easyJet’s Engineering and Maintenance team are renowned for their innovative solutions. As part of the team you will have the opportunity to engage with all aspects of the airline’s operation to deliver the highest standards of aircraft performance, and will play a part in delivering Europe’s highest technical despatch reliability as recognised by Airbus. With the current program introducing the cutting-edge NEO aircraft and the arrival of the A321, there couldn’t be a better time to join.
There are over 3 million parts that make up an easyJet Airbus A320 aircraft. But, at the critical moment, it is that one part that is preventing the aircraft from taking-off that we care about most. With over 500,000 parts transactions a year, easyJet’s E&M supply chain team’s purpose is to maximise aircraft availability whilst reducing inventory costs.
Handling over $250M of aircraft parts distributed across the European network with an annual spend in excess of £150M, the supply chain team manages the complete end-to-end process from supplier selection and supplier management through to the delivery of goods and services.
The supply chain team comprises highly motivated and dedicated professionals who succeed in a fast-paced, relentless and uncompromising environment that affords an essential flow of parts and services to support the operation.
Reporting to the Head of Engineering & Maintenance Supply Chain, the Inventory & Operations Planning Manager is an exciting and transformational role within the easyJet Engineering & Maintenance Supply Chain. This role will be responsible for leading and managing the end-to-end materials processes initiated by the demand and concluding with fulfilment. Responsible for matching demand, supply and optimal inventory levels to achieve maximum aircraft availability whilst reducing inventory costs.
