About the Job
Help Us Build What's Next
If you’re excited about Greenjets but can’t see a suitable live vacancy, use this advert to register your interest!
Greenjets is entering a defining phase of growth.
As we transition from an R&D-led organisation into a scaled manufacturing and operational business, we are creating entirely new teams, functions and business units across the company. This is a rare opportunity to join at the beginning - helping shape not just products, but the way the business operates for years to come.
We're looking for ambitious people who want more than business-as-usual. People who are energised by building rather than maintaining. People who see a blank sheet of paper as an opportunity rather than a risk.
Whether your expertise lies in Supply Chain, Production, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, Logistics, Health & Safety, Engineering or Test, you'll have the opportunity to influence how systems, processes, teams and capabilities are established and scaled.
This isn't about inheriting mature structures and established ways of working. It's about helping create them.
We're building the foundations of a world-class aerospace manufacturing organisation, and we're looking for talented individuals who want to be part of that journey.
Areas we're actively growing include:
Supply Chain & Procurement
Production Planning & Control
Production Leadership & Manufacturing Operations
Production Engineers & Technicians (3D Printing, Machining, Composites, Harness Build, General Assembly)
Quality Management, Quality Engineering, Quality Assurance & Inspection
Manufacturing Engineering
Logistics, Warehousing, Import/Export, Trade Compliance & Export Control
Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE)
Engineering
Test & Validation
Project Management
What You'll Do
Depending on your discipline and level of experience, you could be:
Building new functions, processes and capabilities from the ground up.
Defining standards, systems and best practices that will support future growth.
Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, scalability and operational performance.
Collaborating with leaders across engineering, manufacturing and operations to solve complex challenges.
Supporting the transition from development programmes into scalable production.
Driving continuous improvement and helping establish a culture of operational excellence.
Influencing organisational design, ways of working and long-term business strategy.
Taking ownership of significant challenges and delivering tangible business impact.
Helping create a high-performance organisation capable of delivering world-class aerospace products.
Desirable Qualifications, Experience & Attributes
We're less interested in people who've simply operated within established environments, and more interested in people who've helped create them.
You'll likely bring:
Experience within manufacturing, aerospace, defence, automotive, motorsport, engineering or similarly complex technical industries.
A track record of building, improving or transforming processes, systems or teams.
The ability to operate effectively in fast-moving and evolving environments.
Strong problem-solving skills and a bias toward action.
A pragmatic, hands-on approach balanced with strategic thinking.
The confidence to make decisions, challenge assumptions and drive change.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
A passion for innovation, continuous improvement and operational excellence.
Relevant qualifications, technical training or equivalent industry experience within your field.
Most importantly, you'll be excited by the opportunity to help build something from the ground up.
Why Greenjets?
Because opportunities like this don't come around often.
You'll join a company at the point where ideas become industrial capability. Where new business units, teams and functions are being built in real time. Where your contribution won't be measured by how well you maintain the status quo, but by the legacy you help create.
If you're looking for a genuine 0→1 opportunity - to build, shape and scale a world-class aerospace business - we'd love to hear from you.
The Process
Because we're speaking to lots of great people across all functions!
Your profile will be reviewed (by a human being!)
You will have an initial 30 - 45 minute call with a member of the Talent Acquisition team
You'll be invited to an assessment centre, where we'll hold dedicated interview days with all relevant Greenjets decision makers / interviewers.
