Job Description

Are you interested in working at the business end of Aerospace, where airline brand meets innovative passenger experience? Then your next opportunity could be with Safran Seats, an industry award-winning, premium designer and manufacturer of First and Business Class seating and technology. Our passenger experience prides itself on innovation, customization, quality, and industrial design.

At Safran Seats, we are unique within aerospace, as we interface with both the world's biggest airlines and airframers alike, with the largest seats portfolio of all seats suppliers. One day you could be liaising with one of the world's largest airframers, and the next, some of the biggest airline brands around the world!

In the UK, Safran Seats specializes solely in the First Class and Business Class seating markets for wide-body aircraft, with industrial and engineering teams in Cwmbran and Newport, Wales, and Brackley, England.

Job Summary:

Aviation Safety Management seeks to proactively mitigate safety risks before they result in aviation accidents and incidents. Although seats are rarely the cause of aircraft accidents, they play a critical part in the survivability, and therefore the severity outcome of aircraft accidents and incidents. Negative publicity resulting from poor safety performance can profoundly impact the business viability.

Therefore, the SGB Safety Management System Safety Officer/Reporting Manager:

• Is a strong communicator and promoter of Aviation Safety;
• Is constantly on the lookout for potential SGB product safety hazards;
• Acts effectively in reporting related safety risks to management for proactive mitigation;
• Ensures that accidents and incidents involving SGB products with airline customers are avoided or their severity minimized.

Aviation Safety Management is part of SMS – Safety Management System, a new ICAO Annex 19 requirement to be implemented by national authorities (UK CAA, EASA, etc.). Dedicated aviation safety resources are needed for the implementation of SMS across Safran Seats and Safran Seats GB, especially in Design, Production, and Maintenance regulations. These resources will support the SST SMS Safety Manager and/or the Compliance Monitoring & Safety Manager.

Responsibilities include:

• Ensuring compliance of processes with the SMS referential and Safran standards;
• Contributing to the sharing of good practices;
• Implementing SMS training for management, engineering, technicians, and workforce.
