Providing engineering receipt and dispatch support to our various airline customers. Avionics and hangar maintenance supplied to our various clients in the form of scheduled checks and repairs.

Started and completed my 2nd apprenticeship, and have gained endorsements on several of our aircraft types. My training was carried out over a vast variety of aircraft types and ranges from small general aviation aircraft, government search, to airliners and freighters. I spent equal portions of my apprenticeship time with both B1 and B2 trades which now helps me get the job done. My work with Cobham has taken me all over the country supporting and rescuing aircraft in amazing places from the Coccos Islands to remote locations such as Weipa and Gove. I really enjoy, and spend most of my time looking after the Australian Boarder Force fleet and have maintenance and installation exposure to search radars, airborne cameras, direction finding equipment, computer networking, and satellite data/vocal communications both encrypted and non encrypted.My relationship with our B1 crew has given me vast exposure to engine systems as well as engine buildup, tears down, running, and airframe installation. I have recently spent the last two years in a supervisor role with a team of 4 - 7. I'm currently in the process of extending my skill set to include a B1 endorsement.Licences held on:B717-200 B2DHC8 Classic B2Challenger 604 B2General Aviation B2

My roles at Skytrans included line receipt and dispatch for our local fleet, with the occasional aircraft pushback.Hanger work mainly consisted of checks, more serous repairs and installations on our latest aircraft acquisitions. I was usually the only licensed electrician on the shift, so time and people resource skill were regularly required to co-ordinate the shifts requirements. I would also have apprentices working under me and providing on job training as well as handling log books and revision.During the absence of a shift supervisor the role would be passed on to myself. This usually consisted of meeting with management to plan the shifts requirements and assign resources where required.

Started and completed my 1st apprenticeship and trained in being support for departments when they needed extra manpower. Focusing mainly on house fit outs, renovations, data, appliance repairs, and industrial
