About The Position

Satair is looking for a Production Process Manager to join our team in Dulles, Va. The Production Process Manager is a pivotal role within Kitting Operations, acting as the bridge between high-level process architecture and operational execution. Beyond standard production planning, this individual serves as the Process Owner Delegate, holding primary responsibility for the design, documentation, and governance of all kitting workflows within the Quality Management System (QMS). The role requires a rare blend of deep SAP technical expertise (specifically in complex troubleshooting and transaction reversals) and strategic stakeholder management. You will be responsible for ensuring that all kitting activities are not only efficient and on-time but also strictly compliant with engineering definitions and aerospace regulatory standards.
In support of Warehouse Operations, our team members support everything from receiving to packing and shipping of materials. The warehouse is at the core of our operations, assuring that Team Airbus members and our customers get the materials they need to be successful.
Located minutes away from the Washington Dulles International Airport, and approximately 30 miles from the U.S. Capitol, this site serves as our major parts distribution hub in the Americas. The facility is a 24/7 fulfillment center, with an Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support desk, and Quality Assurance (QA) operations. To best support our customers, our 20,000-square-foot warehouse features a brand new technology called Autostore, aiming at increasing productivity.
A full job description will be provided to candidates who progress to the interview stage or any candidate upon request.
