Operational & Project Support
- Ensuring business and project management processes are followed within the engineering function.
- Supporting the creation and maintenance of annual and multi‑year workload, resource, and financial plans aligned to customer requirements.
- Monitoring performance data, identifying deviations, and coordinating actions to keep projects on track.
Resource & Supplier Management
- Launching and managing internal resourcing activities and external supplier engagements in line with Airbus policies.
- Overseeing offload suppliers and managing purchase orders to support project delivery.
Performance & Continuous Improvement
- Collating, reviewing, and reporting key performance indicators to enable effective decision‑making.

- Onboarding and supporting new team members.
- Deputising for engineering functional leaders in governance reviews, covering finance, resources, and performance topics.

You don't need formal qualifications-experience is what matters most.
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- Experience in business management, project management, or a similar operational role.
- Strong communication and influencing skills, with the confidence to engage customers and stakeholders.
- Excellent organisational and analytical abilities, supported by strong digital literacy.
- A proactive, resilient, and enthusiastic approach-happy to work autonomously and "get stuck in".

Preferred but not essential:
Experience in an engineering‑led environment or familiarity with aerospace operations.
