Creator of Tomorrow
Justin was lucky enough to land his dream job soon after graduation. As a child, he was always fascinated by planes, amazed by how such a massive structure could maneuver in the skies so effortlessly. It's a thrill that continues to give him an adrenalin rush and also a deep sense of satisfaction everytime an aircraft is re-delivered.
“The fun,” he says “comes from getting to plan and track the progress of aircraft checks coming into the hangar.
“There are so many variables in a check such as shortage of spares, unexpected findings, and insufficient ground time that add to the job's challenge. People skills are a pre-requisite to successfully deal with so many different people and it is certainly not a job for the faint-hearted or weak-willed!”
To date Justin has earned quite a few feathers in his cap. He was part of the team that handled the redelivery of 25 aircraft within a record of 3 years. He also has the distinction of being posted to Airbus Production Plant in Toulouse, France to perform Customer Production Inspection (CPI) for a Customer's new A320. After Justin's tenure at Quality & Safety, he was posted to the CEO's Office for a stint as Staff Assistant, to gain exposure to management issues, strategic business planning and business development initiatives.
