The posting

Reporting to Sr. Manager, Demand Management, the Materials Analyst-Technical is responsible for planning, positioning, and optimizing rotable and repairable component inventory to ensure aircraft readiness and operational reliability.

  Performance Management & Continuous Improvement

Monitor fill rate, service level, inventory in the repair cycle, repair turnaround time, and parts-related AOG performance Conduct structured root cause analysis for rotable shortages and AOG events, and develop mitigation plans Improve data quality in eMRO, including Min/Max parameters, lead times, repair turnaround times, and part number effectivity and interchangeability Document processes and decision logic, and support automation and analytics initiatives

  Technical & Analytical Skills

Working knowledge of aircraft systems and manufacturer documentation, including IPCs, CMMs, RSPLs, MELs, and Service Bulletins (Boeing and De Havilland preferred) Strong understanding of rotable inventory principles (float sizing, MTBUR, repair turnaround time, lead times, Min/Max, spare quantity modeling) Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with Power BI, Snowflake, or data visualization tools is an asset Experience working within maintenance and inventory management systems (eMRO, ERP, or equivalent) Familiarity with component repair, exchange, and pool agreements is an asset

  Professional Attributes

Technically curious, with the judgment to act decisively on incomplete information and escalate when risk warrants Strong relationship builder across Engineering, Reliability, Production, and vendor partners Highly organized, with the ability to balance a daily operational queue with longer-term planning and project work Clear and confident communicator capable of explaining technical and financial trade-offs to operational and senior leadership audiences

  What Success Looks Like

Fewer parts-related AOG events caused by rotable unavailability Stable or improving fill rates and service levels across the network Component floats and Min/Max levels that reflect actual demand and repair turnaround times A reduced share of inventory in the repair cycle, and fewer reactive purchases and expedite costs New fleets and bases provisioned on time and on budget Strong partnership and credibility with Technical Operations and vendor stakeholders
