About TGIS Aviation: Our vision at TGIS is to be the most trusted and go-to specialist engine technical service partner for Airlines & Leasing Companies and to set the standard for engine technical services in the industry. We’re looking to expand our network of Powerplant specialists to support us on ad-hoc projects around the world. TGIS Aviation is an independent, engine-focused technical services company that combines deep technical expertise with sharp commercial thinking. Founded in 2002 by aero engine expert Trish Gray and aircraft transition specialist Ian Smith, we’ve spent over 20 years supporting airlines and lessors with technically robust and commercially sound advice on how to manage, maintain and optimise their engine assets. We don’t do generic tech support or compliance box-ticking. We solve complex, high-stakes engine problems with clarity, honesty, and technical confidence. Since 2020, we’ve been a strategic partner for Optima, an established engine fleet cost optimisation programme that we’ve co-developed with PA Consulting and DecisionBrain. Optima delivers major cost savings for airlines, and is shaping how the industry tackles long-term engine cost control and optimisation. At TGIS Aviation, we’re a growing a high performing company with a culture you’ll be proud to be part of, and a commitment to building something lasting, not just delivering projects but setting standards.
