Nicholas Hey

Hard working and eager to learn person, who completed first year of civil engineering at Portsmouth University between 2021-2022 but couldn't complete due to financial circumstances. Then joined the RAF from 2022-2026(currently). In that time worked in different departments within the RAF, with the majority as a technician, but also sometime working alongside the Media and Communications officer.

Currently trying to branch out into a new industry and career, but also happy to do work in line with what I have done previously – although keen for new challenge.

Operations Support Wing - RAF

(2025-10)

During this time my responsibilities ranged from helping the media team, creating PowerPoints for the CO, too ensuring the quality of the accommodation rooms when individuals would move, as well as ensuring the tidiness of the camp in general.

Aircraft technician Avionics - RAF

(2022-12 - 2025-10)

During this period, I worked in a technical environment as part of a team to diagnose and rectify any faults on the aircraft. This also gave me insight into H&S procedures, as well as learning the correct methods of documenting work, as well as relaying the information to the CoC.

Warehouse Operator / Chef - DHL / Various Restaurants

(2019 - 2022)

While I attended University and college, I worked as a Warehouse Operator for DHL sorting postal packages into the correct postcodes, and as well as a chef in a few restaurants. During this time I learnt the meaning of urgency and how preparation/concentration helps you survive in stressful situations.

Swim Coach / Pub Worker / Work Experience at Engineering Company - Various

(2019)

I worked as a swim coach for a few swim schools in my local area, as well working in a pub. I also completed a work experience at an engineering company during my Level 3 BTech qualification. This provided me with insight into the office environment and working culture.
