Jock’s day-to-day work is anything but predictable. “It really does vary,” he says. “Some days we’re waiting on parts or equipment, other days we’re deep into complex jobs like engine or gearbox changes. A gearbox replacement can take weeks – there are loads of checks before and after fitting, and the testing process is detailed.”
As a supervisor, Jock also manages a significant amount of paperwork. “Sometimes the paperwork takes longer than the job itself,” he laughs. “Even tightening a single critical nut or bolt can require multiple checks and sign-offs to ensure flight safety.”

Supporting the Royal Navy means every job has real-world consequences. “If something critical isn’t fitted properly, things can go seriously wrong,” Jock says. “That’s why we have multiple layers of checks and independent supervision. Safety is everything.”
The relationship with the Navy is a point of pride. “We really feel they really appreciate us being here. We’ve spent years building up the reputation of this team, and we’re trusted to get on with the job. That makes a big difference.”
