Descripción del empleo

IAG Engine Tech is at a stage of transformation and growth that requires turning strategic and operational challenges into concrete, coordinated and results-oriented projects.

Objectives

• Support the execution of priority transformation projects, turning problems or opportunities into structured and measurable work plans.
• Ensure that assigned projects have clear objectives, scope, owners, plans, indicators, risks and success criteria.
• Improve coordination across areas and the discipline used to track actions, milestones, blockers and decisions.
• Provide analyses and recommendations that help solve problems and support well-informed decisions.
• Contribute to improving processes, ways of working, capabilities and tools within the scope of each project.
• Support the implementation and adoption of solutions, verifying that results are sustained once the initial phase is complete.
• Develop and reuse methods, analyses and tools that strengthen the execution capability of the Transformation team.
• Facilitate collaboration among business areas, support functions, technical teams and external partners.

Education, skills and experience

• Degree in Industrial Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Organisation and Management, Business Administration, Telecommunications, Computer Science, Data/Analytics or an equivalent qualification.
• Professional experience in an industrial, operations, maintenance, manufacturing or supply chain environment, together with participation in transformation, performance improvement, digitalisation, continuous improvement, PMO or consulting projects.
• Ability to understand business and process problems, structure them and convert them into practical work plans.

Technical skills

• Project management: planning, milestones, actions, risks, dependencies, indicators, deliverables and decisions.
