Acheteur pour le Système Propulsif du Programme A220

You have experience in aeronautics or any other industry, you have worked in purchasing and/or procurement and you want to evolve and develop new skills? This position is for you!

The A220 commercial aircraft program is looking for a buyer for the propulsion systems/engines to join our Purchasing team based in Mirabel (Quebec, Canada).

You will be part of the engine purchasing team and will be responsible for contract administration and operational/industrial support.

You will be part of the purchasing team that develops the procurement strategy, contracting, and supplier performance management.

The propulsion system is not a simple "commodity". It is the heart of the aircraft, a system of extreme technical complexity whose performance directly impacts the energy efficiency, noise footprint, and reliability of the A220. Your challenge will be to translate these technical requirements into purchasing strategies and commercial negotiations to ensure that our contracts with the engine manufacturer are not only competitive, but also aligned with future innovations and the program's performance objectives. You will need to master the technical, legal, and financial implications of each contractual decision.

The team organization is established in such a way as to promote cross-functional collaboration autonomously, supporting each other and learning collectively.

Your challenges:

• Lead contract administration activities: monitor performance and proper application of contract terms and conditions in coordination with operational and supplier management teams, manage contract amendments and claims, where applicable
• Ensure regular coordination with internal stakeholders and within the propulsion systems purchasing community
• Produce periodic reports, develop and update key performance indicators (KPIs) regarding timelines, deliverables, and performance
• Review monthly account statements, unpaid invoices, and billing discrepancies with the finance department, and ensure consistency with the finance department regarding the disbursement profile
• Provide operational support to aircraft assembly lines and supplier support teams, provide support for aircraft deliveries and interact with the supplier for commitment letters if necessary
• Negotiate non-quality and secondary flow costs with the supplier
• Supplier relationship management and implementation of optimization projects aimed at maximizing customer value and reducing total cost of ownership and risk

In summary, this position manages the complete administration of the PW1500G contract (transactions, compliance, finance) and ensures operational and industrial support, including cost negotiation. You will be the focal point guaranteeing contractual compliance, financial flow, and operational support essential to the final assembly line of A220 aircraft.
