Aircraft maintenance engineer

Objective


I am an Aerospace engineering graduate who is keen to find a position as an engineer. I am a reliable, hardworking, quick-learner and meticulous individual. Have worked in the aircraft industry and spent some time in a busy international airport and gained a good

understanding of what is required of an engineer.

I have the ability to demonstrate structural compliance to FAR parts

23, 25 and EASA part 66. Experienced with composite structures

fabrication, bonded and bolted assemblies and have an awareness of

assembly tooling methods. Able to work in an aggressive team

environment, demonstrating exceptional communication skills on

technical issues. I'm quite knowledgeable in standard and

international engineering procedures. I possess analytical, design and problem-solving skills.


Experience


EMPLOYMENT:

September 2003- Apr 2005:

BMW Group, Plant Oxford, Oxford, Oxfordshire



Warehouseman

Responsible for data entry/retrieval on a Windows database, as well as

production scheduling.

Duties include the shearing of copper-clad laminate for printed circuit boards.

Occasional supervision of up to six employees in stocking, inventory

control and forklift operation for truck loading and unloading.



April 2005-Present

AKKI Aviation Services



I have worked on HARTZELL, McCauley & SENSENICH propellers. I have

also gained skills in pressure-testing hoses and pipes using hydraulic

fluid under pressures of at least 500PSI using NIKE equipment and

recorded results, translating technical drawings and manuals not

originally written in English e.g. French, Russian. Got wide knowledge

of Non-Destructive Testing methods e.g. Dye-Penetrant, ultrasonic and

optical holography, and their particular application to aircraft in

service. I obtained good experience in carrying out modifications on

all CIRRUS aircraft models speedily and accurately as well as on

wooden, fabric and laminate structures found on APR/SAB ROBIN models.

I am also able assist aircraft operators with flight operations

support activities like line riding, flight audits and customized

flight crew presentations. I have produced videos and familiarization

booklets for each engine/airframe combination presently in our

service. Additionally, AKKI has developed an awareness presentation

program about in-flight shutdown (IFSD) prevention. This provides

crews with important information on cockpit procedures that are

designed to reduce the potential for IFSDs.

My theoretical skills made me responsible for providing material

selection, testing, manufacturing process development and design

support in the screening and selection of advanced materials

(composite prepregs, resins, fibers, adhesives, surfacing films) and

manufacturing processes through cost/benefit analyses.

I am able to provide detail analysis activity conducted in the area of

aircraft power plant integration, propulsion installation and systems

integration including engines e.g. Lycoming, Rolls Royce Continental, PT6,

PW150 electronic control systems annunciations, nacelle integration, engine

and inlet de-icing systems, fuel systems and mounting systems.

I have also had to evaluate work processes to determine strategies and

programs which provide greater quality of company products and

functions as well as setting up audit schedules for areas of

manufacturing to ensure all Quality documentation is being followed

and standardization of inspection processes and tooling.
