Change Management Method Coordinator in Montréal

We invite you to work at Airbus Atlantique, a new global champion, No. 2 in aerostructures, No. 1 in pilot seats, and in the Top 3 for Premium passenger seats. Our Airbus Atlantic site based in Mirabel is looking for its future Configuration Methods Agent – Change Management Coordinator.

Within a dynamic Methods team of about twenty people, you will play a pivotal role at the crossroads of the Program, Engineering Office (BE), Quality (QA), Production, and Supply Chain. Your main mission will be to steer, coordinate, and secure the integration of technical modifications and configuration changes (IS, Modsum, ECIN, date) on the A220 program assembly line.

Under the supervision of the Methods Supervisor - Configuration, you will guarantee the traceability of modifications, the fluidity of data entry engineering, and the control of the application rank (MSN effectivity) for the Airbus Atlantic Canada site in Mirabel.

The Methods department is a team of enthusiasts who work collaboratively and in good spirits. Our mission is to take on challenges with the priority of supporting production in the assembly of aerospace products while guaranteeing configuration integrity.

Responsibilities

• Steering configuration changes: Coordinate and monitor the incorporation of modification notices, Data Entry Engineering (IS/PIS), Modsums, and ECINs (Engineering Change Incorporation Notice) with internal stakeholders and suppliers. Support production in carrying out repair work.
• Engineering, Program, Quality, Tooling, Supply & Methods Interface: Analyze the impacts of modifications issued by the Engineering Office (BE 6.1 / 6.3) on manufacturing files and transfer requirements to series preparers.
• Workload vs. Capacity Analysis: Continuously evaluate the workload generated by upcoming modifications, analyze the realization capacity of the Methods team, and proactively identify bottlenecks or operational overloads.
• Governance and Performance Dashboards (KPIs): Define, populate, and animate the sector's key performance indicators (on-time incorporation rate, work-in-progress of modifications, delays, remaining capacity) to support Methods management decision-making.
• Arbitrage and Load Smoothing: Propose arbitrage scenarios (load smoothing, prioritization of critical files, recourse to reinforcement or subcontracting) in the event of a gap between the requested load and the team's actual capacity.
• Inter-site and Partner Alignment: Harmonize load plans and implementation schedules with counterpart teams (e.g., Mirabel, Mobile, major suppliers like AACo) to secure the consistency of delivery effectivities.

Desired Skills

• You have a college or university diploma in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aeronautical manufacturing, or any other relevant diploma.
• Minimum of 3 to 5 years of experience in methods, configuration management, or technical preparation in the aeronautical sector.
• Good knowledge or understanding of structure and systems assembly processes.
• Ability to build, analyze, and animate management dashboards (progress rate, capacity gaps, bottlenecks).
• Excellent mastery of planning and performance tracking tools (advanced Excel: pivot tables, data modeling, macros; SAP, MS Project, Power BI) and (an asset) PLM/Enovia environments.
• Openness to priority changes and replanning.
• Knowledge of SAP, Microsoft Office, Catia V5.
• Force of proposal, team spirit, reactivity, rigor.
• French & English: spoken & written.

Aptitudes

• Have good relational skills and be able to demonstrate leadership.
• Analytical thinking & Global vision: Keen analytical mind allowing to translate complex data flows (technical modifications, man-hours, effectivities) into clear, realistic, and actionable load plans for managerial decision-making.
• Be recognized for the ability to work both in a team and independently.
• Agility & Priority Management: High adaptability in the face of line unforeseen events and schedule variations; ability to quickly reassess priorities and smooth the workload under pressure.
• Strategic Communication & Pedagogy: Ability to popularize load/capacity adequacy issues with decision-makers, and to negotiate trade-offs or schedule adjustments with diplomacy, rigor, and conviction.
• Proactivity & Anticipation: Natural orientation towards risk prevention; ability to detect bottlenecks or workloads long before they impact the assembly line.
• Rigor & Autonomy: Rigorous personal organization, meticulousness in maintaining indicators (KPIs), and high autonomy in the independent monitoring of the technical modification portfolio.
• Enthusiastic in nature, likes to work in a fast-paced environment and unforeseen situations.
