Have you always had a passion for aviation? Do you want to delve deeper into the administration of aircraft components? And does it seem great to satisfy customers every day together with a fun team? Then apply for the position of Repair Administrator Special Ops within Team Repair Operations in Engineering & Maintenance.

Daily, you process the administration of complex and valuable aircraft parts, such as landing gear, thrust reversers, and auxiliary power units. In the event of a defect, you collect and check all documents for the repair. After that, you provide the correct information to an internal or external supplier and track the progress.

Furthermore:

• you ensure that suppliers receive complete and correct repair documents;
• you carefully maintain the administration of assembled aircraft parts;
• you collect all necessary documentation for the phase-out of various aircraft types;
• you check your work accurately, where quality is more important than speed.

You will be working at Schiphol Oost and your office is located in a hangar where aircraft are stationed for long-term maintenance. The Repair Operations team consists of over 40 colleagues, 2 Team Leaders, and 3 Team Leads. The Repair Administrator Special Ops team forms a sub-team of this. It is a diverse team and the atmosphere is experienced as good. Weekly, you have a check-in with each other to review and distribute the daily activities. The position is in principle performed in the office (Mon to Fri) and the working hours are from 07:00 to 15:30. With high exception, work is performed outside these days/times; these are then ad-hoc tasks and are assigned in consultation with the team.

You have an affinity for administrative work and are strong in communication. You seek this combination in your future position. Additionally, you work accurately and feel responsible for your work. Besides being able to work independently, you are also a true team player. Analyzing problems to find the right information makes you curious.

Furthermore:

• Do you have experience and affinity with technical administration and the analysis thereof;
• Do you have experience with various IT systems such as Microsoft Office (specifically Excel), CROCOS & SAP, and do you pick up new systems quickly;
• Do you possess a completed MBO 4 diploma;
• Are you available full-time;
• Do you speak and write Dutch and English fluently
• Do you have extensive knowledge of aircraft components and preferably experience with creating repair orders and invoices;
• If you have IIG (Inspector Incoming Goods) experience, that is a plus, but not necessary
