Luton, United Kingdom TUI Full time

The way we work across the TUI Group is changing. Our goal is to be a truly integrated, digitally empowered, global travel company, utilising the same platforms and processes to deliver the most competitive, innovative and desired holiday experience for our customers. As Head of Base Maintenance, you will play a key role in driving this agenda by further developing, improving and implementing the E&M Base Maintenance organisation in TUI Aviation. You will also drive the further digitalisation, process standardisation and pan-European optimisation of the E&M Base Maintenance organisation.

The role of the Head of Base Maintenance is to manage all internal base maintenance requirements ensuring the maintenance programme is delivered as efficiently as possible across two heavy maintenance facilities. This includes maximising the operational capability and flexibility of our internal Base Maintenance capacities, ensuring full capacity usage where it makes financial and/or operational sense, in coordination with outsourced heavy maintenance activities for all fleet types, to maximise operational flexibility and delivery. Leading a global team of c. 200 colleagues with a seasonal contract labour complement, and managing a budget of c. 100m EUR excluding overheads, you will design and deliver a dual location base maintenance operation, coordinated via a centralised production planning and support team.

The Head of Base Maintenance leads multiple unionised workforces to deliver a punctual, efficient and cost competitive operation in line with the maintenance strategy to the highest quality and safety standards, whilst consistently seeking opportunities for further improvement.

You will split your time between our heavy maintenance facilities in Luton and Brussels, so flexibility to travel regularly between these 2 locations is required. There may be additional occasion travel to other European locations.
