Job description

The Manufacturing Engineering Project Coordinator is the maturity pilot for the Manufacturing Engineering discipline at the Safran Seats Dubai site.

The role defines the Manufacturing Engineering maturity roadmap for Dubai (Qualifying level, Bronze, and beyond) and accompanies the future Dubai Manufacturing Engineering Manager(s) as their hands‑on right hand through this maturity journey.

Key Responsibilities and Duties :

• Pilot the maturity deployment of the Manufacturing Engineering discipline at the Dubai site, ensuring processes, tools and practices are installed to state-of-the-art / One Safran standards.
• Define and maintain the Manufacturing Engineering maturity roadmap for Dubai (Qualifying level, Bronze, and subsequent levels), aligned with the One Safran maturity grid.
• Deploy and maintain the One Safran Manufacturing Engineering handbook, maturity grids, standard KPIs, and QRQC methodology at the Dubai site.
• Report maturity progress and KPIs to the Manufacturing Engineering BPM/BPO, acting as the functional reference point for Manufacturing Engineering topics at Dubai.
• Identify gaps versus the One Safran reference framework and define, track, and close the associated action plans.
• Support and coach the future Dubai Manufacturing Engineering Manager(s) in building their team's maturity, acting as their hands‑on "right hand" during the ramp‑up phase.
• Facilitate QRQC routines and structured problem-solving within the discipline at Dubai.
• Represent the Manufacturing Engineering discipline (not a specific product line) across all Dubai projects.
• Benchmark Dubai's practices against other Safran Seats and Safran sites, and bring back best practices from the One Safran network.
• Build Dubai team capability in Manufacturing Engineering through training, coaching, and knowledge transfer.
• Escalate maturity risks or resource gaps to the BPM/BPO and the Dubai Industrial Project Manager.
• Pilot the maturity of routings, workstation design, tooling, and line balancing practices at Dubai against the One Safran Manufacturing Engineering maturity grid.
• Support the structuring of methods documentation (routings, control plans, work instructions) in line with One Safran standards.

But what else? (advantages, specificities, etc.)

The role is function-based, not product-based: it covers Manufacturing Engineering practices across all product lines and projects at Dubai (Economy Class, Business Class, and any future lines), rather than being dedicated to a single one.

Candidate skills & requirements

• Experience in methods engineering, industrial engineering, or manufacturing engineering, ideally in an industrial or aerospace environment
• Familiarity with assembly routings, time studies, workstation/tooling design, and line balancing principles
• Experience with maturity models, standard deployment, or continuous improvement frameworks
• Familiarity with QRQC methodology and KPI/performance management systems
• 5 to 8 years of relevant experience, ideally in aerospace or a demanding industrial environment
