2. Supply Chain Security

• Manage critical parts: Monitor short-term missing parts, provide accurate "On Dock Dates" (ODD), and keep the FAL leadership informed.
  
• Mitigate risk: Trigger long-term risk management strategies in collaboration with Supply Chain Quality Managers.
  

3. Continuous Improvement & Problem Solving

• Drive solutions: Identify repetitive issues in daily operations and initiate Practical Problem Solving (PPS) procedures.
  
• Collaborate: Feedback operational realities to internal customers and support the liability process regarding non-conformities.
  

### Who You Are

We are looking for a proactive problem-solver who can navigate a complex, international environment with diplomacy and grit.

• Education: Degree in Aeronautics, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

• Personality: You are autonomous, customer-oriented, and a true team player who stays calm under pressure.
  
• Technical Skills: Familiarity with SAP (PEA, PAC) is highly valued.
  
• Languages: You have negotiation-level English and an advanced level of French.
  

### Why Join Us?

• Global Exposure: Work in a truly transnational environment, interacting daily with diverse teams, international suppliers, and major global airlines.
  
• Visible Impact: You will play a direct role in the customer satisfaction of our airline clients.
