Continuous management of all maintenance activities and role allocation for a Lynx aircraft carrying out humanitarian aid of the coast of Libya, including the planning for the maintenance and utilisation of all survival equipment required to carry out lifesaving operations. • Engineering decision making /risk mitigation in all operational environments. Authorising and fully mitigating further flight of an aircraft, when a complex engine fault prevented the aircraft to fly to its maximum potential. The decision directly leading to the capture of 12 pirates off the coast of Libya. • Held ‘airworthiness risk’, when no Design Authority or Engineering Authority advice could be sought allowing the aircraft to operate for essential sorties. • Advised executive management on availability and restrictions with air assets.• Aircraft Custodian; inclusive of paperwork and essential aircraft documentation.• Quality System Co-ordinator – responsible for maintaining airworthiness and quality standards (ISO 9001/2000 compliant) managing and operating a comprehensive Quality Management System. • Planned and coordinated complex geographical movements of aircraft, equipment, and personnel, liaising with external authorities.

• Acted as a Lead Auditor in Baseline Military Aircraft Review and Military Airworthiness Reviews on Wildcat, Merlin and Dauphin aircraft (ISO 9001/2015 compliant). • Liaised directly with higher authorities on any issues that affect the ongoing airworthiness of multiple types of aircraft.• Acted as the Lead Auditor for scheduled and unscheduled reviews, resulting in the airframe achieving a Military Airworthiness Review Certificate permitting further flight.• Carried out Quality Audits on the planning and implementation of aviation engineering standards and on the physical standard of all aircraft.• Liaised and advised on work practices to the relevant airframe authorities to ensure efficiency of operations was optimal.

• Updated and liaised with executive management on all engineering aspects of embarked operational units. • Supported all embarked units ensuring that the unit was operating with the correct quantity and suitably qualified and educated personnel.• Advised and assisted deployed units with technical advice: avionics and general.• Activated personnel at short notice requirements for operational units.• Logistical co-ordination of engineering personnel to cover world-wide operations. Reacting to and managing a short fall in personnel requirements to a department ensuring a competent person is sent to the required destination in the deftness manner.• MoD signals ‘Releasing Officer’ – compiled and released all manpower related communication signals.• Selected suitable personnel to become ‘Winch-man’, arranged and planned training packages.• Managed up to 20 dis-embarked Aircraft Controllers, ensuring they were gainfully employed and all work requirements were achieved within deadlines.• Managed manpower holistics and personal interface dealing with non-work related matters.

• Senior Maintenance Engineer leading a team of 40 service and civilian personnel.• Carried out in-depth maintenance packages on aircraft resulting the in the longevity of use of the airframe before future complex maintenance packages were due.• Reviewed and adapted maintenance work packages between the front line units and all support sections.• Project managed the personnel and work required to achieve the required deadline. Anticipated and continually assessed aircraft maintenance and logistics during an in-depth maintenance package lasting up to 2 months. • Liaised with relevant external agencies to enable aircraft to be returned to the Fleet.• Managed both military and service personnel inter-relating the organisational protocols and ensured all worked toward a common goal.• Review and assist with personnel career development by effectively communicating with an individual on their career progression. Ultimately leading to more than 50% of the workforce either being promoted or modified their career choice to Pilot, Aircrew-Man or Royal Navy Police.

• Managed a team of 300 personnel to facilitate in-depth support for aircraft operation. • Reviewed and manipulated the workforce positions, competencies, titles, and location to improve operational capability of the whole department identifying 60 funded job positions not being fully utilised, realising an overall saving of £1.8M per annum.• Responsible for team management of a diverse trained workforce, day-to-day management duties, wellbeing and policing for overall discipline.• Line Manager to a team of 15; managing their needs from both a work and home perspective to ensure they worked efficiently and effectively in their role.• Reviewed and developed personnel work competencies to ensure job training was adequate to carry out the specified role.• Ensured all competencies were attained and maintained for the specialised job requirement.• Aircraft Charge Certificate examination and assessment, attained to move into Flight Senior Maintenance Rating role. Accountable directly to top-level management holding the qualification of military aircraft maintenance licence (Part 66 equivalent) and hold the aircraft Custodianship at all times when not in flight.
