PERSONEL STATEMENT
I believe that I would be an asset in any organisation that I am employed by as I understand the requirements and
operation of the oil and gas industry. This is due to my previous experience gained on the Cormorant A, North
Cormorant and the Dunlin Alpha whilst employed by AMEC in a variety of roles over the last 18 years. I believe
that by being employed in the various posts demonstrates that I have the ability to adapt to any job requirements.
Whilst on the Dunlin I have been employed as the Platform Scheduler and also as the Operations Platform
Coordinator for the majority of my time I have when required covered the Maintenance Team Leader and the
Mechanical Supervisor positions. I have also being heavily involved in shutdown preparation and planning
particularly when doing Mechanical Team Leader role on the Cormorant Alpha and North Cormorant, although I
have been involved in shutdown preparation work on the Dunlin Alpha. From 2012 to 2104 I worked onshore as a
Scheduler and during this time I worked closely with the Maintenance Manager, Asset Planner, Maintenance
Support Engineers, Technical Authority’s, Project Engineers as well as the 28 day planner logistics Coordinator. I
believe that this was invaluable experience and has helped me get a greater understanding of the overall process of
the complete work flow process conception to completion. I am now even more aware that all work activities have
to be properly planned and prepared by the onshore personnel as well as the offshore teams. This is particularly
important when there are activities which require third parties vendors to be mobilised to complete workscopes.
Some of my personality traits are that I am a complaint, committed, dedicated and I always strive to perform as
well as possible and endeavor to reach any goals or KPI’s I am set. Another one of key strengths is that I work well
in a team and in a team environment which I see as important for a team to perform well. To develop my career I
would be ideally would be looking to be employed in a Mechanical Maintenance supervisory or a
Scheduler/Coordinator role although I would consider other similar roles at home or abroad
