Employment
USA
2008 - 2010 Schlumberger Oilfield Services, Cleburne TX (Field
Engineer)
This Field Engineer position was in the Well Services Segment of the
Oilfield Industry (Cementing specifically). Between office and field work,
this was a well rounded, both thrilling and challenging experience. Office
duties included conversing with company representatives to design and bid
for cement jobs (using CemCADE and Wellbook). Field work involved carrying
out cement jobs -operating equipment and treating the cement procedure on
location (using WRS3, FTL and CemCAT).
Another position held here was the Loss Prevention Team Leader -focusing on
QHSE. This role broadened my role in the company, and involved completing
Accident Investigations and QHSE Compliance Audits for the district.
Throughout my time here, intense training courses were completed in
Cementing, Reservoir Engineering, QHSE, Loss Prevention, Crash Free Driving
and many others.
2004 - 2007 Relocated to Miami Beach, FL - granted US residency Oct 30 2007
UK
2002 - 2003 Calor Gas, Warwick, England (Undergraduate Engineer)
Internship; This placement position of my degree was an Undergraduate
Engineer assigned to various problem solving and cost analysis projects. A
significant amount of time was spent designing in AutoCAD 2002. Key
projects undertaken were as follows:
Ultrasonic System -Designed and implemented gas tank measurement systems to
optimize gas delivery schedules. Prior to implementation, tank gas levels
were unknown resulting in partial deliveries of gas when truck capacities
exceeded tank requirements. After implementation, the required deliveries
were reduced from 1,770 to 811 per year. Resultant savings were
approximately $100,000.00
Gas Recovery System redesign - Redesigned a pump line system to increase
pump efficiency. By realigning the system at a cost of approximately
$7,000.00, this resulted in a cost avoidance of $70,000.00 to replace the
existing pump.
Breakaway Coupling -Redesigned and reoriented trailer couplings to minimize
risk of structural failure and gas release. This design had a great impact
on the company, due to the fact that a failure and its coupling could
ignite the LPG and cause loss of life.
I also completed the first year of the 4-year "Monitored Professional
Development Scheme", which leads to chartered status through the Institute
of Mechanical Engineers.
