An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual to join the Trent XWB Commercial Aviation Value Stream team as Fleet Planner.

With over 600 aircraft in service and a growing orderbook of 1300 aircraft, the Trent XWB Value Stream covers the full scope of activity for both engines in service and development. This provides a unique opportunity to develop business breadth, lead a team and play a pivotal role in delivering Rolls-Royce’s financial commitments.

This role, reporting to the Product Services Manager, is responsible for utilising the demand planning policy and developing an aftermarket engine removal plan over the short-term (13 week) & medium-term (up to 3 years). From this, the successful candidate will maintain a fleet health forecast plus determine the risks and mitigation actions to ensure timely execution of the plan. This underpins the creation of the aftermarket overhaul and maintenance demand signal and the creation of the operational and financial plans. The role operates as a key planning interface between the Customer Regional teams and Aftermarket Operations.

Responsibilities:

In this role you will inform and deploy the Value Stream's fleet strategy and policy into an operationally deliverable plan, as well as:
