Employment History Royal Navy 2010 - Present
Avionics Maintenance Technician, RNAS Culdrose Sep 2014 - Present
• Responsible for fault diagnosis and fault rectification of avionic components, ensuring
recovery of unserviceable items from front line operations and working with multiple targets
to meet front line output capability. Working with a small team, communication and high
awareness of current environment output was imperative. All work was carried out to a
stringent standard and adhering to health and safety legislation, resulting in maximum
component availability to the customer.
• Trusted working unsupervised, components needed to be rectified under the correct
wiring/avionic diagrams and in accordance with precision termination tooling and
procedures. Problem solving by a step by step approach, an array of testing had to be
carried out calculating the voltage, amplitude and resistance throughout the component
under test to find and rectify the fault.
• Taking on extra additional roles, the recording of the components rectification on paper and
electronic was appointed due to having a high level of system and process knowledge.

maintenance tasks and relevant aircraft paperwork as well as on occasion being responsible
for downloading and uploading highly secretive decryptions for the aircrafts communication
systems and GPS.
• Directly involved in avionic systems, technical repairs and aircraft maintenance, including
but not limited to fault diagnoses and subsequent fault rectification under supervision.
• Worked in a small team of engineers on deployment in Afghanistan, in arduous conditions
for prolonged periods of time, keeping the serviceability of aircraft high for operational
tasking.
• Employed with authorisation to perform weapon loading with supervision, including removal
and replacement of high-risk explosive cartridges and external explosive equipment.

with managers for funding and allocation of welfare funds.
849 NAS, Aircraft Technician, RNAS Culdrose Dec 2011 - Jan 2013
• Predominantly working on line operations taking the lead to make sure all flight line tasks
where managed in a timely fashion and manpower was correctly allocated whilst ensuring
the correct health and safety procedures were carried out when working in potential
hazardous areas.
• Worked autonomously as a plane captain, coordinating unsupervised flight servicing,
assisting supervisors with aircraft moves and other team evolutions.
• Involved in ground running of aircraft with both pilots and supervisors engaging in system
fault diagnoses and system pre-flight checks, communicating with the trade lead to further
avionic trade knowledge.
Depth Facility, Aircraft Technician, RNAS Culdrose Jul 2011 - Dec 2011
• Worked as tradesman on the squadron depth maintenance facility, carrying out zonal
maintenance and component replacements with minimal supervision.
• Involved in removal and replacement of highly important aircraft components working to
close tolerances and recording accurate measurements such as radar scanner mounting
equipment, generators and intricate parts of the fire bottle explosive cartridge systems.
• Managed full rebuild on aircrafts electrical components, ordering correct modification parts
and replacing all system components following the relevant aircraft publications only liaising
with supervisors when necessary.
• As one of the more experienced junior technicians at work, as an additional role I organized
all inflammable materials and usage banks, as well as the ordering and return of all stores
resulting in a refined working environment and enhanced health and safety practices.
