Present
Controls Systems – Operational Service Desk Technical Specialist, Siemens,
Warwick, UK
Technically managing reactive operational requests from our field service engineers and
from our customers in order to restore both their energy production and oil/gas
compressor capabilities (onshore and offshore platforms). To generate solutions I utilize
my expertise in controls systems and in aero-derivative gas turbines (Trent and RB211).
I work principally with Allen-Bradley and Entronic programmable logic controller PLCs
(FT55, FT100, FT110, FT125), Wonderware Human Machine Interface HMI, vibration
system Bently Nevada BN3500 and customer site schematics.
The key systems controlled are fuel valve, variable inlet guide vane, bleed off valve (for
the gas turbine), air and oil flow control (for the overall package), fire and gas detection
systems.
