On completion of military service i thought i would like to try some of the NDT courses as that looked interesting. However after doing the courses and passing i found it was not my cup of tea. Got a call from a UK based offshore maintenance company and i have not looked back since. I started on the tools and worked my way up to a point where i was managing projects of large scale and budgets. Further experience on different types of vessels and platforms also enhanced my overall knowledge of the different designs and technology that are found offshore in today's drilling rigs. A number of years also spent working in the UAE with land rig overhauls, which entails a complete strip down to component form and then rebuilding it back to operational status, normally in 40 days. Many years spent on all different types of jack up rigs, with scopes ranging from crown removals to derrick installation and numerous other types of scopes.
Copious land rig strip downs to component form, then blast and inspect followed by painting and finally rebuilding back to OEM specification as well as to API criteria.
Numerous investigations carried out always at very short notice as to the root cause with recommendations to prevent a occurrence.
Project Manager of a multi million dollar scope taking place with regard to evaluation of the fabricated jackets for customer acceptance.
Often deployed at short notice to drilling companies to trouble shoot issues and come to a solution to get the rig back onto day rate as quick as possible.
