PIMCC - Supply Chain and Quality Manager

At Airbus, we are focused on our employees and their welfare. Take a look at some of our social benefits:

• International Environment: Real international work with stakeholders across Europe and a "fun & challenging" work atmosphere.

• Work-Life Balance: Vacation days plus additional days-off and hybrid working models where possible.

• Career Growth: Initial "on-the-job" tutored phase with experienced mentors and numerous opportunities for professional development.

• Financial Security: Attractive salary, life and health insurance, employee stock options, and retirement plan.

• On-site Facilities: Access to canteens, medical offices, and other site-specific facilities (e.g., kindergarten in certain locations).

• Social Impact: Possibility to collaborate in corporate social responsibility initiatives and upskilling opportunities.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.

An opportunity for a Supply Chain and Quality Manager (SCQM) has arisen within the Procurement Operations organization (PI).

The selected candidate will join the Structural Composites team (PIMCC), which is responsible for the operational management of Airbus' composite materials supply chain. Our mission is to secure the "On Time, On Quality" (OTOQ) delivery of flyable and ancillary materials for the entire product lifecycle-from supplier selection and product qualification to series production and strategic development.

• Manage Supply Chain Operations: Ensure OTOQ performance for "interior prepregs" and textile/infusion materials, acting as the main interface between suppliers and internal plants (Illescas, Nantes, Stade).

• Drive Quality Excellence: Lead the supplier quality approval process, manage New Product Introductions (NPI), and oversee quality recovery plans using tools like 8D.

• Lead Industrial Assessments: Perform comprehensive product audits across the composites supply base to detect process deviations, propose solutions, and validate supplier action plans.

• Risk Mitigation & Recovery: Identify supply risks in coordination with the Commodity Sourcing Group (CSG) and implement robust recovery plans to secure continuity of supply during bottlenecks or disruptions.

• Support Strategic Initiatives: Contribute to supplier selection during calls for tender, manage Transfers of Work (ToW), and lead logistics improvement and cost reduction initiatives.

• Supplier Development: Monitor and support the long-term development of suppliers in line with Airbus' sourcing strategy, ensuring they have the required capacity and industrial maturity.

This position can be based in Getafe (Madrid), Toulouse (France), or Hamburg (Germany), subject to discussion.

Is your profile aligned to the following list of skills? Apply! We are looking forward to knowing you:

• Education: Engineering degree or a related technical discipline.

• Experience: At least 4 years of experience, ideally in Quality, Supply Chain, Procurement, or Logistics. An industrial background (Manufacturing Engineering) is a strong plus.

• Soft skills: High autonomy, negotiation skills with the ability to influence, and a constructive approach to conflict management in a stakeholder-heavy environment.

• Languages: Negotiation level in English. Knowledge of German is a definitive advantage due to the supplier base in Germany and Austria.

• Technical knowledge: Ability to perform industrial audits, risk assessment, and data analysis to manage diverse supply scenarios.

• Valuable / Nice to have: Experience in the composites field is highly appreciated. Willingness to travel frequently within Europe (approx. 5 days per month).
