Job Description:

Airbus Americas, Inc is looking for a Spare Parts and Inventory Manager to join our team based in Mobile, AL. Reporting to the Contracts Manager, the Spare Parts and Inventory Manager is a strategic role crucial to our maintenance supply chain. You will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of technical components across the entire Mobile Manufacturing Site. Your primary goal is to balance high service levels—ensuring critical parts are available for both scheduled and emergency repairs with optimized inventory costs and “value for money” procurement.

The Spare Parts Coordinator will have previous knowledge and experience in successfully setting up a spares warehouse to ensure stock accuracy for circa 3000 spare parts servicing approximately 20,000 Industrial assets.

Our Engineers at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing facility take our aircraft from concept to customer delivery – working with production teams on every aspect of assembly from managing technical information, quality control, maintenance tasks and health & safety – along flowlines and flight lines. Join our team and watch our aircraft come to life.

On ‘Airbus Way’ you will find the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility for commercial aircraft. Opened at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley in 2015, the facility produces A320 Family aircraft and added a second product line for the A220 in 2019. The facility, which strengthens the U.S. aerospace industry, is part of Airbus’ strategy to enhance its global competitiveness by meeting the growing needs of its customers in the United States and beyond.
