Profile

I am an enthusiastic, diligent and highly motivated individual with excellent communication skills and a second-to-none attitude to safety. I am used to working unsupervised and using my initiative. I possess excellent organizational and man management skills and am computer literate. I have a proven track record working in both the marine and oil/gas industries both in the UK and abroad. I have considerable experience of working in a multi-cultural, multi-linguistic environment. As the small number of assignments listed highlights, I am extremely loyal and have been held in high esteem wherever I have served.
