Requirements

What we're looking for

Aeronautical Maintenance Technician or equivalent technical training, with knowledge of tooling, equipment, and production means applied to aeronautical maintenance.

Proficiency in SAP and Office. Technical English for reading documentation and communicating with national and international suppliers.

The role

This role focuses on the technical-operational management of the lifecycle of the production means necessary for aircraft maintenance: from the identification and processing of needs to the acquisition, regularization, commissioning, and monitoring of equipment throughout its useful life.

As a TMA for the Production Means Technical Office, you will manage requests for tooling, tools, ground support equipment (GSE), measuring equipment, and other means, coordinating with suppliers and internal areas, evaluating technical and economic alternatives, and ensuring their correct incorporation into SAP.

It involves managing technical documentation, registrations and parameterizations in the ERP, preventive maintenance plans, calibrations, and inspections, as well as providing support to Production regarding needs or unavailability of means during maintenance checks.

Your Challenges

  • Manage and process requests for the acquisition, repair, rental, or replacement of tooling, tools, GSE, and equipment required by the aircraft maintenance areas.
  • Contact suppliers, request and compare offers, and participate in the technical-economic evaluation of alternatives, considering technical requirements, cost, delivery time, and after-sales service.
  • Monitor orders, repairs, and external services, controlling the progress of work, committed TATs, costs, and the resolution of incidents with suppliers.
  • Receive and verify acquired equipment, regularize it, and register it in SAP, creating and maintaining the master data, identifications, locations, and parameters necessary for its correct management.
  • Collect, review, and keep updated the technical documentation for each mean: manuals, certificates, technical data sheets, drawings, declarations of conformity, and documentation associated with its commissioning.
  • Prepare, edit, and schedule preventive maintenance plans, calibrations, and periodic inspections in SAP, monitoring expiration dates and ensuring the traceability of the actions performed.
  • Study alternative/equivalent tooling solutions, manage their approval by Quality, and monitor them until their implementation and regularization in the systems.
  • Provide support to Production regarding needs or unavailability of means during checks, coordinating with warehouses, Engineering, Quality, Purchasing, and suppliers to find alternatives that guarantee operational continuity.

Skills

Rigor and organizational capacity in the technical and documentary management of equipment.

Analytical skills and attention to detail.

Technical and economic judgment for the evaluation of alternatives and suppliers.

High communication capacity with suppliers and internal customers.

High capacity for teamwork and cross-functional collaboration.

Production orientation and incident resolution capacity.

Initiative and proactivity for continuous process improvement.

High degree of responsibility and autonomy in task management.

Awareness of safety, quality, traceability, and cost savings.

Capacity for learning, adaptation to new technologies, and knowledge transfer to the team.

Experience

Previous experience in the management of tooling, GSE, equipment, or production means within an aeronautical maintenance/MRO environment will be valued.

Experience in SAP, supplier and purchasing management, technical documentation, calibrations, preventive maintenance, and equipment regularization and commissioning processes will be valued.
