PHAREA is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Integration & Industrialisation Consultant to support a major greenfield aerospace manufacturing project in the United Arab Emirates. Acting as the Lead Consultant, the selected expert will consolidate the existing manufacturing basis, identify and close key technical gaps, prepare controlled inputs for industrial flow simulation, and support maturation of the production layout. PHAREA subject-matter experts may complement the Lead when highly specialised expertise is required.
Key Responsabilities :
• Review, challenge and consolidate existing manufacturing processes and technical data.
• Define and validate manufacturing routings by product / flow family.
• Challenge cycle-time, capacity, batch-size, WIP and buffer assumptions.
• Review product-to-machine allocation and equipment interfaces.
• Consolidate controlled input data required for industrial process and material-flow simulation and interface with the Simulation Supplier.
• Review and challenge simulation outputs, bottlenecks, material flows and proposed layouts.
• Support industrial integration of forging and ring-rolling processes.
• Develop and/or consolidate Thermal Processing & Heat Treatment requirements, including billet heating, reheating/equalisation, cooling/quenching and final heat treatment.
• Address manufacturing constraints associated with nickel-based, titanium, steel and aluminium aerospace alloys.
• Identify interfaces with utilities, material handling, inspection, NDT, laboratory and other industrial systems.
• Identify technical risks, open assumptions and missing technical data.
• Coordinate with client stakeholders, equipment OEMs, the Simulation Supplier and engineering teams. • Provide structured knowledge transfer to the client’s permanent technical resources.
Candidate Profile :
We are looking for a highly experienced industrial professional who has supported the industrialisation or development of complex manufacturing facilities, ideally within aerospace or engine-component manufacturing. Significant experience across several of the following areas is expected:
• Aerospace manufacturing / engine components
• Forging and Ring Rolling
• Metallurgy and advanced metallic alloys
• Heat Treatment / Thermal Processing
• Manufacturing Engineering / Industrialisation
• Production routing, cycle-time validation and process definition
• Industrial layout, material flow and equipment integration • Greenfield manufacturing facilities
Strong expertise in thermal processing and metallurgy is particularly important. The consultant should be able to understand and challenge industrial sequences such as : Furnace fi Forging Press fi Reheating / Equalisation fi Ring Rolling fi Cooling / Quenching fi Heat Treatment fi Downstream Processes Knowledge of pyrometry environments and standards such as AMS2750 is highly desirable.
The ideal candidate has 20 to 25+ years of experience and has held positions such as Manufacturing Engineering Manager, Industrialisation Manager, Manufacturing/Process Engineering Lead, Forging & Ring Rolling Expert, Metallurgy/Heat Treatment Lead or Manufacturing Integration Consultant. Initial mobilisation on site in Al Ain, UAE is preferred; a hybrid/remote working model may subsequently be considered depending on the consultant and project requirements.
