My Job
Tools I work with
Each department uses different tools, depending on what we do, and Boeing has tools that are specific to the company. My computer and Blackberry help keep things running smoothly and give me access to my staff and supervisors.
In lay-up where we work on the aft strut, which is under the wing between the engine and the body, we use clamps, a drill and tool pin and special knives and gloves. A heat gun heats the material and gets it vacuumed before we can buy it off.
