Maintenance Production Planner - Contract Role
A rare opportunity to join a high-profile military aviation programme in a pivotal planning role. We’re recruiting on behalf of a leading defence aviation operator for an experienced Maintenance Production Planner to support delivery of a fast-paced L159 Base Maintenance Programme. If you thrive in a structured MRO environment and know how to turn a work scope into an executable plan, this role was built for you.
The Role
You’ll be the engine behind maintenance delivery — translating approved work scopes into sequenced, resourced, material‑ready plans that keep aircraft moving and line operations supported. This is a hands‑on planning role that sits at the heart of base maintenance output.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Developing and maintaining detailed maintenance schedules aligned to aircraft delivery targets
* Translating approved work scopes into work packs and task sequences per company policies and procedures
* Ensuring labour, skills, tooling, and materials are in place before work begins
* Coordinating with procurement and stores to guarantee parts are available at point of use
* Monitoring progress against plan, identifying risks and critical path impacts early
* Driving recovery actions for delays, shortages, and emerging issues
* Liaising with CAMO Maintenance Planning to maintain work scope alignment and AMP compliance
* Supporting aircraft throughput to enable downstream line operations availability
* Maintaining accurate planning records and configuration control data
* Ensuring all activity complies with CAA Part 145, MAA (where applicable), and MOE requirements
What You’ll Need
* Proven experience in aviation production planning, maintenance planning, or MRO operations
* Strong working knowledge of the CAA Part 145 environment and maintenance flow
* Experience managing resource planning, materials coordination, and schedule delivery
* Familiarity with maintenance planning systems or MRO software
* The ability to manage competing priorities in a fast‑paced operational environment
* Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
Desirable
* Knowledge of CAMO functions and AMP control
* Experience in military or mixed‑regulation environments (MAA / FAA / EASA)
* Understanding of SMS and quality systems
* Familiarity with ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001, 27001)
Other Requirements
* Relevant technical or engineering qualification
* Ability to obtain SC clearance
* High level of integrity, resilience, and accountability
