• Digitized, modified and annotated technical data such as wiring schematics to aid myself and others when carrying out fault finding.
• Carry out data downloads and interrogate to find causes and triggers for faults on different software (arrowvale analyer, SIBAS, Windiag2k and semvac flashloader)
• Carried out fault diagnosis and repair at the depot and out on track.
• Produced complex and concise analytical reports about repairs and faults.
• Undertook commissioning of repaired systems such ACU, TCU, OTMR and HVAC to ensure correct serviceability before entering service.
