PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

CAREER SUMMARY

My career has been built upon experience gained in the process industries: oil & gas (offshore and onshore), petro-chemical and power-generation. The primary role has been instrument engineering: mainly detail engineering / design through facilities engineering, application engineering, construction, inspection, commissioning and maintenance for offshore and onshore oil and gas facilities and multi-discipline project management. There have been assignments in thirteen foreign countries in five continents; most overseas projects have been undertaken in the Asia / Pacific Rim region.

In addition to the usual instrument engineering roles, since 1986 there has been increasing emphasis upon PC-based software skills. This began with the development and management of instrument schedule / index databases in dBase-III; thereafter Foxbase, FoxPro, Access and IN-Tools in a Windows NT, XP and Vista environment; also use of instrument vendor sizing/selection software.

In order to formalize the professional IT skills gained, a British Open University B.Sc. degree course was taken from 1991 to 1994 and an instrument schedule database management project was completed for an honours classification in 1997. The main theme of the course was IT and systems engineering.
