Randstad Deutschland is hiring a Supply Chain Planer (m/w/d) — described in the listing as a logistics clerk or supply chain manager — for its client Airbus Operations GmbH in Hamburg-Finkenwerder, within Customer Line Logistics Support for the A320 family. The role sources urgently needed aircraft parts that are not available in local Airbus warehouses, finds the fastest material solution, tracks time-critical deliveries, and manages crisis situations so aircraft can be delivered to customers on time. The offer is a permanent contract with pay of about €67,000–€75,200 gross per year (35-hour week), and work in a 2-shift system. A bachelor’s degree, 2+ years of experience, SAP skills, and fluent German and English are required.
Airbus Operations GmbH — Germany’s Central Operating Company for Commercial Aircraft
The listing describes Airbus Operations GmbH as the central German operating company for commercial aircraft within the Airbus group and one of the world’s leading civil aerospace companies. At the Hamburg site, modern passenger aircraft — especially the successful A320 family — are developed, built, equipped, and delivered to airlines worldwide.
About the Role — Supply Chain Planer, Randstad / Airbus Hamburg
Employer: Randstad Deutschland (temporary employment) — client: Airbus Operations GmbH
Location: Hamburg-Finkenwerder, Germany
Area: Customer Line Logistics Support — A320 customer line
Focus: Part sourcing · Express material solutions · Track and trace · Crisis management
Contract: Permanent with Randstad · Full-time (35 hours) · 2-shift system
Why This Supply Chain Planer Role in Hamburg Stands Out
Work on the A320 Family: You will help keep aircraft on schedule for delivery to airlines, a visible and time-critical role in civil aerospace
Equal Pay With Airbus Staff: The listing states pay above the collective agreement to Airbus standard, with the same pay as a permanent Airbus employee from the 3rd or 6th month of assignment
Permanent Contract: You get an open-ended contract with Randstad, offering long-term job prospects in the temporary employment industry
Career Growth: Aviation supply chain planners can move toward Senior Planner, Logistics Lead, Supply Chain Manager, and procurement or programme roles in aerospace
Position Overview
The Supply Chain Planer supports the A320 customer line at Airbus Operations in Hamburg-Finkenwerder by procuring urgently needed aircraft parts that are not available in local Airbus warehouses — for example through external sources. You will work closely with several departments to find the fastest possible material solution and prioritize daily tasks within your shift; closely monitor expected shipping dates together with Procurement, Supply Chain, and Aircraft Maintenance Operations; track and trace time-critical part deliveries and speed them up to the place they are needed; prepare for and take part in daily routines based on the Airbus Operating System (AOS) so communication stays fast, transparent, and effective; and manage crisis situations to avoid negative effects on the customer line and on-time aircraft delivery.
Why This Role Matters: When an aircraft is waiting for delivery, a single missing part can hold up the whole line. As Supply Chain Planer, you are the person who finds that part, chases it, and gets it to the right place as fast as possible — while keeping procurement, supply chain, and maintenance teams informed. Calm prioritization, clear communication, and persistent follow-up keep aircraft moving toward their customers and help Airbus keep its delivery promises.
