JOB OVERVIEW

Responsible for driving the timely physical return of leased aircraft engines from lessees to enable rapid redeployment and revenue generation. The role is execution‑focused and centered on schedule ownership, coordination, escalation, and problem‑solving working in close coordination with Technical Asset Management to ensure engines are rapidly returned and shipped to their next mission. The primary measure of success is how quickly engines are removed, returned, and made available for redeployment.

Responsibilities:

• Engine & Modules Redelivery & Recovery Execution
  • Own the end‑to‑end execution of engine returns from lessees following lease expiry, termination, or early return.
  • Actively drive engine removal timelines, working directly with airline powerplant, maintenance, and operations teams.
  • Identify and resolve execution bottlenecks that delay removals, inspections, or returns.
  • Maintain clear visibility of upcoming engine returns and readiness for redeployment.

• Lessee Coordination & Escalation
  • Coordinate with Lessee’s and internal stakeholders on physical redelivery scheduling, execution, and logistics.
  • Apply appropriate pressure and escalation where lessees are slow to act or deprioritize removals.
  • Support lessees where necessary by helping coordinate practical solutions (removal locations, tooling, on-wing inspections, shop slots, logistics, interim storage, etc..)

• Coordination with Technical Asset Management (Non‑Overlapping)
  • Work closely with Technical Asset Management to:
    • Confirm redelivery condition requirements
    • Distinguish genuine technical blockers from execution delays
    • Ensure inspections and documentation align with agreed standards and redeployment plans
  • Rely on Technical Asset Management for technical determinations, while retaining ownership of execution timing and follow‑up.

• Logistics, Documentation & Readiness
  • Coordinate inspections, borescopes, preservation, packaging, and transport associated with engine returns.
  • Ensure returned engines are positioned for immediate redeployment, shop input, or next lease with minimal idle time.

• Commercial Support
  • Provide execution‑driven input into:
    • Lease extensions vs. removals
    • Early return discussions
    • Redeployment sequencing and prioritization
    • Support the Head of Engine Leasing with real‑time execution intelligence during customer negotiations.

Success Measures

• Time from lease end / termination to engine removal
• Time from removal to engine under company control
• Reduction in idle or stranded engines
• Improved redeployment speed across the engine portfolio

Experience & Profile

• Preferred Background:
  • Aircraft and Engine leasing operations
  • Airline powerplant or technical operations
  • Engine transitions, recovery, or asset execution roles
  • MRO or shop‑interface roles with strong execution responsibility

Key Skills & Attributes:

• Experience with CFM56 engines (5B / ‑7B)
• Strong execution and follow‑through mindset
• Must be willing to travel globally
• Comfortable applying professional pressure to airline counterparts
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple concurrent engine returns
• Commercially aware and solution-oriented
• Strong communication skills across technical, legal, and commercial stakeholders
