Job description

About the Company

Riyadh Air (RX), headquartered in the Saudi Capital, is the new national airline that's shaping the future of flying. It seeks to lead the aviation industry by transforming Saudi Arabia into a global aviation and trade hub - a digitally native airline that will connect the kingdom to more than 100 destinations.

About the Role

Are you the type of person who gets excited about precision data, optimal inventory levels and a passion for ensuring seamless operations?

We are seeking a Material Planner to oversee the timely procurement, supply, and inventory of materials needed for maintenance, repairs, and operational support.

In this role, you will closely collaborate with internal teams, OEMs and external suppliers ensuring parts and materials are readily available, championing operational efficiency and minimising aircraft downtime.

Critically, you will also support budget management, optimise inventory turnover, and implement best practices in material planning to align with operational goals.

Yours days will be spent speaking "Aviation Part Numbers" (it's like learning a new language, but with more numbers).

About You

Diploma qualified, you will possess at least 3 years of experience in a similar role demonstrating an understanding of aviation components.

We’d love to hear from you even more if you are familiar with regulatory compliance requirements (FAA, EASA).

This is your opportunity to shape the future of air travel. Bring your best and show us why you can own this position within Riyadh Air.
