Account Manager Position
A1 Personnel are looking for a hands-on Account Manager to oversee the end-to-end management of aerospace component programs. This role combines client relationship ownership with operational responsibility across production and logistics. You’ll act as the central point of contact between customers and internal teams, ensuring delivery commitments, quality standards, and workflow timelines are consistently met.
This is not a purely desk-based role—the ideal candidate is comfortable being on the shop floor, understands manufacturing processes, and takes a proactive approach to keeping materials and production on track.

*Support continuous improvement initiatives across production and account management processes

Essential:
*Experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment (aerospace preferred)
*Proven track record in account management, project coordination, or operations
*Strong understanding of production workflows and supply chain processes
*Excellent communication skills, with the ability to liaise across technical and non-technical teams

*Familiarity with quality standards (e.g., AS9100)
*Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems


Key Attributes
*Proactive and solutions-focused mindset
*Strong sense of ownership and accountability
*Detail-oriented with the ability to see the bigger picture
*Confident communicator who can manage multiple stakeholders
*Adaptable and comfortable working both on the shop floor and in an office setting


Success in This Role Looks Like
