Supply Chain Intern

Kick start your career in aerospace supply chain at Mirus Aircraft Seating with a summer internship.

Mirus Aircraft Seating is growing and we’re looking for an individual looking to jump start their career to join our team at an exciting time of expansion. We are transitioning from a specialist engineering business into a high volume aircraft seating manufacturer, investing in modern ERP/MRP systems and structured purchasing processes to support production at scale.

This is a great opportunity for a recent graduate or early-career professional to gain hands on experience in a modern aerospace manufacturing environment, supporting our transition to full ERP/MRP-driven purchasing over the summer.

You’ll help keep production moving by:

• Raising and managing purchase orders
• Being a key link between Engineering and Supply Chain, ensuring new products transition seamlessly from design into production
• Coordinate supply chain activities across NPI programmes to deliver on time, cost, and quality targets
• Supporting stock control and demand management
• Working closely with production and engineering teams

We’re looking for someone organised, detail-focused, and eager to learn with a genuine interest in building a career in procurement and supply chain.

About the role

This role is highly operational and plays a critical part in supporting New Product Introduction (NPI), reporting, and data accuracy, alongside ensuring materials flow smoothly to production every day. You will be responsible for raising and managing purchase orders, tracking supplier deliveries, maintaining system integrity, and ensuring parts and materials are available to support both live production and new programme launches.

A key element of this position is supporting NPI activities including monitoring part readiness, tracking supplier actions, updating project data, and providing clear, accurate reporting on programme status, risks, and delivery performance. Strong Excel capability is essential, as you will regularly analyse data, build reports, monitor KPIs, track supply performance, and present information in a structured and concise way to support decision making.

You will work closely with Procurement, Production, Planning, and Engineering teams, helping ensure the factory has the right materials at the right time to build and deliver aircraft seating to global customers. Building strong, proactive relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders will be essential to maintaining delivery performance and resolving issues quickly.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys structured environments, systems driven work, detailed reporting, and problem-solving, and who is looking to build a career within supply chain, procurement, and NPI programme support in a fast paced manufacturing environment.
