I provided Advanced Engineering support to the maintenance department and provide reliability and availability reports to the company to evaluate the overall performance of the fleet.

I prepared and Customized Aircraft Specifications after the signing of the Purchase Agreement. Meetings were held with the perspective manufacturer to define the aircraft interior colors and materials, exterior renderings, aircraft technical systems, aviation regulatory requirements, and effectively negotiated pricing of the additional components to be installed during completion.

I also performed a green aircraft inspection prior to induction into the completion center, followed through with the entire completion process from the initial fit of the components, through paint layouts, installation of interior, and final phase delivery from the manufacturer to the customer.

Periodic follow ups were performed after the aircraft were delivered to NetJets with the Air Crew, Maintenance Team, and Sales Team to determine desired improvements to the overall product.

The latest trends in aviation and technology was also researched on a constant basis to introduce the most recent products into the aircraft that will best suit our customers.
