Career History
August 2012-Present Britten-Norman Aerospace.
(Mechanical Engineer)
Using manual milling/turning machines to produce
precision engineered aerospace components manufactured
from various materials including Titanium/copper/brass/
high grade aluminium/stainless steel/carbon
fibre/nilotrol.
I produce all products and components from highly
detailed engineering drawings with very fine tolerances
to meet the high quality standards within the aerospace
industry this includes one off prototypes to batch.
The use of precision measuring equipment is part of my
daily duties ranging from digital micrometers to CMM
machines to ensure all components produced and
manufactured meet the specifications and requirements.
The setting and operating of 3 axis Bridgeport CNC
Milling machines is also part of my daily role, this
includes basic programming of Licom (Alphacam) the use
and setting of various milling and boring tools
/Cutters. Manual G code data input to edit programme,
April 2012-August The components I produce using the CNC machine are for
2012 more intricate and complex shapes.
F1 Precision Engineering.
Fitter/Turner
CNC Machine Operator/Programmer.
Setting up and programming CNC machining centres and
CNC turning centres using Fanuc, Heidenhain and
Mazatrol controllers, Using the skills and techniques
in manual or CNC machining such as (Boreing/Screw
cutting, internal or
external/Roughing/Finishing/Tapping and Three
dimensional milling I am able to carry out the job from
design to the final fitting or assembly of the parts.
Working with a wide range of materials from Titanium,
Carbon Fibre, Stainless Steel, Brass. Copper, and
composite materials I produce a variety of products
from one off customer designs to mass produced
precision made parts for the Oil, Gas, Automotive,
Marine and Aerospace industries.
Also being responsible for maintenance in all aspects
Sep-2011-april 2012 of the company from plant to machine breakdown/services
and repairs.
