  • Lead and coordinate the Long Term Planning team, ensuring proper organisation and monitoring of C Check planning and managing the creation and modification of the associated work packages.
  • Define and oversee medium- and long-term maintenance planning.
  • Analyse different scenarios and propose solutions that optimise costs, availability and compliance with the maintenance programme.
  • Anticipate needs, risks and potential impacts on operations.
  • Monitor key maintenance milestones and ensure compliance with established deadlines.
  • Participate in the selection of maintenance centres and in contract negotiation with MROs.
  • Oversee the proper progress of planned work and promote corrective actions when necessary.
  • Drive continuous improvement, efficiency and digitalisation projects within the area.
  • Facilitate communication, development and coordination of the team under your responsibility.

What we're looking for

  • Degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent qualification.
  • Professional experience in aircraft maintenance, knowledge of the CAMO environment, experience in maintenance planning, major checks or aircraft transitions.
  • Ability to interpret maintenance programmes and assess their technical, operational and economic impact.
  • High level of English, both spoken and written.
  • Ability to lead teams, set priorities and make decisions.
  • Results-oriented and committed to continuous improvement.

Nice to have

  • Experience in C Check monitoring and planning.
  • Knowledge of aircraft transition, induction or redelivery processes.
  • Experience in negotiation with MRO centres or maintenance providers.
  • Knowledge of Business Intelligence tools.
  • Participation in continuous improvement, process transformation or digitalisation projects.

What will you find in this project?

What you'll get

  • A strategic position within the aircraft maintenance area.
  • Direct involvement in decisions relevant to the future and availability of the fleet.
  • A demanding, dynamic professional environment linked to airline operations.
