Summary

Throughout my career, mainly in the aviation industry, I have gained considerable knowledge of store management, operations, procurement, and safety equipment management. This includes, but is not limited to, the management of inventory, stocktaking (including off-site branches), policies and procedures, import and export of goods (including all paperwork such as dangerous goods), assembly, service, and repairs of helmets and safety equipment, local, international, and overseas purchasing, people management, customer and supplier liaison, computer systems, and overall store management duties. I have built valuable working relationships, worked alongside and managed many different employees and situations, and have had broad exposure to many areas within the aviation industry, which I thoroughly enjoy. I am an enthusiastic individual experienced in analyzing issues on service calls, finding practical solutions, and offering an engaging and pleasant personality with expertise in building customer relationships. I possess outstanding diagnostics skills. I am a responsible technician with excellent troubleshooting, customer service, and analytics skills and with many years of experience. I am highly effective in complying with safety requirements, evidenced by zero work loss days. I have broad skills in maintenance and bench building.
