Measuring & Reporting Progress
- Assessing AOS maturity using KPIs, activity tracking, and structured self‑assessments.
- Supporting operational teams to develop AOS/MES roadmaps and Tactical Implementation Plans (TIP).
- Identifying deviations from standards and recommending simple, effective improvements.
What you'll bring
We're open to candidates from various backgrounds-particularly those with strong process understanding and a passion for operational excellence.
Essential skills:
- Good understanding of AOS, Lean, or Operational Excellence principles.
- Awareness of Lean/Six Sigma tools and methods.

Why join this project?
- Influence real change in a major aerospace manufacturing environment.
- Supportive team culture where knowledge sharing and collaboration are valued.
