Position Summary
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.

The role operates as a key planning interface between the Customer Regional teams and Aftermarket Operations.
What you will be doing:
- Inform and deploy the Value Stream's fleet strategy and policy into an operationally deliverable plan
- Aggregate & optimise fleet level maintenance plans using intelligent planning techniques to maximise fleet health.
- Own the removal demand plan for the allocated product.
- Identify, coordinate and mitigate specific customer fleet operational risks.
- Create lease engine allocation plans.
- Maintenance of relevant fleet planning elements in Maximo for Aviation.
- Actively participate in global fleet health governance and improvement activities.
