Summer Internship – Supply Chain

This role is highly operational and plays a critical part in supporting New Product Introduction (NPI), reporting, and data accuracy, alongside ensuring materials flow smoothly to production every day. You will be responsible for raising and managing purchase orders, tracking supplier deliveries, maintaining system integrity, and ensuring parts and materials are available to support both live production and new programme launches.

A key element of this position is supporting NPI activities including monitoring part readiness, tracking supplier actions, updating project data, and providing clear, accurate reporting on programme status, risks, and delivery performance. Strong Excel capability is essential, as you will regularly analyse data, build reports, monitor KPIs, track supply performance, and present information in a structured and concise way to support decision making.

You will work closely with Procurement, Production, Planning, and Engineering teams, helping ensure the factory has the right materials at the right time to build and deliver aircraft seating to global customers. Building strong, proactive relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders will be essential to maintaining delivery performance and resolving issues quickly.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys structured environments, systems driven work, detailed reporting, and problem-solving, and who is looking to build a career within supply chain, procurement, and NPI programme support in a fast paced manufacturing environment.
