WORK EXPERIENCE

Ceywater Consultants Limited 2013

Entered as a trainee at M/s. Ceywater Consultants Limited, Sri Lanka in 2013 to obtain experience on quantity surveying and a taste of an engineering workspace

I supported senior engineers by helping prepare bill of quantities based on drawings and CAD models

Asian Aviation Centre 2014

Hands-on flying experience led to a Private Pilot License (PPL) program from Asian Aviation Centre, Sri Lanka with approximately 50 hours of logged flight time on a Cessna 152

Successfully advanced through basic and advanced aircraft flight controls, radio communication, emergency procedures and multitasking in a high stress high workload environment

University of Manchester 2015

Team lead

Class leading grades were scored leading a basic transport jet aircraft design project with the objective of designing the most feasible aircraft for a given range and passenger capacity

Systems Engineer

Successfully selected over competing students to lead an interdisciplinary team on a 3rd year satellite design project taking place over a semester on the preliminary design of an orbital satellite servicer

Efficient collaboration with the project manager, writing concepts reports, preparing weekly progress presentations and coordinating work across multiple different engineering disciplines resulted in placed among top 3 designs

Research

A proposal for an experimental morphing wing design was accepted by a research professor and was successfully designed, built and tested in the University wind tunnel labs

Research was centered around the application of smart materials for aircraft control surfaces expected to provide double digit gains over conventional control methods

Senok Air 2018

Under the supervision of the chief engineer I worked alongside a junior maintenance team carrying out checks on a fleet of H125 helicopters. Where appropriate I assisted in carrying out basic maintenance work.

Familiarized myself with the maintenance notification system used by Airbus operators to send/receive maintenance alerts.

PERSONAL INTEREST

RC Aircraft Design: Designed and built a home-made remotely operated quadcopter drone in UAVs making use of SolidWorks, basic electrical circuit theory, component integration and flight control software
