Professional profile
I am a multi discipline pipe line specialist, working across many industries from Oil and Gas
to nuclear, with over 15 years’ experience of project managing. I am fully capable of working
with a variety of materials, ranging from Carbon Steel to Chrome Alloy and many sizes of
pipe, whether it be small 1” and 2” Stainless to 72” Carbon. I have worked throughout the
world, in countries including; UK, USA, Norway, Netherlands and more, working with a mix
of nationalities. Most recent projects involved managing teams of Polish pipe-fitters, riggers
and welders. In these recent positions I have not only managed the team on site but also been
very client facing, dealing with companies such as Alstom, Essent and Copisa Industrial to
name a few. An example being, I would report to the client, providing information on the
progress we have made, as well as explaining the problems we have overcome, and any
possible future problems. Together with this, I would offer solutions to overcome the issues,
providing the most low cost yet safest answer, enabling the project to continue meeting
quality standards and deadlines.
