Soldier (Various Roles - Ground + Air)
United Kingdom
During my time with the Forces I have gained a vast amount of experience, qualifications, determination, intelligence and generally an all round better person. As you can imagine I have spent a lot of time in different roles of my career so I have paragraphed each role in short for you to get a brief idea of what I have experienced and what I am also capable of doing for your company. My first part of my career was all trade training learning all the basics of a soldier and then moving on to gaining all my driving licenses up to C+E with my dangerous good license. I have also been trained as a Class 1 driver and Class 1 Groundcrewmen supervising up to 30 troops day and night, selecting secure landing sites for aircraft, supervising load rigging and checking their security. I spent time also working long hours at the world's busiest heliport at one stage managing my crew of up to 10 groundcrewmen and also the refuelling and movement of 30 multimillion £ aircraft. During this time I was also in an motor transport department working flat out to ensure all vehicles were servicable and up to a high standard. I was retrained and spent 2 years a Door Gunner and also as an Air-Borne Surveillance Operator (Wescam) on rotary aircraft. I then moved into Station Operations as a Manager looking after a whole military airfield including it's visitors, including VIPs. This time was very busy and every detail had to be overseen. During this role I was also appointed as the Landing Fees NCO to which I was in charge of a budget of £350,000. I also spent many month as the Flying Complaints NCO on top of these busy roles. This leads me onto my current role as a crewman for fixed wing aircraft, working alongside the pilot for navigation, creating map routes, using complex instruments, providing direct assistance and oversight to the pilot. This role is high profile and requires a lot of attention, quick thinking and high standards in every aspect of the role.
