Responsable Masses et Centrages sur H175 – Team Leader @ AIRBUS HELICOPTERS

With 12 years of experience as an Engineer and Program Manager in the Aerospace, Naval, Nuclear, and Logistics industry, I am currently seeking new opportunities in management and corporate roles. Born and raised in Casablanca, I have always been passionate about exploring different cultures and have travelled extensively. This multicultural background has honed my ability to adapt quickly, a skill that I have consistently demonstrated throughout my career.

My adaptability has been instrumental in successfully managing critical situations and seamlessly transitioning into new environments and industries. I believe in a management style that blends pragmatism with humility and I thrive on taking on ambitious challenges that require dynamism, efficiency, and creativity.

Being open-minded and multilingual (French, English, Spanish, and Arabic), I strongly believe that growth and personal development occur outside of one's comfort zone. This mindset drives me to continuously seek out new experiences and challenges.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute my skills and expertise to a new organization and I look forward to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.

In 2012, Airbus Helicopters faced several challenges. They had to maintain the production capacity of their current range of helicopters while also completing the development of their new heavy-lift helicopter, the H175, preparing it for market launch, and starting its serial production. Additionally, they had to initiate the launch of several new helicopter programs to replace a significant portion of their current range.

It was in this context that I joined the Flight Test Department at Airbus Helicopters, with the mission to oversee activities related to the H175. My main focuses were Flight Performance and Weight & Balance. From the moment I arrived, a few months before the first flight, I was involved in various tasks, both technical and managerial. These responsibilities eventually led me to assume functional management of the Mass & Balance department two years later.
Responsibilities & Key achievements:
- Weight and balance calculations, Weighing in assembly chain, Mission calculations for tender responses
- Monitoring of technical studies and writing technical notes, PDR/CDR equipment development reviews for missions (O&G, SAR, and VIP) with various departments (Engineering, Quality, Production, Flight Crew, Sales Departments)
- Assistance in fine-tuning Weight and Balance performance: H/C Weighing, As Built vs As To Be Built Analyses, Verification of delivery notes, Identification of technical opportunities and risk management (FMEA), Management of weight reduction and balance correction campaigns
- Improvement of document quality (Bill of Materials - BoM), data reliability on PLM ENOVIA, and reduction of processing times by the Weight and Balance department
- Collaboration with H175 project partners in China (HAIG, CHRDI) – Participation in helicopter certification with European authorities (EASA) --> Certification of H175 by EASA (Jan. 2014)
- Delivery of first O&G and VIP versions, Development of Multi-Mission SAR version, and the Chinese Prototype of H175 (Z15)"
Management:
- Changed the delivery model (‘technical support’ to ‘fixed price portfolio model’), Financial reporting (approx. 120K€/quarter)
- Customer relationship management (Head of AH Department), Team management (6-9 people), Monitored new hires ramp-up ensuring the highest level of productivity
- Support ramp-up of the Final Assembly Line (FAL)
- Deployment of new processes/tools to improve operational efficiency of the team - reduction of required resources (3-->1.5 FTE)
