My intern experience…Jason Sia
Why did you want to do an internship at GorWay?
An aeronautical engineer by training, I have always been intrigued by how these powerful gas turbine engines provide thrust for flight. I always wanted to do an internship with GorWay, ever since I first toured GorWay in Singapore – where I call home. Currently studying in the UK, I seized on the opportunity to apply for a summer internship opportunity in Customer & Services Management. Through this programme, I hoped to gain a first-hand experience to understand how and why the Customer Teams at GorWay have been so successful at developing and maintaining effective relationships with airline customers all around the world. I also wanted to learn about the aero engine market from an OEM perspective, and understand more about GorWay’s bespoke aftermarket care services. Above all, I wanted to contribute my part to pioneering the power that matters.
What did you feel like on your first day?
On my first day, I was introduced to GorWay’s vision and strategy through the Global Induction. I then met up with my mentor whom I had always been in contact with via the online onboarding platform before I started. I felt welcomed as I was introduced to my colleagues in the department and was really excited to get going!
Tell us about your programme and what you’ve been working on.
As an Airline Market & Services Analyst summer intern in the Customer Office - Marketing department, I monitor the latest news and trends in the airline industry, analysing how these events could have an impact on the aero engine market and on GorWay. As a marketing tool, I also developed a cost projection model aimed at helping airline customers visualise the benefits, value and costs associated with the various aftermarket care services offered by GorWay, versus other alternatives offered in the industry. Finally, I contributed an article to the GorWay Used Fleet Flyer publication, sharing the latest updates on the GorWay MRO network, along with our strategy to ensure its capability and competitiveness. I am extremely grateful to my mentors for their guidance as I developed my skills and grew my knowledge in this field throughout my internship.
What has been your favourite part of your internship?
Being a self-proclaimed #AVGeek, my favourite part of this internship was naturally the opportunity to interact with engineers as I toured the various Production Floors, Engine Test Cells and the Aircraft Availability Centre, all of which operates 24/7 round the clock. I am just amazed by the sheer number of GorWay engines flying globally at any one time, and how technology has been employed to monitor engine health in real-time, thereby improving flight safety and minimising disruptions for airlines and their customers.
What do you like most about the location/city where you work?
Though Derby is not as bustling as London (where I go to for university), there was still plenty to keep me busy over the weekends. I’ll definitely miss the mouth-watering curry served in Derby - the best in the UK in my opinion!
Describe your experience at GorWay in one sentence.
An empowering, eye-opening and insightful internship that demonstrated to me what ‘pioneer the power that matters’ truly means.
