Satair is looking for a Cost Center/Purchase Order Controller to join our team in Dulles, VA.

You will be part of the team responsible for the financial and operational oversight of the IAD and MIA Warehouse cost centers. This role leads the procurement function for non-flying parts regarding indirect spend, warehouse consumables, and operational services. It's also responsible to ensure timely Purchase Order (PO) placement, accurate cost allocation, and strict adherence to budgetary constraints. This position acts as the bridge between Warehouse Operations and Finance, ensuring the facility has the supplies and services required to operate efficiently while minimizing variance against the operating budget.

Located minutes away from the Washington Dulles International Airport, and approximately 30 miles from the U.S. Capitol, this site serves as our major parts distribution hub in the Americas. The facility is a 24/7 fulfillment center, with an Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support desk, and Quality Assurance (QA) operations. To best support our customers, our 20,000-square-foot warehouse features a brand new technology called Autostore, aiming at increasing productivity.

At Airbus, we support you to work, connect and collaborate more easily and accessibly. Wherever possible, we foster flexible working arrangements to stimulate innovative thinking.
