Material Planner

**COMPANY**

easyJet has been decisive in meeting the challenges presented by the current pandemic by cutting costs, reducing our capex while retaining our fleet flexibility and securing an additional £2bn in funding. As Europe emerges from the Covid-19 crisis, easyJet is well placed to strengthen its leading position as a trusted brand offering value for money with an industry-leading network of primary airports.

Our culture, known as our orange spirit, is a real thing. It is people who love to work with fast paced, quick thinking and energetic people. You need to have resilience to work here (as recent events have shown) but the experience you gain is like no other.

**TEAM**
There are over 3 million parts that make up an easyJet Airbus A320 aircraft. But, at the critical moment, it is that one part that is preventing the aircraft from taking-off that we care about most. With over 500,000 parts transactions a year, easyJet’s E&M supply chain team’s purpose is to maximise aircraft availability whilst reducing inventory costs.

Handling over $250M of aircraft parts distributed across the European network with an annual spend in excess of £150M, the supply chain team manages the complete end-to-end process from supplier selection and supplier management through to the delivery of goods and services.

The supply chain team comprises highly motivated and dedicated professionals who succeed in a fast-paced, relentless and uncompromising environment that affords an essential flow of parts and services to support the operation.
