A typical day at work would start with the daily meeting (20-30 mins) in which every team member updates the project managers and the Integration Production Team Lead (IPTL) with their progress and checklist, share any concerns about the progress moving forward, assigned new outstanding tasks. I would then go to my desk, start working on the project of highest priority (priority changes according to the deadlines and delivery dates). I started at 8h and finished at around 17h sometimes after if there is a rush.

I have learned a great deal not only from the tasks I took on my own and the challenges that I had to tackle but also from talking to professionals who always shared their experiences with me. I learned how to operate CATIA V4 and V6 and that was new because I had only been using V5. I learned how to use ENOVIA. I grew my knowledge in design being assigned several projects as the design engineer where I had to follow engineering procedures and FAARs standards in order to meet the requirements and find a design solution, keeping cost at low as possible without compromising reliability or performance. I was part of production support on the 412 EPI so that involved doing the engineering changes for maintenance and reliability improvement. Some tasks I took on involved making engineering changes on CAD software and drafting the new drawings with the changes and then generating Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) in ENOVIA. Having the factory line right there inside the plant was great because you get to get a good visual and learn more talking to the manufacturing engineers. 

My co-workers were really great, they were all very approachable and very helpful. They taught me a lot during working hours and they were always fun to talk to after we clock out. I still keep in touch with a few of them.

The hardest part of the job was the most enjoyable part at the same time; that is operating under constant pressure and expectation to meet the deadlines. I enjoyed working under pressure because it really tested my skills. I learned that I can work on several projects and keep up with the changing requirements and for me that was great. Although everyone on the team had a lot of tasks to complete, everyone was still assisting one another with their tasks if needed while managing to keep a smile on their faces.

There is a lot more to share because it was a very rich experience.

Working at Bell Helicopter was a great experience. I had the opportunity to evolve and acquire new skills and experiences with each of my new assignments. 

One of the highlights was the opportunity to work with a few departments other than engineering during my employment. For example, working with the shop floor to solve a flight clearance problem, collaborate with manufacturing to find the issues with the new software being deployed. 

I learned how to delegate and to provide status updates on projects to management. I really enjoyed the camaraderie with my colleagues and the opportunities that management gave me to further my career. 

Looking to challenge myself further, I left my engineering metrics coordinator job to work in the mass properties group. This transition was one of the hardest part of my work experience at Bell Helicopter.  It was a very technical job with coordination with the shop floor but it was very fulfilling and I learned a lot. Even though I had left the mass properties position, I was called upon as an ad hoc replacement after my departure.

Eh, Eh Eh come here!!  My colleges are looking forward to work with me.  I am a Customer oriented person.

What you learned:

It's all about People and communication.  They only put computer in front of us to distract us from our goals....Communicating......If you are technically knowledgeable, it all about communicating...If you are a communicator, it's all about knowing new technologies. Different profiles; different challenges!

Co-workers:  it's all about respect, fun and mostly sharing knowledge to make the employees more independent in executing their daily tasks and jobs efficiently.

The hardest part of the job:  Well again it's all about dealing with people. Isn't that what life is all about?

The most enjoyable part of the job:  Well again, it's all about the people, sharing, developing ourselves with other co-workers, sharing experiences  (whether they are work related or not) It can also be personal experiences related to children, aging parents which are also life challenges and experiences which are of actuality and may have impact on your work from time to time.

Very friendly atmosphere. People were very professional in the aspects of their jobs. I picked up on many aspects of the analytical nature along the way. Management used to be strong well placed, but kind of weakened into the years of 2015 and 2016. Did not really no how to handle situations well with the down sizing of the company. My time there I really enjoyed managing the BEIMS database system. Hardest part of my job maybe dealing with certain personal who needed their data information input like yesterday. Did not happen very often.

-A typical day at work was an exercise in finding out what was going on and how I fit into the grand scheme.
-I got to brush up on my V4 skills and was given a couple of V6 classes
-My manager was off sick mostly so I ended up working for someone who it seemed would rather I didn`t bother him while he planned to take over the original guy`s job.
-Other than my supervisor everyone there was helpful, jovial and talented.
-The hardest part of the job was dealing with my supervisor and getting work released. I wasn`t properly shown how it was done.
- My co-workers made the experience bearable.

Good and proud place to work with all the opportunities to learn and advance your career. Earned a great deal of experiences in workmanship and people values. It had its weaknesses such as spotty management with overloaded business politics. Unbalanced evaluation application from department to department, with higher standards than others. Designed to demotivate and discourage and or De-hire the less desired. Would still go back now that it has changed.
