Cloud Hosting Project Manager 

Our customer is one of Europe’s leading commercial airlines with a fleet of over 200 aircraft. Each aircraft must undergo maintenance checks at regular time and mileage intervals.

Like all airlines, our customer has rigorous and robust processes for planning, managing and assuring the maintenance of its fleet, thus ensuring fitness for use whilst minimizing time on the ground (not generating revenue).
The sparse availability of skilled technical labour to complete maintenance tasks has been a challenge in the sector for many years and remains a genuine risk to their commercial objectives. They are therefore constantly looking at new ways to attract, retain and deploy aircraft technicians and engineers.

Challenge

Specifically, we manage a team of 25 aircraft engineers at London Heathrow providing 7 days per week coverage. We manage the station as a package of work (under clients Part 145) ensuring priority defects are cleared within the timescale
Our fixed daily charge is outcome-based and tied to the successful handover of aircraft back into service. We can respond to additional demand by increasing our engineering teams at short notice. Our gain share model is attractive to our skilled workforce because they receive higher remuneration in return for higher productivity targets/KPIs and receive fixed earnings irrespective of how much of their shift they work.

Solution

In the first 6 months, we demonstrated through a shift in accountability, that we could drive our engineering teams to not only complete all tasks in the allocated time but also identify and remedy additional defects. We have since expanded the contract to include additional aircraft and tasking.

Aircraft Maintenance – Airline Checks

Our client based in mainland Europe provides refurbishment, modification, upgrades and maintenance of private and publicly owned aircraft.

Engineering challenges plus contract variations are not uncommon for our client. Our agility is particularly valuable to help them manage such events and still deliver some of the highest customer satisfaction standards in the industry.
For example, when a VIP Boeing Business Jet customer wanted to add a split scimitar winglet modification as a contract variation, we were able to mobilise and deploy our engineering team to carry out the work package. The asset was already in the hangar with its structural integrity compromised due to the stage of the C Check it was at. We therefore had to work with the aircraft in situ, adjacent to other engineering teams and to contractual bound timescales including financial penalties for late delivery.

Our Chief Engineer worked closely with the client Project Manager onsite to define the project brief, work breakdown structure and task for our team of six specialist engineers.
We liaised directly with the aircraft OEM and winglet manufacturer to confirm specifications, technical drawings, and technical instructions, and acquire all parts in time to meet the tight deadline.
Ensuring we had access and adequate space to work on the aircraft alongside other engineering teams involved constant communication, daily stand-ups and progress meetings with the client Project Manager.

We allowed a nine-day window but delivered the project for client sign-off within a total of just seven days. This was achieved through the unique expertise of our high-performing and highly motivated team, and shared objectives with our client to delight their customer.
The aircraft was handed back to the owner on time with the additional works completed &ndash; saving thousands of pounds of cost (and immediate fuel-saving costs) if the winglets had been installed under a separate contract.
As an embedded, trusted partner, we have supported and helped solve multiple such challenges in our 15+ years of service.

Capability Management – Naval Systems

It&rsquo;s no secret that Carbon60 has been an avid supporter and partner of the military for many years now. From working closely with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/sectors/defence" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ministry of Defence on recruitment projects</a>, and being recognised with an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/carbon60-recognised-with-mod-gold-award" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MOD Gold Award</a>, to employing and supporting&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/armed-forces-profile-bruno-wood" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">current and ex-forces members</a>, our involvement with the British Armed Forces has always been a priority.
That&rsquo;s why for the past six years, we&rsquo;ve been delighted to sponsor the Royal Navy Football Association. And, on March 30th&nbsp;an exciting inter-service men&rsquo;s match was hosted between the Royal Navy and the Army.
It&rsquo;s not the first time the two forces have clashed on the football field. In fact, this competition has been an annual sporting tradition between the Army, RAF and Royal Navy for many years now.
During a long history of battling it out on the pitch, it&rsquo;s the Army who have won the most matches, and this most recent clash saw them adding yet another win to the list after beating the Navy in a 2-1 defeat last month.
As sponsors, we&rsquo;re always eager to follow the matches, but with the pandemic having halted the competition in 2020 and 2021, this year&rsquo;s was particularly welcome.
Carbon60&rsquo;s Managing Director, Paul Nolan, commented: &ldquo;Although the game didn&rsquo;t end in the results we would have liked for the Royal Navy team, it was certainly an exciting game demonstrating how far inter-services football has come during our proud period of sponsorship.&rdquo;
However, this isn&rsquo;t Carbon60&rsquo;s only military sports sponsorship. We&rsquo;re also keen supporters of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60projectservices.com/blog/valuing-values">RAF&rsquo;s Ski Team</a>. But why is Carbon60 so keen to support initiatives and events like these and why do they matter? The answer goes far beyond simply our recruitment expertise in the defence sector&hellip;
It&rsquo;s because we share many of the same principles as our British armed forces. And, like the military, we understand the important role that sport plays in bringing people together and strengthening the key attributes that unite us all.
Members of our forces, and sports participants alike, need to be driven, committed and enthusiastic. And these are features we look for in our own people. Often described as a family, our employees at Carbon60 take pride in working together as a team to achieve a shared set of goals - in the same way that many of the most successful sporting teams combine differing strengths to climb to the top of their league.
Sporting activities are also fundamental in developing resilience and resourcefulness. And in the competitive and often challenging world of recruitment, these are important qualities for overcoming obstacles and achieving success. They&rsquo;re characteristics we encourage and celebrate across the entire Carbon60 business.
It&rsquo;s for all of these reasons combined that we&rsquo;re dedicated to supporting the British Royal Navy Football Association - an organisation founded to promote and encourage teamwork and whose values align closely with our own.
This year, it&rsquo;s the RAF who were crowned overall Inter-Service Champions and we extend our congratulations to them on a great performance throughout the season. But we look forward to our ongoing sponsorship of the Royal Navy and to continuing to support them, whatever the result, next season. Keep up the great work, guys. Carbon60 wishes you lots of luck for the 2023 competition!

It’s no secret that Carbon60 has been an avid supporter and partner of the military for many years now. From working closely with the Ministry of Defence on recruitment projects, and being recognised with an MOD Gold Award, to employing and supporting current and ex-forces members, our involvement with the British Armed Forces has always been a priority.

Carbon60 Proudly Sponsors the Royal Navy Football Association

June 2024 marked the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, a infamous day when - on 6th June 1944 - the largest amphibious invasion in history took place as part of the first stage of Operation Overlord. The statistics of D-Day and the stories of those involved are staggering. In total the Allies used a flotilla of over 5,000 ships and landing craft to deploy more than 130,000 troops onto the beaches of Northwestern France codenamed Gold, Sword, Juno, Omaha and Utah as part of the efforts to restrict and push back enemy advances across the continent.&nbsp;
As part of the D-Day commemorations, 19 keen cyclists from the Maritime C5ISR Support Unit (MCSU) embarked on an epic crossing of the English Channel, to retrace the route of those brave Servicemen and women in honour of their sacrifice. MCSU has a very specific connection of D-Day, with it&rsquo;s base at the top of Portsdown Hill featuring a glorious view over the Southern Downs and specifically of Southwick House. In 1944, in the months leading up to D-Day, the base became the headquarters of the main allied commanders, including Allied Supreme Commander General Eisenhower, Naval Commander-in-Chief Admiral Ramsay and Army Commander-in-Chief General Montgomery.&nbsp;
The MCSU peloton was made up of a wholeforce mix of military, civil service and industry personnel, which was fitting given the herculean efforts that were required both on the front line and on the home front to ensure the success of the D-Day landings, without doubt one of the biggest and most important events in World War Two. In all, the peloton covered some 270km on a journey that was not only created as a chance to mark the occasion and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, but also to allow time for the brave service personnel to connect and reset as a team.
Carbon60 are proud to be avid supporters of the military and its people. We congratulate Team MCSU for completing their memorable journey and, as always, thank them for their service.&nbsp;

Carbon60 were proud to sponsor the Maritime C5ISR Support Unit (MCSU) as they embarked on an epic journey, to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Complex Project Management 

Recognised as Forces Covenant Civilian Employment Support providers and one of the UK&rsquo;s Top 25 Veteran Employers, and awarded Gold in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme, Carbon60 and Carbon60 Project Services have been committed, celebrated partners and supporters of our military forces and their service people for decades.
As part of this commitment to veterans and ex-forces personnel, we not only advocate for them, their skills and their potential to thrive in a post-service career, we actively provide opportunities to them too.
To find out more about such opportunities, and the impact they can have, we spoke with an ex-Navy member who recently joined Carbon60 to hear their story.
<h2>So, tell us a bit about yourself, your background and journey so far</h2>
Growing up as an expat, I was always fascinated by the Armed Forces and particularly the Navy. As I got older, it became an aspiration of mine to join the Navy or at least be in a role associated with supporting the Navy and the incredible things they and their people do.
I finally joined the Navy in 2024, but after I few months I realised that it wasn&rsquo;t quite for me. But this didn&rsquo;t deter me. Soon after leaving the forces, I turned to Carbon60, knowing that they are renowned for helping ex-forces people find exciting new opportunities.
And I am very glad I did, as I have now been working with Carbon60 for just over seven months, in an Administrative Support role for Navy Digital.
<h2>What interested you in joining Carbon 60?</h2>
As already mentioned, I knew that Carbon60 are as passionate about the Armed Forces and Military service people as I am, so their values are very much aligned with mine. This really made them stand out as a company I wanted to be involved with.
Whilst I am no longer in the Navy, I am still keen to be as involved in Navy and Military operations as I can, and thankfully the role Carbon60 found me enables me to be.
I had always heard that being with Carbon60 is a challenge (I love challenges!), but very rewarding too. And everyday is different.
<h2>How was the Recruitment and Onboarding Process?</h2>
The recruitment and onboarding process with Carbon60 was extremely efficient; stress-free, supported and confident building.
I was kept informed of the progression of my application throughout, and I was encouraged to ask any questions that arose, which were promptly answered. I couldn&rsquo;t have asked for much more really!&nbsp;
<h2>Is there anything outside of Carbon60 you are doing, and if so, how is the support you getting?</h2>
One of the best things about working with Carbon60, and being in the role I am in, is that I have been afforded time to study for a part-time Master's degree in Defence Studies alongside my work. What&rsquo;s more, I am in the process of joining the Reserves as well!
I have always received an incredible amount of support from the Carbon60 team, who&rsquo;ve not only allowed me to take such opportunities, but actively engaged with me to offer support and advice along the way too. And they do this for everyone, encouraging people to strive for and achieve their goals.
<h2>Finally, how have you found working with C60?&nbsp;</h2>
I have really enjoyed my time with C60 so far, and I'm looking forward to the years ahead!
The team are all fascinating to talk to, with a lot of them being ex-service personnel too, and if I ever need a hand, I know that there is always a friendly face that I can turn to!
My confidence, skill set and knowledge continues to grow, and I know that this experience will hold me in great stead for my future career journey.&nbsp;
<h2>Ex-Military Opportunities with Carbon60</h2>
Carbon60 utilise the experience and expertise of our own ex-forces staff to not only provide support and guidance to veterans, but also to build partnerships with industry-leading organisations and create employment opportunities that are aligned with the skills and experiences of brave service people looking to kickstart a new civilian career.
