The Technical Services Engineer
- Material Planning is responsible for providing technical and engineering support for the planning, forecasting, and management of aircraft materials, components, spare parts, and consumables required tosupport scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities. The role ensures thatmaterial requirements are accurately identified based on aircraft maintenance programs, engineering requirements, fleet utilization, and reliability trends,while maintaining optimum stock levels and minimizing aircraft downtime.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Plan,forecast, and ensure the timely availability of aircraft parts, materials,components, and consumables required to support scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities and fleet operational requirements.
• Coordinate with Maintenance Planning, Production Planning, Engineering, Procurement,Technical Materials, and Stores to identify and establish material requirementsarising from maintenance programs, engineering requirements, modifications, and operational needs.
• Monitormaterial availability and inventory levels for assigned material groups,ensuring optimum stock levels are maintained to support fleet requirements while minimizing excess and unnecessary inventory.
• Reviewmaintenance work packages, aircraft maintenance programs, engineering requirements, and upcoming maintenance inputs to forecast material requirements and ensure required parts and components are available prior to maintenancecommencement.
• Supportinitial provisioning and re-provisioning activities for assigned materialgroups, including Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE), retrofit and modification programs, work-card materials, and breakdown spares, in accordance with fleetexpansion, utilization, and phase-out plans.
• Applyapproved material planning procedures, inventory policies, forecasting methods,and stocking parameters to establish cost-effective inventory levels and ensure adequate technical support for the fleet.
• Assist inmeeting objectives of supply chain metrics including measurement and control ofAOGs, Robberies, Shortages, SLAs, Surplus, Deferred Defects, Cycle Time,Backlogs and other KPIs.
• Identify,assess, and escalate critical material shortages, supplier performance issues,extended lead times, and delivery delays, recommending appropriate corrective actions to minimize operational and maintenance impact.
• Coordinate with Procurement, Technical Materials, Stores, Maintenance, and Engineering toresolve material shortages, inventory discrepancies, provisioning issues,unserviceable and quarantine stock, and other material-related constraintsaffecting aircraft maintenance.
• Review and validate material planning parameters, including reorder points, reorderquantities, supplier lead times, average monthly usage, consumption trends, andsafety stock levels, recommending adjustments based on fleet requirements and historical demand.
• Analyseslow-moving, non-moving, surplus, and excess inventory and support inventory optimization initiatives, including stock rationalization, reallocation, vendorbuy-back opportunities, and surplus disposal.
• Reviewapplicable technical documentation, illustrated parts catalogs, component data,vendor information, and approved technical references to support part-numberrelationships, alternate part evaluations, and class-change requests.
• Prepare and coordinate documentation for alternate parts advice and class-change requests,including drafting applicable forms and compiling the required technical and supporting documentation for review and approval.
• Analyseaircraft utilization, maintenance requirements, component reliability,historical consumption, and fleet trends to improve material demand forecasting and optimize inventory requirements.
• Support the technical evaluation and identification of suitable aircraft materials,components, and alternate part solutions in coordination with Engineering and relevant technical departments, ensuring compliance with approved technical and regulatory requirements.
• Participate in material planning, inventory optimization, cost-reduction, and continuous-improvement initiatives to enhance material availability, planningaccuracy, inventory efficiency, and overall fleet support.
• Provide technical material planning support during AOG and critical maintenancesituations by identifying material requirements, prioritizing critical parts,and coordinating with relevant departments to…
