Engineers
Tony Dempsey has been ensuring that our aircraft have met and exceeded safe operating standards for the past 20 years. Under his watchful eye, our Maintenance Department was awarded the prestigious Roland Groome Award for high quality aircraft maintenance in Ontario. Tony completed the Aircraft Maintenance Technician course and his Commercial Pilots license at Canadore College. As an engineer, the most rewarding part of Tony's job is to have all helicopters run flawlessly all day, every day. As a pilot, he likes meeting new people from all over the world and leaving them with a smile on their face.
Ken Irvine voyages all around the world with the Canadian Armed Forces eventually led Ken to us. After completing the Aircraft Maintenance Technician course at Canadore College, Ken has spent the past five years in our Maintenance Department. Getting a laugh from one of Ken's “signature” jokes is a daily occurrence in the hangar. In his daily routine, Ken makes it his mission to ensure that all the guys are in a good mood. Nonetheless, he maintains a meticulous work schedule while working in a light-hearted environment. Accordingly, Ken says the best part of his job is the guys that he works with and the top-notch facility in which he works.
Joe Giampa has been patrolling the grounds of Niagara Helicopters Limited for nearly 20 years. Joe is an excellent example of advancement from within. He started out as a Ground Crew Technician in 1989, furthered his education at Canadore College in the Aircraft Maintenance Technician program and has been a staple of our Maintenance Department for the past eight seasons. Joe says that the best part of his job is the satisfaction of taking an aircraft apart and putting it back together into a safe-operating machine.
Mark Miles is the rookie on the staff. That is not to say that he is the least experienced. Mark has worked in the industry for nine years, mostly in Western Canada and the North West Territories for various helicopter companies. As you might have guessed, Mark has also completed the Aircraft Maintenance Technician course at Canadore College. His favourite thing about working here is the relaxed working atmosphere and friendly co-workers.
