Materials Analyst-Technical

Work arrangement

• The position requires in-person collaboration up to five days a week; the arrangement may change based on business requirements.

Role overview

Rotable planning and provisioning

• Forecast component needs using flight hours, cycles, MTBUR, QPA, scheduled removals, and maintenance-program inputs.
• Size component floats and govern Min/Max levels by base, accounting for repair turnaround, BER rates, and network connectivity.
• Lead initial provisioning for new fleet types and new or seasonal bases, including review and customization of manufacturer RSPLs.
• Manage inventory phase-in and phase-out driven by modifications, Service Bulletins, Airworthiness Directives, and fleet retirements; dispose of obsolete or surplus components.

Requisition and repair-cycle management

• Manage daily rotable requisitions and route demand to transfer, exchange, repair, or purchase; rebalance network inventory for hub and outstation coverage.
• Prioritize AOG, critical, and outstation demand; escalate shortages that threaten aircraft availability.
• Track repair pipeline turnaround against contracted performance and coordinate repair prioritization, expedited units, inventory float, and vendor performance.
• Support component repair, exchange, and pool programs, including contract scope and home-base kit reviews; track warranty and vendor-committed components through receipt.

Budget, performance, and improvement

• Build and manage the annual rotable capital budget, including scrap replacement, AOG exposure, and new component needs, and support the repair budget.
• Partner with Engineering, Reliability, Powerplant, Maintenance Planning, Fleet Chiefs, Procurement, Stores, and the AOG Desk to translate technical changes into inventory actions.
• Monitor fill rate, service level, repair-cycle inventory, turnaround time, and parts-related AOG performance; investigate shortages and develop mitigation plans.
• Improve eMRO data quality, document processes and decision logic, and support automation and analytics initiatives.

Education and experience

• AME licence, technical diploma, or degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, or Business, or equivalent education and experience.
• 6–8 years in rotable planning, inventory planning, material management, aircraft maintenance, or related technical roles.
• 3–5 years of airline or aviation MRO experience with direct exposure to rotable and repairable components and repair cycles.

Technical qualifications

• Working knowledge of aircraft systems and manufacturer documentation, including IPCs, CMMs, RSPLs, MELs, and Service Bulletins; Boeing and De Havilland experience is preferred.
• Strong understanding of rotable inventory principles, including float sizing, MTBUR, repair turnaround time, lead times, Min/Max, and spare quantity modeling.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel proficiency; Power BI, Snowflake, or data visualization tools are an asset.
