Billy Armstrong

Adaptable maintenance Engineer with experience in preventative and reactive maintenance across mechanical industry. Primarily working within the energy from waste industry for the past 15 years. In this time, I have built up a varied skill set including welding and fabrication, mechanical fitting and valve works.

I pride myself on being able to think on my feet, making decisions and problem solving to a high standard. I have a good ability to see solutions to problems by thinking outside of the box.

These skills have seen me progress up through the company I currently work for. Going from mechanical fitter to supervisor to project manager then finally into my current roll of engineering manager.

Outside of work, engineering remains my passion and I continue to use my skillset and mechanical knowledge. Being fortunate enough to have my own workshop with lathes, mills and welding equipment. I have recently designed and built a garden tractor for my children using a Honda power unit with multiple gears in a chain driven gearbox that I designed and fabricated myself. I also race go karts in my spare time, which requires regular servicing and engine machining, tolerance checking and rebuilding.
