An exciting opportunity has become available to join Boeing Defence UK as a Task Co-Ordinator for the C-17 aircraft at RAF Brize Norton.

As a Task Co-Ordinator you will be responsible for planning and coordinating maintenance tasks across the RAF 99 Sqn C17 fleet. Each Task Co‑Ordinator will be assigned specific aircraft ownership while also owning key planning domains across all aircraft.

• Ensure timely scheduling and execution of directives.
• Confirm required documentation, tooling and spares are available before task initiation.
• Monitor life‑limited components and forecast replacement schedules.
• Ensure spares are ordered and available ahead of expiry.
• Plan and coordinate structural maintenance requiring specialist support.
• Participate in maintenance input and coordination meetings to identify and escalate spares or scheduling concerns that may impact task readiness or timelines.
• Act as a central point of contact between engineering teams, supply chain and documentation controllers to ensure consistent communication and alignment.
• Provide clear updates on task progress, spares status and outstanding actions to support informed decision making and efficient workflow coordination.
