Summary

A highly skilled and knowledgeable mechanical technician with a wealth of experience in the oil and gas industry for the last 22 years. A very hard worker who over the years has had to be very flexible with working hours and working environments. I have established supervisory skills and a high prioritization for safety and regulation. I am equally comfortable working as part of a team or using my own initiative. I am equipped with the ability to maintain and drive organization, in a changing environment, and able to communicate effectively with multinational people having worked abroad regularly. I work well under pressure and am always eager for new challenges and the chance to learn new skills. I have a positive and proactive attitude towards health and safety and take both my personal safety and the safety of others extremely seriously. I can work both co-operatively as part of a multidisciplinary team and independently using my own initiative. I am a very performance driven dynamic individual who is always willing to learn and adapt to new roles and uptake any training necessary to ensure the best for my myself and clients. I have a proven track record of meeting deadlines, planning, leading by example and training and instructing others. I have developed on-site experience in working on extensive projects on demanding sites within challenging, fast moving and hazardous environments. I am now looking for a new challenge to bring my discipline, individual drive, commitment, and a first-class can-do attitude to delivering all work scopes safely and on time with a company that values passion, positivity, integrity and hard work.
