Summary

I have more than 25 years of aviation experience. of which I have worked 8 years in Maintenance Watch. Having worked in both MRO and airline environments, I have a good perception of the needs of the industry. Though primarily from an Avionics background, my experience as Maintenance Watch manager and Line Maintenance Manager with Jet airways and maintenance watch engineer and engineer defect analysis cell with Emirates airlines, has given me good exposure and understanding of airframe and engine trades. Having worked in both MRO and airline environments, I have a good perception of the needs of the industry. Though primarily from an Avionics background, my experience as maintenance watch team lead and line maintenance team lead with Jet airways and maintenance watch engineer and engineer defect analysis cell with Emirates airlines, has given me good exposure and understanding of airframe and engine trades. I have successfully led a team of mechanics and engineers,both in my role as line maintenance manager and maintenance watch manager. I was involved in carrying out various modifications, problem analysis, and defect rectification, initiating preventive and predictive maintenance strategies for 737- 300/400/500/700/800/900 aircraft and ATR 72 aircraft. At Emirates airlines, my job profile as a maintenance watch engineer and engineer defect analysis broadly includes; carrying out analysis of aircraft defects, issue of work instructions, liaison with maintenance planning, and handling of A.O.G of Boeing 777 series,A330, and A380 aircraft. I have as a line support engineer with Emirates airlines handling AOGs and major defects. I hold basic Airframe, Engine, and Avionics licenses issued by CASA, EASA GCAA United Arab Emirates, Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia, and India. One of my strengths is a strong analytical mind and problem-solving ability. I also have a strong ability to lead teams no matter their background or personality. I can relate to many people by approaching them from their level and getting to know them in a way, they are most comfortable with. Having worked successfully in a multicultural environment with Emirate airlines benefited me immensely in enhancing my interpersonal relationship skills. I have a Bachelors certificate in Aviation management from Griffith university.

Accomplishments

    As a line maintenance manager with Jet airways, I was responsible for running safety campaign at line maintenance department. I have conducted number of safety classes to my colleagues which include safety policy and objectives, safety responsibilities, safety risk management, safety promotion and safety assurance. As part of safety assurance, I was a part of an audit team which conducted safety audits.

    Successfully led a project at Jet airways to eliminate the mismatch of stored aircraft parts and the available parts reflected in AMOS, a software solution used by MRO and airlines.

    As a maintenance manager I have conducted training classes for my mechanics mainly on safety aspects of working on the aircraft and imparted limited technical knowledge to help them understand the systems and generate enthusiasm in them to work towards career progression.

    I was a part of a project at Emirates airlines working towards electronic technical logs and paperless cockpit.

    At Vayudoot airlines; a relatively new airline then, I have fabricated a test bench to test Rockwell Collins VOR receiver VIR 30 which helped company from not investing for a new test setup. I have received an appreciation for my work from chief engineering manager.
