Profile
I am a highly competent systems engineer with over sixteen years of experience, capable of working on a project from its initial
development stage right through to the commissioning stage either on my own or a part of a team. Working for long periods of
time on sites in both the UK and aboard has never been a problem. I have a good understanding of Health and Safety practices
and ensure that I am certified as a HSE Passport holder on a yearly basis. Although I have experience in many industrial
processes, I am always keen to be involved different or new processes which aid development and increases my problem solving
ability.

Key Achievements
Conversion of an old existing Texas Tisoft system into a new Siemens PLC Step 7 with a large number of both Profibus DP and
PA remote drops. Development of the related WinCC SCADA based Human Machine Interface system via Ethernet. Assessing
the old system and developing the new system was done over a long period on site. The commissioning period carried out
within a four day shutdown period. This was a highly successful development with the finished software improving the plant
functionality and reliability. This particular plant now continues to run at 90%+ availability.
Lead commissioning engineer for a green field Proppants plant in Venezuela. I was responsible for the successful
commissioning of all PLC and SCADA applications over the five month period on site. Also responsible for organizing the safe
commissioning of all areas of the plant within realistic time scales. My role during this project also included working in an
advisory capacity for the various suppliers and the end user.
Lead engineer in the development of the WinCC SCADA software for the control of two newly designed, fully automated
Hyperbaric deep sea dive suites. The commissioning of which, involved Step 7, FSYS safety software, WinCC Flex and
WinCC. The commissioning was carried out at sea on the working vessel with a 4 week on 2 week off rotation system.

Role: I was still working as part of a team of engineers, often as team leader. I also worked on many projects
from start to finish alone still including development of Functional Design Specification and operation
manuals and testing of control panels. During this period I also assisted in the development of a standardized
