With 19 years’ of experience in the oil and gas industry, both onshore and offshore, I have gained valuable “shop floor” experience as Drill Crew before starting a career in HSEQ.
Working in various onshore and offshore roles at differing level, my experience has led to me working closely with (and building positive relationships with) all levels of staff, from grass roots employees, up to senior level management with confidence, as well as liaising with regulatory bodies on HSE matters.
Open and honest individual, taking immense pride in the work I do, and am used to the sometimes-difficult challenges that can arise in this role. In my long and varied career in HSE, I have always maintained pride in my work and am a firm believer in doing the right thing all the time. With a strict mantra of “treat people as I expect to be treated,” I find I have made a positive impact in all roles I have held.
