Career Summary
Involved with the oil industry since 2001. Motivated, keen to broaden my experience within the oil
industry, I started working for Wellserv as an Agency employee, pressure washing the offshore
equipment upon its return onshore, then progressed to the workshop for 2 years, learning all I could
about the application and servicing of Wireline Equipment, before starting work offshore in
December 2002.
During my time with Wellserv and Expro I worked on the Thistle, Murchison, Brent and Ninian
Platforms, also gaining experience in Denmark, Holland and Norway on a variety of Jack­Ups and
Semi Submersibles. Since moving to Archer I have furthered my experience in both Norway and
Denmark, broadening my E­line experience, with Perforating operations, Interwell, Welltec and
various Logging operations. while continuing to work with Slickline, on both Semi Subs and
platforms.I have also been training in the use of Warrior software, and the deployment of Sondex
tools.
A strong, determined and reliable team worker, but also comfortable leading by example. I am
always looking to gain more knowledge and experience. I am a confident communicator,
comfortable when dealing with customers, clients and work colleagues and strive to nurture a sense
of team spirit in those I work with. I have always made myself available for training and new
opportunities.
