Leading a team of aircraft maintenance engineers to carry out planned zonal maintenance with my responsibilities including conducting pre and post use checks on specialist test equipment and tooling. A subject matter expert in my field, providing diverse solutions to often complex problems within aviation mechanical engineering.I am frequently involved in rectification tasks involving multi-faceted engineers, including avionics technicians and weapons (electro-mechanical) engineers. I have a comprehensive knowledge of the various trade boundaries involved in each of these trades and work harmoniously to ensure the safety of staff and airworthiness of aircraft is kept at the forefront of my mind. I am ever willing to remain on-call to diagnose system faults and reduce pinch points within my department, thus uplifting the operational output for aircraft leaving the maintenance cycle and returning to full flight capability on time and within budget. A keen mentor and coach, ever willing to develop inexperienced staffs’ skill-sets and see them nurtured through continuous professional development opportunities as they present themselves.

This position saw me undertake a comprehensive training package and continue with my On-the-Job training through means of an NVQ/Apprenticeship, whereby I conducted all aspects of mechanical and propulsion training. As part of this training, it was necessary to investigate major system faults, identify and interrogate fault reports raised against each associated component to establish root cause anomalies and analyse safe systems of work to become competent in my field. It was also required of me to have a firm grip on the aircraft, its internal workings, both physically and theoretically and a complete understanding for all maintenance procedures and their contents to complete various engineering activities.

Carry out all aspects of ground handling, fault diagnosis and fault rectification, coupled with in-depth preventative maintenance and scheduled servicings of complex systems, sub systems, aircraft and specialist tools, including RB199, fuel, hydraulics, starting, air-flow control, air-to-air re-fuelling and associated control systems.At the forefront of engineering on my shift, I am in contact with external agencies and engineering design authorities to resolve any further rectification of aircraft systems, which can lead to the Full-Service Embodiment process of aircraft parts to enhance their effectiveness. I am also responsible for raising and enforcing Risk and COSHH Assessments applicable to the working environment, ensuring all relevant H&S measures were taken to reduce elements of risk and provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment required for carrying out maintenance activities.
