This position works closely with Maintenance, Planning, Production, Quality, Procurement, and other departments to ensure the right materials are available when needed to support aircraft schedules.

The ideal candidate understands that aviation materials management is about more than inventory. Proper documentation, traceability, accuracy, and timely material support are critical to maintaining safe and efficient aircraft operations.

What You'll Be Doing

• Receive aircraft parts, components, materials, and supplies.
• Verify incoming materials against purchase orders, packing slips, and shipping documentation.
• Review aviation documentation and traceability paperwork for completeness and accuracy.
• Identify and properly handle serviceable, unserviceable, repairable, and quarantined materials.
• Maintain proper segregation and storage of aircraft parts and materials.
• Issue aircraft parts and materials to maintenance personnel in support of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
• Maintain accurate inventory quantities, locations, part numbers, serial numbers, and associated records.
• Perform inventory cycle counts and assist with physical inventories.
• Research and resolve inventory discrepancies.
• Maintain proper control of shelf-life and time-sensitive materials.
• Monitor inventory levels and communicate shortages or critical material requirements.
• Coordinate with Procurement and Maintenance regarding parts requirements and material status.
• Assist with locating and expediting aircraft parts required to meet maintenance schedules.
• Process material returns and ensure parts are properly returned to inventory or routed for repair.
• Prepare aircraft parts and materials for shipment.
• Coordinate inbound and outbound shipments with carriers and vendors.
• Maintain shipping, receiving, and inventory documentation.
• Ensure materials are properly packaged, labeled, protected, and stored.
• Support AOG and other urgent material requirements as needed.
• Maintain clean, organized, and controlled stockroom and warehouse areas.
• Follow company procedures regarding parts traceability, documentation, inventory control, and material handling.
• Work closely with Quality personnel when documentation or material discrepancies are identified.
• Assist with company tooling, consumables, and general inventory requirements as needed.
• Support continuous improvement of ASP's material and inventory processes.
• Perform other duties as assigned to support aircraft maintenance operations.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in aviation materials, aircraft parts, inventory control, logistics, warehousing, procurement support, or a related field.
• Knowledge of aircraft parts and aviation material-handling requirements preferred.
• Understanding of aircraft part numbers, serial numbers, and traceability documentation.
• Ability to read and understand purchase orders, packing slips, invoices, certificates, and other material documentation.
• Experience with inventory management or ERP systems.
• Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate documentation.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced maintenance environment.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate effectively with Maintenance, Quality, Planning, Procurement, vendors, and other departments.
• Ability to work independently while also contributing as part of a team.
• Willingness to work overtime, weekends, or adjusted schedules when required to support aircraft operations.

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of aviation materials, aircraft parts, logistics, or inventory experience.
• Previous experience supporting an MRO, airline, military aviation, OEM, or aircraft maintenance operation.
• Experience with aviation inventory or ERP systems.
• Familiarity with FAA documentation and aircraft parts traceability requirements.
• Experience with shelf-life control, serialized components, repairable components, and consumable materials.
• Experience with AOG material support and expedited shipping.
• Experience with shipping carriers and domestic/international shipping documentation.
• Forklift or material-handling equipment experience is a plus.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to regularly stand, walk, bend, reach, and perform material-handling activities.
• Ability to lift and move aircraft parts, materials, boxes, and equipment as required.
• Ability to work in warehouse, stockroom, hangar, and aircraft maintenance environments.
• Ability to safely operate material-handling equipment when trained and authorized.

What Success Looks Like

A successful Aviation Materials Specialist understands that the maintenance team cannot complete the job without the right parts, in the right place, with the right documentation, at the right time.

This individual will take ownership of material requirements, maintain accurate inventory and traceability, communicate shortages early, and work closely with the maintenance and procurement teams to keep aircraft projects moving.
