Exciting Opportunity with a Leading Aerospace Client
We are recruiting for an experienced Expeditor on a contract basis to join a leading aerospace manufacturing programme. Working within the Scheduling team and reporting to the Scheduling Manager, the Expeditor will take ownership of critical parts and recovery-plan orders, ensuring they progress efficiently through production and are delivered on time.
This is an excellent opportunity for an organised and proactive Expeditor to play a vital role in maintaining manufacturing flow, removing operational constraints, and supporting the successful delivery of aerospace components in a highly regulated environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and manage a portfolio of critical parts and recovery-plan orders from release through to shipment.
- Track and monitor critical parts through every stage of the manufacturing process.
- Identify and eliminate bottlenecks, waiting time, and non-value-added delays between operations.
- Ensure all critical parts have a defined next action, owner, and recovery plan at all times.
- Work closely with Schedulers, Production Team Leaders, Quality Technicians, Logistics teams, and Operators to maintain flow and remove obstacles.
- Lead daily critical-part reviews and communicate priorities across operational teams.
- Escalate and drive resolution of issues including material shortages, quality concerns, machine downtime, and resource constraints.
- Monitor adherence to recovery plans and challenge priorities where necessary to protect delivery commitments.
- Support initiatives aimed at reducing manufacturing lead times and improving operational performance.
