I oversee the provision of workshop specialist fabrication and repair service to Aircraft operating units by performing duties as an Aircraft structural specialist using CNC machinery, sheet metalwork, FRP repair, and woodworking methods. I assist in various workshops engineering tasks, including maintaining quality standards and practices and assurance, personnel administrative duties, and legislation compliance and certification. I prepare and manage individual work plans as well as establish training requirements for the team to improve individual performance and achieve targeted goals. I manage the specialist aircraft systems by overseeing the Air-station test equipment calibration facility.• Defined engineering support requirements by biding for equipment/facility upgrades as per evolving manufacture and repair techniques, while coordinating with the various operating units.• Presented robust solutions by planning and allocating resources to meet the repair windows requirement in collaboration with the operating units and logistics specialists and ILS specialists• Maintained and executed Health and Safety standards in the working environment according to the defined legislation for the safety of staff.• Restructured the unit's H&S policy according to the changing legislation, while efficiently managing workshops to meet aircraft requirements.

I ensured embarking units remain compliant within a bespoke environment by acting as aviation continuous airworthiness maintenance organisation (CAMO) quality assurance manager interfacing with A/C operating authorities and units. I managed and supervised the ships compartment handover acceptance inspections and associated discrepancies. I performed engineering, systems and quality investigations documenting and presenting findings.• Identified and resolved potential risks related to the ship's production process to ensure quality, cost, and timescale are met for compartment handover on behalf of the DE&S delivery acceptance team (DAT).• Maintained accurate project governance and area focus by serving as a key representative for product modification and amendments with the aircraft carrier alliance and the ship's production managers.• Updated and feed into the project operations by conducting aviation systems acceptance trials, including associated assurances and certification. Ensuring the quality had been meet within the contracted requirements.• Recommended effective remedial action plans by performing the quality and technical investigations on behalf of the ACA and DAT.• Designed and implemented RNs' input into quality assurance activities during the HMS Prince of Wales development phase.• Developed, executed, and organised 3rd party quality assurance program by serving as ships quality system manager.• Created a risk mitigation plan by identifying and reporting production risks to the DAT lead.

I examined and gathered aircraft incidents/accidents information and for presentation to the specific aircraft delivery risk holder for oversight. I strengthened relationships with stakeholders by effectively communicating with them to meet each party's requirements. I updated and managed Wildcat and Lynx aircraft technical and support information within operational units, including MF760s/765s/S2020s/UTI/RTI/Sis/STIs/UFS/WRI/OPDEFS• Implemented best practices in the work environment according to the legislation by conducting QA audits to oversee the Lynx/Wildcat aircraft remote operating unit's management procedures.• Deployed operation aircraft across the globe by providing technical support and presenting robust solutions within timescales while collaborating with the OEM and DE&S delivery teams.• Designed and tested aircraft fleet equipment modification programmes to meet the operational capability according to project guidelines.• Established an efficient sub-unit by merging two operating units into one universal support structure and roles.

I managed and monitored daily and long term workforce availability and aircraft maintenance activities achieved goals, while maintaining the quality of output. I planned, administered, and conducted audits within the unit 2nd party audit programme by acting as unit quality system coordinator (QSC).• Scheduled and planned long-term aircraft maintenance and modifications packages by coordinating with the specialist agencies as per requirements to lessen operational output.• Mitigated the potential risk of any deferred repairs by implementing the appropriate airworthiness maintenance and repair latitudes. Balancing the approved repair solution against the urgency of need.• Planned the support resources for prolonged remote aircraft operations away from the parent unit, cognizant of the logistic and other support supply lines.• Managed personnel competency and training packages, to ensure the correct standards and practices are being met and meet legislation.Additional Experience:(SKIPT) Avionics Desk Officer – MOD Seaking Engineering AuthoritySenior Technician (Shift Workforce Controller) – Avionic Trade LeadElectro-Optical Equipment Desk Officer – MOD Lynx IPTAttained Aircraft Avionic Supervisor StatusArtificer Apprentice – Royal Navy
