Our world is changing. And so are we. From our commitment to zero‑carbon flight (#ZEROe) to cleaning up space, sustainability is at the heart of our purpose.

Looking for a people‑focused role? Passionate about untangling situations? Interested in enhancing your Configuration Management or Document Management experience? Background in rigorous data control? Then we might have the role for you!

ABOUT THE ROLE

The work you support will travel to the stars and impact generations to come.

This role will appeal to people who enjoy the combined elements of digging down into the nitty gritty of data (we’re talking formatting, cross‑checking and going through pages of data) and then rolling up your sleeves and talking through, step by step, why something needs changing, or talking with the user until you see the light‑bulb of understanding.

Advanced Word, Excel and PowerPoint skills required, specifically tables, formatting, cross‑referencing, merging, editing and templates. This is not your usual “I can bold, italicise and underline” type role.

This role comes with several career paths: Audit, Documentation Management and Config Management.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM

• Uphold, communicate and facilitate understanding of the Configuration Management (CM) guidelines and tools. This includes working with your team and supporting users on a daily basis.
• Champion the Configuration Management policies by reaching out, informing, questioning and ensuring consistency across the business unit.
• Record, control, maintain and monitor data and documents in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB).
• Utilise your advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook skills to edit document formats, tables, templates and figures to meet data control standards.
• Learn and appreciate the importance of the tools, policies and procedures.

ABOUT YOU

• Previous experience in ONE of the following: Configuration Management (CM), Technical Data management, Librarianship/Document Management.
• Interested in bringing new ideas to improve current policies and procedures.
• Passionate about assisting users and adjusting communication styles for different users.
• Looking for a role where “crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s” is important. Where finding solutions might mean an internet search or reaching out to a colleague.
• Advanced user of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and Outlook.
• Previous experience with file / data management tools (MS Office, PDF editor, FTP, Nero, etc.).
• Previous experience with Product Lifecycle Management tools (Windchill, Teamcenter, Aras Minerva, etc.).
