Location: Scunthorpe, United Kingdom Type: Permanent, Full-time Work mode: 3-4 office days, 1-2 days working from home Start Date: Ideally as soon as possible We are now looking for a Manager, Supply Chain & Procurement to take end-to-end ownership of sourcing, planning, and inventory control for our UK operations, while supporting R&D activities at our Finland headquarters. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys creating order in complex, variable environments. You like systems that run smoothly, plans that reflect reality, and decisions grounded in data. You are comfortable working in early-stage environments where structure still needs to be built - and you enjoy building it. The role is permanent, full-time, and based in Scunthorpe, the United Kingdom. Occasional travel within Europe, including Finland, may be required. Key Performance Objectives: In this role, success is defined by outcomes rather than tasks. Within your first 12-18 months, you will be expected to: Build and execute a robust sourcing strategy for bulk construction materials that balances cost, continuity of supply, and risk diversification. Establish and manage an approved supplier base with clear performance expectations, long-term agreements, and reliable delivery performance. Translate sales forecasts and order patterns into accurate material demand plans for: Admixtures 3D-printed mortar Batch-mixed self-compacting concrete Pre-bent and cut steel reinforcement bars Cement, aggregates, sand, cementitious substitutes (GGBS, PFA), and machine consumables Align demand plans with production capacity, batching constraints, and operational realities. Anticipate and manage seasonality, weather-driven demand spikes, and short lead-time orders. Define and maintain effective min/max inventory levels and safety stocks for silos, stockpiles, racking, and admixture tanks, in close collaboration with the Warehouse Manager. Protect material quality and working capital by preventing cement ageing, admixture expiry, and aggregate contamination. Own ERP/MRP planning parameters (lead times, reorder points, consumption rates) and ensure BOMs and mix designs align with planning logic. Run and validate MRP outputs, resolving shortages, excess inventory, and planning exceptions. Proactively identify supply risks (weather, quarry shutdowns, haulage constraints) and execute contingency plans. Improve visibility and decision-making through clear reporting on stock availability, inventory value, waste, and obsolescence. Drive measurable improvements in inventory turns, service levels, emergency buying, and material waste. What to consider before applying: What excites you about building predictable, resilient supply chains in a fast-growing industrial startup? Which accomplishments best demonstrate your ability to manage bulk materials, demand variability, and supply risk? How do you balance availability, working capital, and operational reality in your current or previous roles? What motivates you about working in a team where systems are still evolving and your input shapes how things are done? What we offer: Competitive salary (40,000 GBP/yearly and there's room for negotiation) Private medical insurance Workplace pension scheme 25 annual + 8 statutory holidays An exciting opportunity to become a part of brand-new operations team in the UK Full ownership to Supply Chain & Logistics matters Sounds exciting? Send your CV and motivation letter in English via our career website no later than 14:00, February 12th, 2026. We are continuously reviewing applications and will fill the role as soon as we find the right candidate. Hyperion Robotics embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe that the more inclusive we are, the better our company will be.

Safran is an international high-technology group, operating in the aviation (propulsion, equipment and interiors), defense and space markets. Its core purpose is to contribute to a safer, more sustainable world, where air transport is more environmentally friendly, comfortable and accessible. Safran has a global presence, with 100,000 employees and sales of 27.3 billion euros in 2024, and holds, alone or in partnership, world or regional leadership positions in its core markets. Safran is in the 2nd place in the aerospace and defense industry in TIME magazine's "World's best companies 2024" ranking. Safran Electronics & Defense offers its customers onboard intelligence solutions allowing them to understand the environment, reduce mental load and guarantee a trajectory, even in critical situations, in all environments: on land, at sea, in the sky or space. The company harnesses the expertise of its 13,000 employees towards these three functions: observe, decide and guide, for the civil and military markets. What does the role look like? We're recruiting for a site Manufacturing Engineering leadership role that will lead the Manufacturing Engineering function for our Actuation HQ. In this role you will oversee advanced manufacturing strategy, industrialisation of new technologies and products, and development of a strong, capability-driven engineering team. While aerospace experience is ideal, candidates from similarly complex, regulated, high-precision manufacturing environments are also welcomed. The focus is on driving reliability, manufacturability, and competitive advantage through technical excellence and disciplined execution. What will your day-to-day responsibilities look like? Advanced Manufacturing Shape and deliver the site's advanced manufacturing roadmap, including automation, robotics, digital manufacturing, non-conventional processes, and next-generation aerospace production technologies. Evaluate and implement new equipment, techniques, and process innovations that enhance capability, repeatability, and cost competitiveness. Embed a data-led culture using real-time process monitoring, statistical control, and advanced analytics to improve yield and quality. Industrialisation & New Product Introduction (NPI) Own the industrialisation strategy for new programmes, modifications, and design changes, ensuring robust manufacturability and compliance with aerospace standards. Lead cross-functional readiness reviews, sign-off processes, and validation activities (PFMEAs, control plans, FAIR/AS9102 requirements). Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain and Operations to build designs, processes, and tooling that deliver right-first-time launch. Reduce development and ramp-up time by strengthening NPI frameworks, technology readiness assessments, and production readiness plans. Team Leadership & Capability Development Lead and grow a high-performing Manufacturing Engineering team covering process engineering, automation, industrialisation, CI, and tooling. Set and manage clear priorities across cost, quality, delivery, and capability development. Build future talent through structured development pathways, mentoring, succession planning, and skills uplift. Promote rigorous problem-solving (8D, RCCA) and disciplined operating rhythms aligned to aerospace standards and customer expectations. Operational Excellence & Compliance Own process stability and continuous improvement initiatives focused on yield, flow, OEE, and scrap reduction. Ensure alignment with aerospace regulations and standards (AS9100, NADCAP, customer-specific requirements). Oversee capital investment aligned to long-term aerospace programme requirements and technology competitiveness. Work closely with Maintenance and Operations to maximise asset performance and embed robust process control. What will you bring to the role? Essential skills : Leadership experience in Manufacturing Engineering within aerospace or a similarly complex, regulated sector (e.g., defence, automotive, precision engineering, high-value industrials). Proven track record in automation, industrialisation, process optimisation, and large-scale production improvement. Previous knowledge or experience of leading high performance teams Desirable skills: Demonstrated success launching new products or technologies in a demanding engineering environment. Deep understanding of Lean, Six Sigma, and structured problem-solving. Familiarity with aerospace standards (AS9100, FAIRs, PPAP/APQP equivalents, NADCAP) advantageous but not mandatory for top-tier candidates from other advanced sectors.
