SKILLS/EXPERTISE

MECHANICAL

• Extensive experience in all hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanics, combustion, engines, fuel systems and

electrical work. Along with, troubleshooting systems and theories of operation.

• Knowledge of schematics, blueprints, technical orders and instructions, special tools with a comprehensive

aspect of what tools to use and how they work. Overall mechanical knowledge.

• Differing myself from most mechanics in the aviation career field, my knowledge is on fixed and rotary wing

aircraft. This gives me a major advantage with creative thinking and aircraft knowledge.

• Understand all OSHA and Hazardous (HAZMAT) control and handling procedures. As a supervisor and

manager, I enforce HAZMAT and safety regulations on a daily basis.

MANAGERIAL/SUPERVISORY

• Accomplished leader/manager. Asked by superiors to come above pay grade to become a major CV-22

Osprey (Helicopter) inspection coordinator.

• Managed shift for a year as major inspection coordinator, successfully delegated and completed over 2,500

tasks ahead of projected pre-determined timelines. Documented every single job completed on every single

task on forms and a specific Air Force - based computer program.

• Effective multi-tasker. Constantly coordinating with other maintenance specialties (Such as metals, wheel and

tire, logistics, electricians, avionics) to come work their jobs in order to ensure the maintenance is done as

quickly as possible.

• Abundance of logistic knowledge, able to apply flow of work in relation to parts arriving or going out.

• Adaptability is a trait ingrained in my body. Ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. In aircraft maintenance no

day is similar to another.

Liles

• Seasoned supervisory skills. Documented and supervised five subordinates. In the military its more than just

work, a supervisor is a 24/7 job to take care of your subordinates.

• Trained over 150 co-workers in past six years on aircraft maintenance and documenting procedures to raise

qualification rates and to ensure safe and proper maintenance was being practiced.

• Managed Fitness program for my unit for two years. Developed and managed over 100 people by medically

clearing them, scheduling annual/biannual physical fitness tests while still working primary job.
