  • Analyzing, standardizing, and continuously optimizing manufacturing processes using lean management methods and continuous improvement (CIP).
  • Identifying and implementing automation and digitalization projects to increase efficiency and process reliability.
  • Ensuring compliance with aviation-specific standards, regulatory requirements, and internal quality standards.
  • Planning and overseeing audits, as well as providing support for customer and regulatory approvals.
  • Working closely with Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain to ensure the sustainable development of production processes.

Your Qualifications

  • A successfully completed degree in mechanical engineering, production engineering, industrial engineering or a comparable technical qualification.
  • Several years’ management experience in the manufacturing industry, ideally in the aerospace sector or a similarly regulated industry.
  • In-depth knowledge of operational production control, as well as experience in the industrialisation of new products and the establishment or optimisation of mass production processes.
  • A proven track record in the analysis, standardisation and continuous improvement of production processes using lean management methods and continuous improvement (KVP).
  • Experience in implementing automation, digitalisation or investment projects within production.
  • Good knowledge of relevant quality and industry standards (e.g. EN 9100, ISO 9001) as well as experience in dealing with audits and regulatory requirements.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills combined with a pragmatic, hands-on approach and a strong focus on implementation.
  • Very good command of German and English, as well as confidence in using ERP systems and standard MS Office applications.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
