Training Coordinator - Norwegian Airlines - Barcelona

<p align="center"><strong><u>Training Coordinator - Crew Plan LH</u></strong></p> <p><strong>Background </strong></p> <p><em>Norwegian is the second largest airline in Scandinavia and the third largest low-cost airline in Europe with approximately 4500 employees. Norwegian operates 424 routes to 130 destinations in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Thailand and the US. In 2014, 24 million passengers flew with the airline, which has been listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 2003 </em></p> <p>Norwegian has experienced significant growth over the previous years by introducing brand new aircraft to its fleet, launching many new routes and establishing new bases in Europe, Asia and the US. Continued fleet expansion through Europe’s largest ever single aircraft order and establishment of new international bases entails a major increase of flight deck and cabin crew resources to make sure flights are operating as scheduled. The planning and management of our crew resources is therefore essential to our continued success. With our planned future growth and increased focus on Long Haul operations, Norwegian has decided to strengthen its current Crew Planning department with a new planning centre in Barcelona. To secure correct and cost-efficient staffing of our operations, Norwegian is looking to hire a Training Coordinator for the planning and coordination of training on duty rosters for our flight deck resources in Long Haul operations.</p> <p><strong>Role description</strong></p> <p>As a training coordinator in Norwegian, you will play an important role in ensuring the efficient and legal scheduling of training for our flight deck resources in the long haul operations. Key tasks will be to plan and re-plan training courses onto duty rosters before release, including recurrent, upgrades, conversion and other qualifications/requirements. The role will coordinate with the Training department and Norwegian AOCs regarding training requirements, course plan and to ensure all required resources, e.g. simulator and instructor capacity, are in place to effectuate training in an optimal way. The role will simultaneously cooperate closely with roster planners to find and develop cost-efficient training solutions to secure high utilization of the flight deck resources in Long Haul operations. As a Training Coordinator responsible for planning of training, you will report to the Senior Crew Planner within the Flight Deck team for long haul operations.</p> <p><strong>Qualifications</strong></p> <p>We are ideally looking for candidates with a Bachelor or Masters degree in Economics, Mathematics, Logistics, Analysis, Transport or Optimization – although this is not essential. A relevant experience within transportation, logistics, operations or scheduling can compensate for lack of formal experience. Knowledge about applicable rules and regulations within the aviation industry is an advantage. To succeed as a Training Coordinator, you should have a good knowledge of Microsoft Office tools. It will be an advantage if you have knowledge with any crew schedule system, although that is not a requirement.</p> <p>At a more personal level, you should be accurate and highly structured with strong logistical abilities, and you must enjoy working in a high paced environment. A solution-oriented mindset is required, and you should be skilful at coordinating and communicating key messages. You should be able to balance your attention to detail with the ability to see the bigger picture, and enjoy focus on continuous improvements. You need to be fluent in English.</p> <p><strong>Opportunities</strong></p> <p>Working for Norwegian you have the opportunity to form your career within a rapid-growing organisation that challenges the airline-industry every day. The position gives a great possibility for further career development – both inside Norwegian and through the successful development of the new planning centre.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
