

If You're a Romanian National

• National ID card or passport

• Your EASA Part-66 licence, if you hold one

• Degree certificate and transcripts

• A list of aircraft types you have worked on

• Training and tool certificates

If You're a Foreign Candidate

• A valid passport

• A signed job offer from a Romania-based aerospace employer

• Your licence, plus proof of any conversion in progress

• Degree certificate and transcripts, translated if asked.

• A record of the aircraft types and hours you have worked

• Criminal record certificate, which some roles check closely

EU Helpers is not a government body. We do not issue work permits, residence permits, or licences. We help you get your papers ready. Non-EU candidates usually apply through the EU Blue Card or a national work permit. Certifying maintenance also needs a valid EASA Part-66 licence, which is separate from the permit. The authority always makes the final call.

How EU Helpers Helps You

• We know Romania's English levels and how they affect abroad run programmes.

• We check whether your licence or degree needs converting, because that is where applications stall.

• We connect you with employers who support the Part-66 conversion route.

• We help you get your papers ready for hiring and for the move.

• After you start, we check in to see how things are going.

Why Choose EU Helpers in Romania

• We understand that an overhaul record here goes beyond routine maintenance.

• We thoroughly vet every candidate before we send them to an employer.

• Our network reaches Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. That gives employers a wider pool than local hiring.

• If Romania isn't the right fit for what you want, we'll tell you and look at other markets with you.
