For this job we are also trained in confined space training and also rescue training, working closely with the on-site rescue team if needed.
2013 – 2014:
Multitech Bergen, Norway – General Labourer
In 2013 Harland & Wolff got awarded the refurbishment of the Blackford Dolphin Oil Rig. I started with a company called Multitech Bergen, they are based in Norway and I was taken on as a skilled labourer. Basically my role entailed helping the platers with all the steelwork around the rig, measuring up, setting out steel for platers to start there job safely. Also dismantling and deconstruct any steel or frames that was in the rig refurbishment plan. When they have finsihed welding a job, my job was to go behind the welders, grinding in there welds for a neater and better finish.
2008 – 2012:
Harland & Wolff Heavy Industries – Painter/Blaster
I started working in Harland & Wolff within the Blocking Shop on the Wind Energy project, preparing surfaces on the turbines ready for multicoat painting. In this time here I had many off roles preparing surfaces using needle gun or high power blasting equipment. The projects in Harland & Wolff were anything from small jobs from railing prepping and painting, to ships hulls, oil rig colums and cross overs. Always working within a team or on our own, whilst paying strong attention to my safety and the Health & Safety of others around me. I have worked with some single coat paints, two pack paints and one coat anti-corriosion paints.
2005 – 2008:
Pyeroy / Woodgroup – Scaffolder
I started working here in 2005 on my return from Austraila. Scaffolding is a hard grafting job and in which I loved the challenge. Working in Belfast Shipyard, scaffolding ships for repair wether it be steel repair or just general maintanence. We erected the scaffolding to that job to the highest standard making sure all workers using our scaffolding was supplied with a safe structure on which to do there work. When things were quiet in Belfast we would also be sent to Plymouth Dockyard to scaffold some off the MOD naval ships.
2002 – 2004:
Seastone Recruitment, Australia – Roustabout
I started working through a recruitment agency but was allocated to Ensco Drlling on the Ensco 102 platform, just off the West Coast of Austraila. My position was as Roustabout and I really enjoyed this job as never one day to the next was the same which. On my time there I had many jobs as roustabout and on a daily basis I would be doing deck work, linking up with the crane op, moving containers, working alongside supply vessels, needle gunning/painting preping surface, cleaning and all housekeeping duties. I was also taking part in the Heli-deck team which was a emergencey response team.
2000 – 2002:
Watson Mechanical Components – General Assistant
My first job on leaving School was in Watsons, as I have a very keen interest in Mechanical work. My work here was stripping back faulty components, checking for any faults, logging the fault into the data base and then try and fix the fault. I was also tasked to oiling all components before dispatch.
Hobbies & Interests
My hobbies are Fishing, Football, Gym training, Water sports, hill climbing and also socialising with friends.
