Update: As of Oct 2024, I accepted a risky job with a large and well-known (in the tower/construction industry) company. I deemed it risky because the branch I would be reporting to at least weekly is 100 miles from my home. I agreed to such a feat because 1. I want to climb towers again and 2. it was also agreed I would be gone for an average of week trips. What I didn't know about the company is how terribly disorganized and inconsistent with communications they are. I also was not forewarned I would be subject to non-related filler work when tower work isn't available. So I spent the beginning of my new position doing menial labor install signs on the ground for a business. I was told there was plenty of that type of work while in the crew. I could not justify driving 100 miles one way to do menial labor work since I onboarded exclusively to be a tower technician, of which ai was re-certified via the company's training division. I felt I needed to make a quick executive decision before potentially wasting anymore gas money and time on the road, so I very reluctantly told the branch manager I would turn in my company gear. I am at a stage in life and career where I am very serious about what I set out to do. I am a professional and a technician in two fields- Auto mechanic and cell equipment structures and technology. I am furthermore fervent about responsible, reliable, and integrity in communication. No company is perfect, but there needs to be consistency with communication and organization. To confirm my new lack of trust with them, I found the worst google review number that I have ever seen with any large or small company. I have returned my gear and updated my newly acquired re-certifications...and ready to roll. capt Make it Happen

We’re new here to Canada, so allow us to introduce ourselves: We are Blue Tongue, an Australian business that has developed a groundbreaking upskill Program to reinvent the way you solve your Heavy Duty Equipment Technician skills shortages for the long term. Because we’re not a recruitment company or a labour hire organization, we approach solving persistent skills shortages differently. We partner with Clients to understand their long-term workforce needs, then design an Advanced Group Training upskill program to help them fill their critical Heavy Duty Equipment workforce gaps. We invite only the most dedicated auto mechanics to undertake the Program and train them to become qualified Heavy Duty Equipment Technicians using industry-leading training methods and technology, combined with on-the-job experience. This approach not only means technicians are ready to be productive from their first day onsite, but that workforce retention and workplace culture are improved. If you’d like to solve skills shortages for the long term and help build up your skilled, dedicated workforce, then get in touch to learn more.

??ing all my Technician Friends ?? This has been one of my favorite weeks in recent months. I have dedicated this week to shop flow and efficiency. This has been a humble reminder of what you all go through. My back hurts, got soaked with coolant and power steering fluid. The shops I spent time in doubled their average car count and improved recommendations by 3 or higher per inspection. Here is my dilema and could use your insight on how I can better messsge the whys and how important it is to check basics before causing more work or chasing parts…Instead of taking time to better diagnose? This vehicle we replaced a reman engine and at idle suffered no oil pressure until we accelerated. My technician was quick to insist that the oil pump was bad. I tried to ask open ended questions and provoke different thinking. He was getting frustrated with me and my intent wasn’t to argue, but avoid 15 hours additional labor to replace a part that wouldn’t solve the problem. I had to insist that he remove oil pan and check o ring on pick up tube and verify no blockage. Before I ordered oil pump. We replaced o ring and and reassembled….. Great oil pressure now! How can I help better message this area?What are ways that you worked with your leaders and or advisors that helped you in your early journeys for those master techs? What advice could you give me or younger technicians entering this field? I am no way a master technician ????. I try to stay in the know to keep us out of trouble and help everyone be more productive and successful. And Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Your work is the most important in our industry…. It’s tough on your bodies and many times the most thankless. I see you and I appreciate YOU ??

Working as a technician on aircraft isn't just a job; it's a craft. Every day, I’m amazed by the complexity yet precision needed in aerospace assembly. When fitting components together, it strikes me that each piece, no matter how small, plays a critical role in the larger system. Each bolt, every panel, and wire are essential for the entire aircraft to function as it should. Much like in life, where even our smallest actions can have a significant impact. Picture this , missing a single bolt in an aircraft assembly could lead to catastrophic failures. Similarly, neglecting tiny details in our daily lives can snowball into bigger issues down the road. This attention to detail makes aerospace work relatable to everyone. Whether you're in aerospace or not, realizing the importance of every small task helps us appreciate our role in the world. Think of these points in your daily routine: - Every small step counts. - Consistency and precision build towards a bigger goal. - Paying attention to detail prevents future problems. Next time you’re working, think of yourself as an important piece in a larger mechanism. No action is too small to make a difference. As an aircraft technician, I see the value of small details every single day. Let’s apply that in our lives and work. We’re all part of something bigger.

How does a mechanic turn out to be a Fractional Operations Manager? Yes, you read that right a mechanic. My first job out of high school was as a mechanic. I was the only female mechanic in my year at TAFE, I had to work twice as hard as the gents. But I was also one of the luckiest. Lucky because It took me 50 interviews and rejections before I found a great boss willing to give a girl a go. While the others knocked me back because of it. This gave me insane resilience. What did I learn? I learnt to ask a lot of questions and why was this important? Because working on cars you need to be great at asking questions to find the issue people are having with their cars to diagnose the fault. The car making some noise wasn’t enough to distinguish where to look. You needed specifics where when how long, hot cold etc This was one thing I excelled at diagnostics. Problem-solving and putting puzzles together was my favourite part of being a mechanic. This is where I started to develop my skills of asking the right questions. It's why I ask so many today. Each question shows me another puzzle piece. This career led me into different industries and I often became the fixer wherever I went. The original plan was to use my trade to join the fire brigade. It didn’t quite pan out that way Instead, I became a corporate firefighter. When shit broke or was on fire I was one of the ones to run towards it and fix it. So now as a Fractional Operations Manager I hold the hose and put out those fires, find where they started, ask the right questions and fix the issue that caused it in the first place. This is why Businesses work with me. I don’t just put out the spot fires for the owner, I fix the cause. Then keep it all running smoothly while helping you grow.
