In between all the TP Aerospace green, the pink office supplies on Trina’s desk stand out in the buzzing MRO and warehouse facility in Orlando, Florida.
Trina works as a Distribution Parts and Materials Coordinator in the Supply Chain department. She’s been with TP Aerospace since 2022, and since then, her area of responsibility has grown. When she started, her main task was picking, which means she would collect and arrange piece parts that needed to be shipped to customers. Now, part of her main task is receiving. As a receiver, she is responsible for keeping up with all orders that have come in from our OEM partners and ensuring that they are properly received in the systems, so they can quickly and smoothly be distributed further to our customers. Thus, the main purpose of Trina’s job is ensuring the orderly flow of assets throughout the warehouse, while ensuring that the high-quality standards are met, ultimately to ensure that customers receive a high quality product delivered with high customer service.
Before joining TP Aerospace, Trina worked in a warehouse in the food service sector. When joining TP Aerospace, she ventured into her first experience within aviation.
“It was challenging at first, but my supervisor has given me the tools I need”, she says and adds “training is awesome, and if I have any questions, even if it’s dumb questions, it’s a good question, cause it’s the no-questions that don’t get resolved”.
Even though Trina did not bring any experience from the aviation industry prior to TP Aerospace, she has managed to catch up quickly.
Trina started at TP Aerospace with picking being her main area, and within eight months, she could add a new responsibility as a Parts & Materials Coordinator. “I can grow within the company, and it doesn’t need to be in my department”. Together with her managers they created an action plan for Trina as to how she wanted to grow within TP Aerospace and how they could help her with her goals.
“When I first came in, I was picking and packing, now I’m picking, packing, and receiving. My next step in the group is to be in shipping, so that’s my next phase”.
Her motivation lies in the team. They are there to motivate each other and work together as a whole. When she started, the team was made up of two, and since then the team has grown.
“The team has changed, but it doesn’t seem like it has. Our group is like a family”. The team is a mix of different cultures and ages. “I’m the senior citizen of the group. Fifty going downhill” she jokes.
For anyone who is considering applying for a job at TP Aerospace, Trina has one thing to say: “If the shoe fits and you qualify to wear it – go for it!”.
