USAF Nov 1979-Nov 2002 Production Supervisor/A&P Mechanic/Inspector (Quality Assurance)

As Supervised I coordinated the daily inspections of aircraft and support equipment valued in millions of dollars. Ran a maintenance dispatch vehicle with 30 personnel of various specialties and dispatched as needed to repair assets on hand and maintain the next day’s flying schedule. Performed spot check of work being performed ensuring strict adherance to technical manuals and policies. All assets were fully mission capable to meet the flying schedule and all departed on time continuously. Maintained a daily status report of condition of aircraft assigned under my responsibility and reported to management the time and parts required to return the aircraft to fully mission capable status. Maintained a variety of aircraft through-out tenure by performing maintenance on aircraft hydraulic/pneumatic systems, engine and subsystems, aircraft general, primary and secondary flight controls, landing gear and brake systems, oxygen and nitrogen systems. Tasks include trouble-shooting systems by isolating defective component using electrical diagrams and schematics and removing and replacing defective items (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic) and performing a full operational check to return integrity of system to airworthiness condition. I also perform critical tasks such as refueling, towing, jacking and launching and recovering airplanes. I wash aircraft and prepped for phased inspection by depaneling aircraft, opening thrust reversers and engine cowlings. Due to my outstanding quality control evaluation, I was assigned special inspection and certification orders of all aircraft systems to perform final release of aircraft prior to each flight. I was the last set of eyes the aircraft saw before it departed on a mission. All aircraft departed on time and returned home safely after every mission.
