Job Description:

Airbus Americas Customer Services is looking for an Embodiment Operations Manager to join the Major Repairs Customer Services Team based in Herndon, VA.

Meet the Team:

The Major Repairs team provides end to end support for developing, repairing and modifying aircraft around the world. The team coordinates and implements bespoke repair solutions to meet the customer’s specific requirements, while ensuring a positive customer relationship. 

As the Embodiment Operations Manager in Virginia, you will manage and lead complex repair projects and help build customer relationships, with a higher focus on the North American operations, along with some Latin American operations.

Your Challenges:

• This position is a technical project leader, similar to that of a Heavy Maintenance Manager at an airline. It has a unique title when compared to other organizations. You will be talking to the customer and learning what their capabilities are, while working with the internal team at Airbus to decide on a timely solution for them; you are the voice of Airbus and the voice of the customer at the same time.
• You will have a certain level of financial responsibility in this role, too, and you possess the ability to build business cases.
• For the first year, you will be expected onsite 5 days per week to get acclimated to our environment, and after that first year, we will move you to a hybrid situation.
• For the first 6 weeks, you will get hands-on training from the hiring manager, and then you will travel to Toulouse, France, for about a month - maybe a little longer, for additional training
• Other travel in the U.S. is infrequent, but there will be plenty of opportunities for short customer visits - we deal with several airlines, often, and after you are getting more autonomous in your role, you will lead those meetings - usually just two-day trips.

You boarding pass:

• Training as an aircraft structural engineer with at least 10 years of experience

• Aircraft maintenance operations experience

• Demonstrable experience in project management

• Knowledge and experience of Part 145 and Airworthiness Regulations are preferred

• Experience in communicating with customers, including negotiating sales contracts

• Advanced level of English 

• Education: Bachelor of Science in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) required, Master of Science in Engineering or Business Administration preferred 

Not a 100% match? No worries! Airbus supports your personal growth with customized development solutions.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
