Job purpose
Emirates Engineering is one of the world's most technologically advanced aircraft maintenance facilities. We are GCAA CAR V approved and support the world’s largest fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, operated by Emirates. We also support the fleets of thirty other airlines through third-party maintenance contracts.
Our exceptional team sets industry benchmarks. All Emirates Engineering personnel are fully qualified at all levels. They manage and implement all aspects of maintenance, engineering, quality, planning and logistics.
Our diligence is uncompromising, our commitment to quality and superior levels of safety is unwavering. And this has established our reputation for world-leading aircraft maintenance.
Support purchasing of aircraft spares, buyer furnished equipment (BFE), tools, consumables and modification/retrofit materials required by engineering in order to support the business to maintain desired aircraft dispatch reliability standards.

Support timely sourcing (where applicable), purchasing and borrowing of limited assigned group of items, including BFE and retrofit/mod items and breakdown spares of in-house repairable items in line with the procurement policy, EK Engineering procedures and authority manual to effectively support daily operations, fleet improvement and fleet growth/phase out plan.
Assist in meeting objectives of supply chain management on weekly, monthly and annual basis to measure and control overdue orders, backlogs, vendor performance and other agreed strategic key performance indicators (KPI). Highlight critical service delivery failures and escalate corrective actions to maintain performance, productivity and delivery at the agreed level.
Support in price and lead time review in collaboration with Contracts Management Unit (CMU) to identify and challenge vendors on any variance not in line with the relevant contract (like: Boeing PSAA, Airbus SSC, EK agreements, etc.) and address such changes and any other issues with vendors.

For values above financial limit, recommend for approval from competent authority prior to release.
Prepare and execute EK Engineering related service order post receipt of approved RFS (Request for Service) and valid vendor quotation/contract from requesting stakeholder. Inform Group Accounts Payable (GAPS) to proceed with the invoice payment once requesting stakeholder confirms successful completion of required service by vendor.
Assist in BFE list evaluation for new aircraft delivery, major retrofits and validation of contractual pricing against approved budget. Follow-up on BFE orders until delivery based on On-Dock Date (ODD) and invoice clearance.
Maintain effective relationship with internal stakeholders and vendors to ensure on time delivery of required materials, support cost optimisation opportunities where possible and maintain a positive and responsive approach towards problem resolution to enhance productivity and quality of service.
