The UK aerospace industry is one of the country’s most advanced and globally competitive manufacturing sectors, ranking first in Europe and second worldwide.

It spans design, production, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), with particular strengths in propulsion systems, aerostructures and high-value engineering.

The sector supports over 100,000 highly skilled jobs across the UK and plays a vital role in exports, productivity and regional employment, particularly in Wales, the Midlands and the South West. Aerospace roles are typically high-value, regulated and safety-critical, requiring experienced and compliant workforces.

However, the industry continues to face challenges including skills shortages, supply chain disruption, regulatory complexity and the transition towards sustainable aviation. These pressures make workforce flexibility essential.

Temporary and contract staffing plays a crucial role in supporting programme ramps, production peaks and operational resilience, allowing aerospace businesses to maintain output while meeting strict quality and compliance standards.

At NuStaff, we specialise in supplying reliable, compliant temporary workers to aerospace manufacturers, suppliers, and support organisations across the UK.

We support aerospace employers during:

• New programme launches and increasing production capacity
• Seasonal or contract-based workload peaks
• Skills shortages in specialist and semi-skilled roles
• Supply chain disruption and recovery periods

Our consultants understand the expectations shaped by organisations such as ADS Group, WEAF and Aerospace Wales, and the importance of safety, quality, and traceability in every placement.
