Your main responsibilities will include:

• Review contracts to identify and manage applicable guarantees, rebates, and cost recovery opportunities

• Provide technical and utilisation data to suppliers in line with contractual obligations
• Collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to reconcile data, ensure agreement, and submit claims
• Liaise regularly with Finance to track and apply credits received
• Deliver reporting and analytical support to Engineering Commercial, and help drive cost reduction through contractual remedies

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate the following skills & experience:

• Tertiary qualifications in business, finance, or engineering (MCIPS or similar is a plus)
• Strong contract development or commercial experience, ideally within aviation or engineering
• High-level attention to detail, with excellent organisational and time management skills
• Strong data analysis and reporting experience, ideally using Excel or similar tools
• Ability to interpret technical documentation and supplier contracts
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships
• A proactive and process-driven approach, with a focus on commercial outcomes
• Understanding of technical guarantees such as reliability or maintenance cost guarantees is desirable

We’re looking for someone who brings a strong commercial mindset, excellent attention to detail, and the confidence to work across technical, financial, and contractual domains. You’ll take ownership of your portfolio, build productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and play a key role in driving cost recovery outcomes for Engineering.
