- Experience stretches over various aircraft including Boeing CH-47 Chinook, Panavia Tornado and Beoing C-17 Globemaster.
- Promotion to a Supervisor position has allowed me use over 11 years of experience to manage multiple teams effectively, overcome any problems and teach solutions.
- Supervised work in both fast-paced environments and conditions requiring a slower more precise approach. This allows me to work to the required pace to generate organisation's required output.
- Undertaking training and re-training throughout this field, including as an authorisation trainer myself, has greatly broadened my hand skills and fault diagnosis skills allowing for increased serviceability of operational aircraft.
- Mentoring inexperienced members of my team is an integral part of my role and one I am passionate about, with my patience creating a productive environment with confident and skilled technicians, and helping secure the organisation's future work output.
- Managed up to 24 personnel on a front line squadron distributing work according to skill levels and priority, allowing for work to be carried out efficiently and creating an organised work atmosphere.
- Generated aircraft in under greatly reduced time periods and under high pressure to facilitate important operational sorties. This allows the organisation to create critical sorties at short notice and continue the Squadron's mission supporting the UK's national interests.
- Communicated complex handovers via F700 paperwork and verbally, creating seamless cross shift maintenance and co-operation.
- Organising team briefs, ensuring all members know their tasks, including serious risks and safety precautions, keeping the Squadron running as effectively as possible.
- Worked in a variety of environments including major servicing/depth maintenance, front line squadron maintenance, and overseas including on operations including an Afghanistan tour in Kabul.
