#ET11RTP Engineering Transformation project leader (h/f)

Job Description:

In order to support the Engineering transformation Airbus Helicopters is looking for an Engineering Transformation project leader (d/f/m).

You will join the Engineering Operations Enablers department (ETOE) being part of the "Transformation/Change management" squad. 

The mission of the department is to deliver enablers to boost the efficiency in Engineering while providing added value to our customers, in terms of Strategy, Transformation, Processes, Methods and Tools, and Ways of Working. 

ETOE provides an End-To-End vision and transversal project management of needed enablers while fostering local initiatives within Engineering departments.

 

We collaborate with and work closely with Information Management, Central Transformation and Digital Transformation Office organizations to lead business transformation within Airbus Helicopters Engineering.

We are a transnational team in France and Germany who believe in empowering our people, in simplifying our processes and tools and driving innovation.

In 2020, Airbus Helicopters Engineering (ET) has launched its transformation through the introduction of the new Ways of Working (WoW) and the Earned Value Management (EVM) methodology. In parallel, several transformation and improvement projects have been launched during the last 3 years with the objectives of reducing the Non Recurring Costs (NRC), reducing the lead time, leveraging the Digital revolution (Product Life Management, Simulation, Model Based System Engineering, etc) and reinforcing the predictability with an Engineering Cost Model (ECM).

As the external environment continues to be challenging (new regulations, increased competition, general inflation, etc), Airbus Helicopters Engineering (ET) continues its Transformation journey by setting up new ambitious targets to improve Performance and Productivity.

In order to meet the ambition, Airbus Helicopters is looking for additional motivated colleagues who will focus on continuing to transform the Design Office as well as delivering value for our internal and external customers.
