Employment History
Feb 2011-Present Technip AMOS
I have been working as a Pipelay Equipment Engineer whilst with Technip, on a DP2 S lay deepwater derrick pipelay vessel, working as shift supervisor to the deck engineering department which consists of hydraulic technicians, instrument technicians, tensioner operators and mechanics. I am responsible for all pipelay associated machinery including 3 x 125 MT Remacut Tensioners, all pipe handling hydraulic machinery, NOV Abandonment and Recovery winch, 2 x 40MT MSB12 diesel hydraulic cranes and a 1200MT Amclyde NOV Post crane (PC-37). Whilst my background is mainly mechanical, I have some training in Rockwell drives and a basic electrical understanding commensurate with my role as supervisor. I have been responsible for all planned maintenance, and ensuring that we have adequate spare parts for upcoming services, equipment failure etc. I have recently undertaken the Control of Work training relating to Permits to Work, LOTO etc. I fully participate in the writing of JRA’s (Job Risk Assessments) and tool box talks prior to every evolution. I am fully conversant with the issuance of permits to work for working at height, hot work, cold work and confined space entry etc. I am conversant with the Code of safe working practices and various regulations such as LOLER. The vessel has been involved in various pipelines and heavy lift operations including 30 inch concrete coated pipeline and a 750 MT accommodation block installation. The vessel has worked in the Dubai, Ghana, Mexico and the United States.
Sept 2007-Feb 2011 Maersk Supply Service
Whilst with Maersk I was working as an engineering officer on DP2 AHTS vessels. The vessels I have served on are UMS vessels, engaged in Anchor Handling and Platform Supply work, and also underwater ploughing operations. The DP system operated is the K-pos. I have new build experience, undertaking all new build courses and worked alongside in the shipyard as the vessel was completed. I have experience of working in the North Sea, Brazil and Australia. The main machinery I have worked on during my time with Maersk is MAK Main Engines, Caterpillar Generators, Rolls Royce Thrusters and Winches. I have winch driving experience during anchor handling and towing operations, as well as knowledge of cargo systems including fuel, pot water and mud transfer to platforms. I have undertaken several courses during this time including, but not only, DP technical and Intro, Anchor Handling (including simulator training) MAK engines and Rolls Royce thrusters and propulsion.
June 2004-Sept 2007 Seacor Marine Offshore
Whilst working for this company, I was employed as an engineering officer in sole charge of an engineering watch for not less than 8 hours a day on a PSV’s. The vessels I served on during this time were employed in the North Sea. I gained experience in cargo systems during my time with seacor including fuel and pot water transfer to platforms. The main machinery I worked on was NOHAB Diesel Main Engines, Rolls Royce Main Engines and Caterpillar Generators.
April 1997-June 2004 Viking Offshore
Whilst working for this company I was employed as an engineering officer in sole charge of the watch for not less than 8 hours a day on ERRV’s. Previous to this I was employed as a motorman whilst working toward an NVQ level 3 in merchant vessel engineering, and subsequently gaining an Officer of the Watch (unlimited) ticket in engineering. The vessels I served on were employed in the North Sea. I worked on various engine types including Caterpillar, MAK, MAN, Polar, Volvo Penta and Schottel.
March 1995-April 1997 Charford Shipping/Vector Offshore
Whilst working for this company I was employed as a motorman/Un-certificated engineer. This company was my introduction to life offshore; I quickly outgrew the Further Education
