CAREER OBJECTIVES
I endeavour to create, improve and implement high profile systems for all aspects of quality control.
Maintaining a high level of transparency in work ethic and productivity, I enjoy a team environment
and am committed to growth and learning. Health, safety and the wellbeing of colleagues is paramount
to any working or personal environment with positive rewards being better productivity and
communication skills. Although I have been in the oil, gas, maritime, construction, mining and energy
sectors for the past 30 years I am open to new ideas and acknowledge that learning, particularly in
these fields, should never be taken for granted; education comes in all shapes and forms on a daily
basis.
I strive to be the best I can in any given situation and am constantly reviewing the status quo for any
areas of improvement. Confirmation and adherence to specification is always taken with the utmost
diligence and as such my intention is to see client and employer relationships prosper.
My objective would be to positively contribute to any team utilising my extensive industry knowledge
and training. I am keen to support staff in any of my capabilities whilst keeping an open mind with
regard to change and growth.
