Additional information

In recent years (to date) I was ' offshore safety representative' and 'Environmental Health and Safety' committee member for the MSV 'Seawell'. I was also 'offshore safety delegate' for the DSV 'Wellservicer'.

I have undergone many safety training courses, including 'Offshore safety Rep', having always put myself forward for as much training as possible in order to increase my knowledge.

I am currently waiting for my 'NEBOSH General certificate' exam results, due in August.

During my offshore career as an ROV operator, I have been involved in subsea construction works, mainly from the DSV Wellservicer (e.g. spool and manifold installations, diver support, piling operations, umbilical and riser installation, debris clearance, suction anchor installation), and well intervention works, from the MSV Seawell.

I was also an air diver offshore for Technip, but mainly dived inshore for various construction companies.

For the last decade I have worked primarily in the North Sea, but also in the Tera Nova and Hibernia fields off Newfoundland.

I have also been involved with various System integration trials, and occasional audits for Technip.
