Experience
Technician ( September 2011 to present)
Virgin Atlantic
An A licensed technician, working both mechanical and avionic disciplines responsible for scheduled A-check/routine maintenance as well as casualty, AOG, engine changes and 3rd party work. With my A licence and associated company approvals across the fleet I am relied upon to work independently and certify tasks. I am also required to supervise and mentor apprentices.

Apprentice Engineer (September 2007 to September 2011)
Virgin Atlantic
This involved the first year based at Northbrook College completing NVQ level 3 and BTEC certificates in aerospace engineering, whilst developing basic hand skills in both sheet metal and avionic work. I then went on to complete all modules for my CAA issued EASA Cat A and B1 licences, whilst being placed on ‘on job training’ within engineering departments, and at both line and hangar maintenance facilities. I spent the final year of my apprenticeship based as a technician at London Gatwick Hanger, working on both Virgin and Easy jet fleet.

Kitchen Assistant (part time) (January 2007 to September 2007)
Wetherspoons
Whilst still in education I worked as a part-time kitchen assistant, where I helped cook and prepare meals. This job gave me my first real insight into health and safety in the workplace.
